All Trust Out The Door

[Wolvescry]

I am done, I can not fight people's reaction and judgment. I think I am going to move far away so I can start over. Delete all my social media and live a simple life. If he is willing to have me I will take the one person in the world I trust and we can create our own little world of safety and love. I do not think I want to have children anymore, I think I just want to live a relaxing peaceful environment where I can feel safe and simple for the rest of my life and know I can stay out of people's way. I am happy keeping to myself.

I want to do the same, but completely on my own. I am actually working in that direction as I know I will never meet the American standard of being able to hold down a 9-5 job working 40 hours a week just so that I can *maybe* save enough to retire one day (highly likely as I'm in my 30's with little savings).... So I ask myself, what is the point in becoming what society wants me to become when there is a snowballs chance in hell that I will not fall completely short of.....anything? I think my symptoms will get better, too, because much of my stress comes from trying to conform to the status quo.

Yes, I completely get what you are saying. I wish there was a way to fix things.

I have had these thoughts too. If you want to be able to enjoy the peace and solitude that comes from being away from other people and not having to deal with them at all, I would suggest following through on those thoughts. I would also suggest though, that before you do something that will drastically change the course of your entire life, perhaps try it out on a more temporary basis. Go for a month long backpacking trip alone. Heck, go for a week. Time spent alone in the wilderness has been incredibly restorative for me. It might seem futile if you just have to come back to dealing with the same situations afterwards, but it really can make a huge difference.

Aw that would be so nice:p I suggested in one post our own island for PTSD people.:hug:

 

[Wolvescry]

Notsowild- I love that idea!

An island where there is absolutely no need to communicate unless you want to, and no-one takes it as a personal offence.

An island where no-one touches you... with the only exception of expressly granted, one-time-only permission.
