Question by Zed: Where should I go to start over? I need to leave. Please help and serious answers only. Please read?
I live in Florida currently. Where should I go to start over? I want to start over?
IVe had suicidal thoughts for a week now. I tried seeking help but I now think that it’s pointless. I just want to take my stuff up and leave to somewhere. I want to leave tonight. I think that the only way to escape these thoughts is start over. Where should I go? Has anyone done anything like this? I don’t plan on talking to anyone anymore. I want to just be alone. Please where would the best place to go be and what should I do? Please don’t say go and talk to someone because I honestly can’t be helped at this point. Please only things related to where I should go and what to do.
