I'm okish.

I was just in the woods that I thought that I knew. My friends wanted to go back, so I told them to go, and that I'll catch up. So, a few seconds later, I changed my mind and I started up the very steep hill that they had went up. I then get out of the woods, and they weren't there! So, I start running up the hill, and I get lost. I think that I'm in a different neighborhood. But I later learn that I was in the same neighborhood, but, I couldn't recognize it. Anyways, when I come up into an intersection between 4 streets, a random old man crossing, but I didn't think that I needed his help. I'm already crying, so I tried to run after him. I caught up fairly easily, so I asked him, "Do you know where ****chase is?" (I did what I did because it was my street name) He told me that he didn't. So, I then ask him, "Do you think that you could GPS it? I'm lost, I can't find my way back..." So he did that. We started walking, and after like 10 minutes, I then recognized the fire department a little distance away. So I asked him if that was it. He said that it was. So I told him that I can find my way back now, and thanked him. He made sure that I was okay, and then walked back to his house. I started running o the street. I found it! So, I then started sprinting as fast as I could. Thank God I'm really fast! So, I then run back. My people were in the front yard. I ran into my friend's mom's arms, balling my eyes out. I said sorry for doing what I did, and she told me "Don't be sorry." So then I hug my friend. I was so upset, relieved, and scared. I mean, what if something happened to me? I didn't have my phone with me. Anyways, I'm about to start chatting with her about trying to convince her mom to keep me.

Yeah, I also found a golf ball in he woods, so if he tried anything I'd hit him where it hurts and start running/screaming.

Please try and be a careful next time you go on a trip out , im sure everyone on here would be worried and panic stricken in your situation , i know i would of been. I dearly hope you dont think im interfering dear, im just trying to help and also trying to say just take some kind of item which could help you find yourself ok. I hope you get over it and it does not spoil your days out in the woods where it sounds idyllic , id love be able to get out but if something like that happened id be having panics just thinking of going there again. I only have your best interests at heart x
