[WrongEverything]

I've gotten this before...

That feeling where you know you can totally just sell what little you do actually own and just take off. To wherever.

Just up and leave my home... no notes, no goodbyes. Just me gone.

And then I'd think about how i'd probably end up killing myself if I had to live on the streets for more than a day.

But I know my parents would start this man-hunt, involve the cops. So maybe a tiny note. So they know I left on my own, not some crazy kidnapping....

one day maybe.

I daydream about this one too.... sometimes it's got good daydreams, other days not so good....

But the urge to up and disappear is a consistent one for me.

Instead, I indulge in planning vacations. I've got about a million different vacations planned out. And I nearly always travel alone, so when I'm gone I can indulge myself in being TOTALLY away from everyone and everything that I know. And then I'll get it out of my system, and will come home and resume life as "normal".

You don't know how much I wish that I cold just up and disappear Wrong, especially when I'm feeling so stressed and on a verge of a mania. Went on a cruise one time w/ friends, and they had to drag me back on the ship, b/c I didn't want to come back home. I really didn't. Didn't have anything to come home too.

Yes I know exactly how you feel.

Once again, Wrong, you remind me of me. I once did this when I was about 25. I was married and had a child at the time. In the middle of a massive freak out, I left without telling anyone and went to the airport. According to me I was going to go to Mexico and start over. Of course, I had no damn passport or luggage, so they told me no when I tried to buy a ticket. LMAO at myself. I roamed the airport like a crazy person all night long. Then when I started to realize I shouldn't be there, I went to leave and had lost my car! I had to call my husband to come pick me up and then we had to hunt my car down.

At the time I really didn't realize I was bipolar. But in retrospect, this was obviously in the middle of a manic episode. Shortly there after I went inpatient and then intensive outpatient for awhile. The doctors told me I was bipolar, but I thought they were the nutty ones, not me! SMH.

Anyway, yes, I understand. Sometimes I still get the urge, but now I know that I couldn't even keep track of my car if I tried

Ha - I really am just laughing right now, but back then it was soooooo not funny.

I've given strong consideration to becoming a hobo, but never had the gumption to carry through. Bad ideas almost always sound good to me. I'm just lucky one of the stronger voices in my head usually tells me to quit being an idiot. Not always though, and that's how I went from heading to one of the states biggest party schools as a studio art major to doing a complete 180 and joining the Marines after high school.
