I'm tired of living at my parents, I'm tired of being stuck in a place that isn't good for me emotionally and mentally, a place that I tried to leave before but failed.
Last school semester I had the strongest urge to just pack up my things and leave. I wanted to travel, I wanted to go places where nobody knew who I was. I wanted to see more of the world, or even just more of the US, than I ever had before. But when I had let my parents know my plans, they refused and had me move back home instead.
I already suffer from depression, and I know I get impulsive from time to time, but this time I know it's more than just an impulse. I want to be free. I want to be *me*, but I can't do that living where I am now.
If it helps any, for those who may offer advice, I already have some semblance of a plan. I know I can only take limited things, and I have to be careful with my money. What I'm stuck on is how and where to start. To the doubters, think of this as a pilgrimage. I'm a spiritual person, so I know for a fact that if I do this, it will most certainly help my health. I'm not scared, I know what things to avoid so I won't get hurt or get in trouble. I just don't know how to begin.
I currently am working $13/hr for 20-30 hours a week. I don't have a car, but I have a license. I have health insurance. So I have steady income, I just... can't stand being here anymore. My family belittles me every time I get upset about something, and refuse to understand why I get hurt from the things they say and do. My sister most certainly has undiagnosed narcissistic personality disorder, my mom is unknowingly an emotional abuser, and both my brothers and my father are too indifferent to care. They'll miss me for a while, but I highly doubt it'd last long...
So. Any advice on how to start my hopeful nomadic journey? Thanks for reading my rambling.
