Run away

[zigs]

I guess its a tradition of my family to run away at some point in there life.

Let's start with my dad: He ran away from his orphanage when then diagnosed him with depression.
My big sister: She ran away when she got pregnant, although it was planned, she's back now.
My big brother: He ran away when my mum was hospitalized, he's back now.
My twin brother: He ran away when I fell off my bike, didn't come back for nearly a day, he was about four...
Me: I ran away an hour before my wedding, and when my sister ran off.
My little bro ran away:
1, when he was six, because he didn't like staying still,
2, when he was called a retard at school, (age 7)
3, when my mum was hospitalized, (age 10)
4, when he was officially classed as a genius (age 11)
5, when he was depressed (age 14)
6, when he was in the middle of an anxiety attack, was gone for a week, suffers with memory loss of that week (age 15)
7, when he was shot in America, ran away from the shock (age 15)
8, when he was moving from the hospital in America to one in England
9, when he thought he was causing issues
10, Five days ago, no reason explained, came back earlier this morning, he didn't seem to bothered.

I never really know the reason behind running away, I was wondering if anyone really knows why, shock, fear, boredom, depression?
Do people ever really plan it?

Whenever I run away, or fail to, it's because I'm overcome with sadness caused by my family. Like when I found out that Dad had cheated on us, and that Mum would never ever ever forgive him, and they would never get back together.

I feel like running away whenever I visit my Dad and his girlfriend.

I guess people run away, as a way of escaping their problems.
I guess it feels better, like you're doing something about it.

Naturally, the ideal thing to do is to face the problem, but sometimes, running works.
It feels better.

I've never run away though I have literally been on the verge with the whole thing planned out and ready. I mean I wasn't going like a few miles just to get away for a few days. I was going to California (I'm in Illinios so that's a huge distance.) I had everything ready. Food, money, clothes, budgets, everything. I might also add that I was also considering suicide at that point too. And then I got a Dachshund puppy. I've never thought of things like that agains since then cause if I'm gone I know my dachshund hating father will try to get rid of her. So I stay around jsut to make sure she doesn't go to any pound.

As a side note I named the dog Blessing. Despite being a little sub par on intelligence she has definitely lived up to the name after scaring off a burgler quite recently while I was down stairs without even so much as a stick to protect myslef with.

Hmmm... Very interesting. It seems running away is almost a part of you and your family, Zigs. Instead of dealing with the stress, you forget all about it when your'e far away. Or, at least, you try to do so. It's your way or coping, perhaps. Shock can leave you dazed, and sometimes you need time to adapt. Maybe it's your adaptation time, letting it all sink in. And it could be about ANYTHING: shock, sorrow, etc. But you seemed concerned about this. That's healthy, you should be concerned. Afterall, when you run away, you don't know where you're going. You're just...going. And if it's someone else in your family who's running away, it worries you. So... I can't really say that doing so is good or bad, it's just what you and your family tend to do I guess.

I've never run away from home, at least not alone. Only times was when my parents were seperating or getting a divorce(yes, there's a difference). So, I don't know exactly how that feels. I've always taken on my stress...or suffer from it.

i would say why people run away but i would be copying haunter and thats just stupid!
i don't really think running away is the right thing to do then again there have been times in my life where i thought about running away but i didn't want to cos i'm just giving in too easily


but then again.... running away can be good. it give you some time to recollect your thoughts so you don't so something stupid sometimes i think that maybe i did i wouldn't do some of the stupid things i do like getting iratable when people accuse me of spamming
