    Feel like running away again.

    There once was a time when I lived with my parents in my twenties, that I had the most freedom I ever had. I was done school, no job, not many responsibilities. I had a bike and I would travel into town at night and go shopping. Sometimes I would bike to the beach and sleep in the sand...

    Feel like running away again.

    I looked at the hotel options in my area and there really aren't any good deals. All expensive, not a nice place to stay. So back packing it is. I thought now that I've got my period, the urge to run would go. But it's still here. But I'm on social media again lol. I also haven't showered in a...

    Feel like running away again.

    Nah I'm fine as long as I use the bathroom before I go out. I haven't tried kegel excersizes yet to be honest. Seems like I'm always too busy or too tired. Maybe I should put in more effort.

    Feel like running away again.

    I already talked to my doctor about it. It’s not bladder incontinence it’s the other horrible kind. I used to have accidents after I got out of the hospital years ago. It hasn’t happened in recent years but sometimes I barely make it to the bathroom on time. My doctor thinks medications don’t...

    I do have some money saved actually. I couldn’t go on vacation but it might be fun to stay at a hotel. I could only probably afford one night though. And if that isn’t an option maybe I could just pack a back pack and stay out all day and go on a picnic. Really good idea thanks.

    Feel like running away again.

    I mentioned it a few times to the people that give me my depot injection. I can’t remember if I mentioned it to my psychiatrist. They haven’t been very helpful. I’ll mention it to them again though and see what they say. Although I’m afraid of the answer because I’ve had some really bad...

    I know I complain about this a lot but it helps to vent.

    Feel like running away again.

    I suspect social media might be triggering me. The comparisons to ‘free spirited people’, the persuading quotes. I should really take a break from social media. But for some reason I’ve been finding it hard to concentrate on other things, like books and movies. It could be because of the late...

    Are you an older adult that feels somewhat marginalized and at times gaslit by medical personnel?

    I have had some bad experiences with doctors and nurses being really rude. Only a few of them nice.

    Feel like running away again.

    It might just be pms. But I feel very frustrated right now. I can't work because of my mental illness and all the side effects of my medications. So I'm stuck on independent living support. It feels like living in a group home in your own apartment because there is always someone there to baby...

    Problems with hoarding

    That's actually a really good idea. I could go to a fitness center in my town that has a canteen and seating areas. I could sketch there to get out of the house, or even go swimming there.

    Problems with hoarding

    Maybe what I could do is pick certain days to get free stuff. Like not every time they are open. It’s just finding the will power to do that, that is the problem. I think I’ll try to go to the pantry tomorrow though because I need food.

    Problems with hoarding

    I'm starting to feel like with all this free stuff, that it's never enough anymore. It's like I'm trying to fill a gap. I think it has to do with my mental illness.

    Problems with hoarding

    This hasn't become a problem quite yet but it could become one. There are lots of places in my town where you can get free stuff. Like when I go for my depot injection there is a food pantry there and you can get a bag of groceries every time you go for depot. I don't see that part as a problem...

    Depo appointment tomorrow

    Things are going better now. I've had some help from people from mental health services. I had a hard winter though. Got really sick. It was really cold. I think I might have seasonal affective disorder really bad. I suffer a lot over the winter. Got one of those therapy lights for SAD but it...
