Ah bummer. At least she lets you go!

That sounds like a lot of work but so worth it I’m sure! Does your wife go with you? You make me want to buy books and start planning lol. I doubt that we’ll go very far for quite a while but I don’t mind that. Just really want to get out!

Oh I am very aware of the way depression works - at least for me - I was first diagnosed at 15, one suicide attempt, years of self harm, hospitalized 5 times. Some things make it a little better or worse. I’ve tried lots of medications too but the side effects are hard and most didn’t work anyway.

I Thats really cool that you’ve traveled through almost every state! It encourages to me know I’m not the only one that can’t jump in 100 percent. It’s crazy how much planning and preparation and waiting is required to have a “simple life”!

Yeah I know about those groups. From what I’ve seen they mostly have fancy rvs to travel in and are doing it right now or have immediate plans to. I don’t fit there either. And while I agree some of the feelings I have are normal I will research vitamins and see if there is anything I’m...

The world makes it too hard to just exist. We were homeless about 5 years ago. We lived in a shelter for almost a year and there was a constant threat of being kicked out. All I wanted then and now was somewhere to go, alone, to be. To not bother or need anyone or anything. But you have to...

True. I am trying to be content in my life now. There are definitely things that are easier but I still feel trapped. Idk. I think the advice to camp more and more is good. I don’t work unless you count homeschooling and taking care of 5 kids lol. Usually I feel like this more in the winter.

Thanks for explaining that. I don’t know how I could accomplish it though - short of medication to numb my brain. But my husband doesn’t want me to take anything anymore. I get what you are saying that it would be easier to do alone. I think the only problem would be I would eventually lose...

What do you mean? The last part.

Thank you💛

True! Though I still have kids at home for quite a while. Some would be up for full time, not the oldest or my husband though :/

Yeah I’m 41 and I think my dad was 45 when he killed himself (I was 7) - trying to avoid that for myself and especially my kids.

Thank you. That’s a good way to look at it. I’m not retirement age anyway at 41.

Quiet is probably what I’ve been looking for. With my mental health though it’s pretty hard.

I don’t know if this dream of mine will ever happen but here I am learning and dreaming and hoping it will. Someday. Just so tired of the world as it is. For now I go camping. So jealous and in awe of all of you that do this!
