View Full Version : Do you ever just get the urge to disappear without telling anyone?
I'm in a bit of a shit state of affairs at the minute.
My job is boring and repetitive, I'm not making nowhere near as much money as I should be, I'm having problems sorting out my visa and need to go to Hong Kong on Sunday (which is always a fucking mess about), my girl is doing my nut in, I can't seen to get any business endeavours into fruitation, and I'm just so lathargic of it all.
I'm think I'm just gonna go to Thailand or even back to Japan and not tell anyone here, just go and leave it all behind.
If you could, would you?
I get that feeling at 5pm every Friday. :teeth:
I have axctually done it, for long periods of time & heavily regretted it.
As much as it sounds gay/cliched & a horrible prospect, its how you deal with those problems & make your own shit right, that will make you happy.
Running away from it doesn't make it go away, unfortunately.
I got married, it gave me focus & something to work for, but also opened up a whole new can worms lol.

Job wise I do...
I'm the same as you in that I don't get paid anywhere near enough for what I do.
I actually don't mind my job tho, and I think thats why I have settled into it too much here. I need to get my arse in gear and move onto bigger and better things.
i do and i would if my family wasn't so important to me

yea, i think everyone reaches a dead end every few years. you need to ask yourself, Am I Happy? is this it? I dont think up & leaving is the "MAN" thing to do tho... As much as you'd want to do that, your just to mature for that man.
Come to boston kehd, i'll get you started

what u need Indi is a holiday! when was the last time u went?
u need to reassess yr life imo... what u have ,what u need and what u want!
I felt like that for about 4 years mate.
and I still do.
I dislike this country and most of the people in it, as well as working a shit job that I hate, having no money ever if it wasnt for my mom, mrs and grandad id be off.
Im always thinking to myself what is the point in working a 40 hour week for shitty pay when I could be earning £700 plus per week for about 3 night work? Im only doing it for the Mrs...but sometimes I just think...Is it really worth it? being treated like a mug by lower management with a chip on their soldier when I could just fuck it all off and have a much more comfortable life without the hassle.
In short mate I know your pain lol.

I'd suggest a job teaching English abroad, most people can do it, pays decent and you can go wherever you want.
My pals just finished his final exam for it and is going away for a couple of years, looks really exciting.

Im only 20 and yeh i do, i hate this country, whether ill be happy with being a design technician forlong is doubtful I'd love to move somewhere outside the uk.
Not yet.
My life is pefect at the moment.
Good job, fucking amazing wages for my age, real good friends, family going good.
Only thing it lacks is a girl. As in a proper girlfriend that I'm serious about.
Random flings fill that void for the mean time though :)

I often consider it, but I'd be a fool to. I've got one more year of uni to go and when i finish that I'll be on to a career with good money and the ability to move up.
The job itself sucks but it allows me to buy more vinyl.
Whats your wage then Cash Money?
Good effort, is that still below the higher tax band?
Even on my pittance earnings it grates me that I'm paying 25% of it to lazy fucks and invalids..

What do you do Brofski?
i've felt like this many a time.
shit gets on top and you feel suffocated by it.
hopefully some of your problems will sort themself out enough for you to be able to concentrate on solving others. whilst it'll be tough, there is so much more to gain from solving them than running away, however tempting it is.
good luck, indi.

I've got to go to Hong Kong on Sunday to try and sort out my visa. However, if it goes tits up, I'm gonna go back into China on a travel visa and sort out my affairs there, and then probably go back to the UK for a bit, try to get a job and save up/hustle for a while.
I've lived in both Japan and Thailand before so I know I can do that again. Wouldn't mind something stateside, if I can get the sponsor. Also, I got a brother living in Australia, so that's a possibility too.
TBH I want to live/work anywhere except in the UK.
And as for the holiday question, I last took a proper holiday about 3 years ago. I used to do a lot of traveling as part of my work, but its not the same, is it?

Iv done it twice. Well worth it both times.
First one was about 4 months. People knew where I was but it was quite far away. Second time was only about a week, but only like 2 people knew where I was.
Sometimes everything can just proper get to you and you need some time to rethink things.
Whatever you do hope you sort it out man.
:2thumbs:
all this hate ppl. look at what's good in your lives before running away
i'd rather be sitting in my shithole of a flat here in the UK than living it up in somalia having to pirate to earn a living
can't beat a bit of rape & pillage

Not so much bothered about people knowing where I am, but I 'd love to get away for a week or two to the middle of nowhere, build a shelter, hunt or fish for food, build a fire for warmth. Go completely caveman for a while. Just forget about everything.
And after that get back to my great family and easy (to be honest) life.

Yeah I not what your saying, a while back I was in the same situation, luckily in the sapce of a week or so a lot of things took a turn for the positive and I settled down and things were all thumbs up... if that hadnt have happened though i prob wouldnt be here now though :)

people say that running away only temporarily solves things.. ule probly find yourself in a similar frame of mind no matter where you are
on the other hand i went thru a loada shit wen i was 16 and i just packed my bags and fucked off to a really really remote rural part of ireland and it was the best thing i have ever done, taught me independence and responsibility etc.
it probly depends on your situation but u could try sorting things out first like sittin down and talkin to your girl i mean if u just left without sayin anything and im sure that would devastate her, if u care for her you wont want to hurt her like that rite?
but if i was givin the chance to fuck off to another country.. well im kinda doin that in september but thats only for uni.. no i dont think i could leave my family and friends forever i would get too lonely
