Wanting To Get Away From Everything

[djordjem87]

When you want to get away you should get away simply because you know the best what you need. Whatever our feeling are there is a good reason for them. I usually just go for long walks or just sit near the river the whole day, reading a book or walking my dog and playing with him. We worry too much about how our acting will be understood but honestly we shouldn't because they are our own feelings and we should not try to avoid them. If you feel good to go to your holiday cottage for a weekend you should do it and if you can get away from everything in your mind I think that is also a good thing to do.

I agree sometimes we just have to get up the courage to get out of our comfort zone. A good walk can do wonders for the mind and the body and it doesn't even have to be that long just as long as it's somewhere were you fell comfortable.

Yep, sure have. Distractions make me anxious because there's so much to do, yet I can't focus on it. The more I have to do, the worse it can be because I can get overwhelmed. It's a matter of getting in the right mindset and starting somewhere. I'm one that it helps me if I can focus on the task at hand with no distractions. It's one thing to take a break, but constant interruptions make it difficult and can cause anxiety.

I think that its normal to want to get away from everything sometimes! Sometimes things or people make me so disgusted or sick, that I just want to shut everything out for awhile. If you feel like things are distracting you from your work, why not do it? It can be as simple as plugging in some earphones and listening to some happy music and turning off your phone and all social media for a few hours or a couple of days. When I do this, I focus on myself rather than others, and feel so refreshed afterwards!

111kg, you're right, it's not anxiety, or at least to me. I consider it just an emotion state that you don't want to be in because of surrounding events. I feel like this lots of times threw out every week because I have a busy schedule. I always try to make time for myself, and just be alone.


It's like a sanity move for me, and when you have lots of things going on in your life, you need to get away because you can break. You have to keep yourself together, so when those times do come, you can deal with them much better.

Yes I feel like this a lot I actually have GAD and SAD so I feel like being away from everyone all the time. I Think at times it is good to get some alone time, but when it's to the point when you feel like being alone a lot of the time that could turn into a problem.

MichaelJacob That's the problem though. I think that I have gotten used and comfortable with being alone most of the time that I no longer go out and socialize. I really don't know what happened to me but I wasn't like this before. Something in me has changed a lot and I don't know how it happened.

I feel like that quite often. It does make it difficult sometimes to get the things done that I need to. I've found that if I fully let myself escape for a little bit, usually a set amount of time, I feel better afterwards and am able to continue on with my work. Sometimes it doesn't work but I think more often than not it does.

Well I get this feeling all of the time. I think that I have gotten better at socializing and opening up a little bit, but there are times when it just reaches a boiling point and I need to just throw in the towel. I have never been good at parties or exceptionally large gatherings, and if there is a lull or a little time when I cannot really find anyone to talk to, I will just leave and sneak out the back. Might get a few phone calls later or texts asking where I went, and I can just ignore those if I really need to. That is just me in a nutshell though, but thanks for sharing.
