I get tempted to do that quite often. The reality is that too much time to yourself is not always helpful. Too much time to ponder.

Hello

My first big breakdown.

Over many years I have loved Scotland and I was so far away I wanted to drive for ever and go to to Elienn Donan Castle, I had no where to go when I got there,had no money for a bed and breakfast and most probably would have had to sleep in the car,

My father managed to change my mind, although I did not have the money for the petrol

So I understand where you are coming from or should it be going too

Relax sleep on it

All the best

Sleep on it for a night. Don't do anything yet. See how you feel about it the next morning.

Why do you say you have nowhere to go? Perhaps it doesn't have to be someplace new, it can be a night at a friend's place?

That sounds like good advice from Maya_dawn. It seems like you know that your life needs a bit of a change (from looking at your previous posts as well) But take your time, do it gradually and think about what it is you need to achieve. Work on each goal one by one rather than acting impulsively as in my experience I think you would achieve better results that way as you need to think of the longterm. If you do have a friends just to visit for cup of tea and a chat over things then this may help you feel a little less stressed by things . Hope this helps :)

It sounds like you are having a hard time right now. Do you have anyone with whom you can share how you feel, if not then do ask your GP to refer you to a counsellor, meanwhile remember the Samaritans are there if you feel desperate - they are not just about suicide but for anyone who needs help and has nowhere else to turn. If you are having relationships difficulties then Relate are also good and charge according to means. I hope you find someone with whom you can talk through how you are feeling and who can help you to find alternative solutions.

I have no one that's sometimes the most difficult thing. I'm fed up of trying to be the string one I need someone to take care of me for a change

Can I ask if you are on an antidepressants . I know from Reading your post you

Had drug problems. Are you clean from the drugs now? As that could explain

Why you feel like this.

Well I know that one. I went to a bed and breakfast and just needed time out. My exhusband still thinks i was unfaithful well thats his problem. Is there a friend who could help with your son.. Or take a bus somewhere with your son, for a good day out. A long bus ride, pack a lunch!.

Or see if someone would lend you a tent, and have an adventure.

Plan it with the holidays, so your son does not loose his time at school.

Take it as an adventure!

Sometimes we need to have time to "have time out to think"

Not what you're looking for?
