For the most part, you can’t up and leave your job, lease, and your belongings. So taking off and leaving all that you’ve worked for usually isn’t the best idea and can lead to more problems.
I find ‘small vacations’ to be the most worth it, because I have this problem very often. Take your day off and silence your phone. Do things you’ve been wanting to do but have been putting off (not errands – but something like drawing, reading a book, or going paint balling… anything like that) and just RELAX. This helps me because doing something like, for me, going shooting, is something fun and out of the ordinary when I’m feeling stir-crazy.
honestly, tonight, I did just that because I’ve been overwhelmed and depressed to the point of having anxiety attacks. What I did tonight (about three hours ago) is I took a bath. I never bathe, only shower! So, tonight I mixed things up; I put my phone on silent, and just sat in the warm water. breathing in, letting my lungs fill up with air until i’m floating in the water, and then exhaling and letting my body sink fast to the bottom of the tub. All with my eyes closed; I know it sounds strange, but I find it insanely relaxing. With your ears under the water and your eyes closed, all you can hear is your heartbeat and your breathing. It’s soothing.
