Dear Kompar

thankyou for reaching out on the forums. You are surrounded by caring, genuine compassionate people who have a lot of life experience.

First step-you do not say why you need time out from your family and/or whether you are experiencing depression & anxiety. Answering this is fundamental to setting you on the right path. Do you see a GP or Pyschologist or Pyschiatrist? Are you on medication? I guess I'm trying to figure out if your need to escape for a while is due to you feeling overwhelmed and perhaps misunderstood. Most of us at some point want to escape the pain but the problem is no matter where we go the bad thoughts follow us. Do you feel up to expressing a bit more about what's led you to this point so we can offer you the best support? You've made a great start reaching out here-perhaps now you could elaborate more on your circumstances.

Hope to hear from you
