I want to leave but i don't know why!

Okay so sometimes i will wake up in the middle of the night, or i will be laying in bed trying to go to sleep or staring out a windon, and i just get the feeling that i shouldn't be where i am. like i want to get up and walk away from my house and my life, and just never come back. but i can't figure out why because everything in my life is great and i'm not trying to escape anything, so why am i feeling this way? and has anyone else ever felt this way, and what did you do about it?

    Sign harshbuttrue. Might be your a "normal person with a normal reaction" anyway. search indigo children on google. If you are werry young, this may be a sign that you are an old soul from another planet comming to earth to help humanity fix their problems at this time. Theese old/new souls often long soooo much for home, and their homeplanet that they get no feeling of happines in lond periods of life where the regular human would. you should do whatever you feel like and stand your ground, but dont give up, cause then you would have to come back and do it all over again. good luck, I see this as a stenght, cause deep down many of us know that life on earth needs to be changed, and many of us are here to help, and are angry and depressed. Fuck the system, love norway.

    yes, yes and YES. I myself gain this feeling, and I know of a separate life I just KNOW I would belong in, sadly the only way to get there is possibly through whatever comes after death.....

    You say that everything in your life is great, but what if something's missing? Are you truly satisfied with what you have and where you're going? Maybe you need to re-evaluate your life. Take care.

    This reminds me of when I started having depression. Maybe you should see your doctor and tell him/her how you feel. It might be stress-related or something more complicated, but it sounds like you need some peace of mind. The only way you can get it is by telling someone how you feel. Hopefully you'll feel better about it all soon.

    I think I understand what you're saying. At times in my life when I was doing really good, I wanted to run away because I thought, I'm doing so good it's tempting to succeed in completely different surrounding while I know success. It's especially tempting to run away while you're living out the best of a situation. Maybe you have kids, maybe you're 20, maybe 50. If no one is depending on you, sell everything and go fishing in Alaska.

    False happiness you are tricking yourself to think that your happy when your not happy at all so maybe you need to move on and do what you really where meant to do lead the life you where meant to live

    I do feel like this, mostly when things are bad in life. Like family problems or just drama with friends and I feel like I just want to run away from it all and start over in an another place.
    The best solution I think is to just rough it out...whatever you're going through or not going through

    I am a 28 year old female, mother of one amazing 7 year old child, dating a 37 year old with 2 children. I would love more then anything for the 2 of us to "run" away. but I know without a doubt that a few days later I would miss my daughter with everything I have in me. In reality I need to deal with the things that are bothering me and make better the things in my life that I can change. running away NEVER works.

    I've often felt that way, and I have walked away from my life several times.
    It never works.
    You always take along the source of what was wrong.
