Escaping from reality ?

Well, when I feel like that I get online or I take a day off work. Even if I can't afford it. It's called loose that money or maybe loose job. I'll loose one day of pay first. I turn on music and read pick up house a little go to the park. I do not do anything to upset my mood sometimes in this day and age you just need a day. Not the oh you have the weekend off you need your own day that you pick. It helps. Then back to reality which still bites but atleast I can deal. Without yelling or having a melt down. Take a day to enjoy you. It will help. Tell how it goes ok?

Well, Nrg, it seems you need a vacation. You don't have to leave town; just shut down for a couple of days. Relax. Read. Take long, soothing baths. Don't answer the phone or the door. Pretend you're not home, and just vegetate for a few days. I've learned that's the best way to handle those times I just want to run away. The other solution is to go off somewhere unknown, and live for a few days in a way totally different from your usual life. Party hard and rest hard. Try one or two things you never tried before. Enjoy!! Good luck!

Yes, I can relate to that!! I dont think its a problem or unreasonable to want an hour or two to yourself sometimes. Being a different 'me' in my head for a little while has got me through some difficult times because it just offers a bit of respite from the way things really are if you're unable to change them.

I think everyone would like to escape from reality sometimes,i know i certainly would,as for wanting to be alone.i completely understand,when theres no one around,theres no one around to annoy you! When i want to escape from reality i do,i just think of a fantasy (steady!) and i go off into my own little dream world where it's nice and i'm a rich movie director,who just won an oscar for best film! :)
