how are you doing now

I was in a very bad way a few weeks ago, which is why I came back here. Coming back here was the first step to figuring out what my problem is, and thanks to having this refuge where I can express what I think of as "my worst thoughts", I've been able to take steps to improve my mental state. I'm in a much better way now.

Sorry. For how things have turned out, for the stupid stufff I've written.
Seabird I wish you could find a way to stop tearing yourself down. You are an absolute treasure on SF. I know you were in a relationship that did not work out. Don't forget, it takes two people to make a relationship work. You could be absolutely perfect and still have it fail it the other person would not work with you.
Please be kinder to yourself.

i'm glad you're doing better. i hope you stick around after everything is completely better. it's nice to not only have a place to vent and get help but it's nice to be with friends. hope to see you around for a while, you are a nice person

All i am feeling right now is a huge desire and overwhelming need to run (not physically go running) and escape. Escape what??? i am unsure. Which makes it difficult to know where to escape to.
I know that feeling all too well. I put it as feeling like drowning by the weight of life and the world or trying to claw out of quicksand pulling you down. I believe it was @SillyOldBear in a recent thread describing a generation or so back times then had their issues but things were simpler and slower for all. No electronic smart anything and everything be an instant rush and crush. You had the time to work through problems that came up. It only gets worse with age as you lose energy and vitality to hurry and scurry about. Escape, I am for it.

That’s a trauma response. I frequently say this, and I do so because it’s so very true. The vast majority of our unhealthy behaviors are due to some younger part of ourselves that has not healed.

Aside from that, the verbiage you use is a textbook description of our instinctive response to threats, aka “fight or flight.” We know instinctively how to size up a situation and decide whether to fight or get the hell out of there. Animal studies indicate that the most efficient strategy is to flee every time it’s available, and only fight when trapped.

I can draw this out with a silly observation. Rabbits are arguably the world champions of getting away from threats in a hurry. Coincidentally, there is no shortage of bunnies hopping around. They do occasionally get eaten, but those unfortunate bunnies are the exception to the rule, lol.
