Have you ever wanted to disappear/start a new life in a different country?

[WitheringAway]

I've been having this fantasy about disappearing and walking away from everyone and everything I've ever known here. I want a clean slate. New start. New chapter. New life. Different country. New house, new car. Different degree. Different job. New friends. (New family lol). New look; different hairstyle/color. I'm not happy about anything I have in my life. I want new and different everything. Have you ever felt the same? What would you like to change about your life?

I would want same

 

[SleepDealer]

Yes, I want to change absolutely everything. Trouble is, I don't know where to go and some things I want to change just aren't possible. I still get the urge though, I like to research how people make themselves "disappear" just for the fun of it. I've also thought about running off to live in the woods.

Yes, i wish i could have the courage one day to leave everything behind and just disappear, move to a different country far from all the bullshit I'm living and just erase all my memories about my current life. I dream about this often but i realize it is not possible…so I am just staying here..trapped.

I have thought about it, and I think maybe a change of scenery could help, as there is nothing I like about my current life, but even if I did that, I will still be me. That is where the problem lies. I cannot leave behind myself. I also think no matter what I will still not want to live. At this point nothing can change that. I do want to disappear, but literally disappear and not exist anymore.

I fantasize about it often, running away from home and start fresh with a new identity that can't be traced back, building a life I'd be comfortable with, in a nice place, without the pressure or expectations from others.
But knowing myself I'd probably fuck it up if I tried it. I can't even take care of myself properly.
Besides, there's no guarantee everything will go or change as I wish to. Gotta agree with FuneralCry, I couldn't leave myself behind either, I'd probably still wish to disappear/not exist anyway, that's just been wired to my mind for so long I see it as almost impossible to dettach myself from it.
No amount of disappearances will ever take away my deppresion or anxiety, none will cease my desires to end my existence.​

 

[RazzleDazzle]

I've got a stalker and I've thought about doing this, but he's pretty obsessive and I don't think that it would actually work. CTB instead.

 

[Fragile]

I'd love to do that if I could

My country is beautiful, with plenty of amenities and great people, also cheap drugs.
But it's also extremely violent, corrupt, and one piece of shit terrorist is currently destroying it with even more violence and division. There's a good chance that this place will turn into yet another failed socialist state in an even worse fashion than venezuela, and I don't think I'm exaggerating, at all.

However, I can't run away and live a better life somewhere else. I'm disabled, chronically ill and unable to live a normal life. living somewhere else won't change any of that, so this is yet another impossible dream for me.

I have done all that except the new country part. I just abandoned everything and started over about 3000 miles away. It sounds dramatic but I sometimes tell people that I don't feel like I was alive or real until 2019, like I was born when I started over and left the past behind. It's one thing that does cheer me up, is no matter how miserable and suicidal I get right now, it isn't like the hell I left behind.

I think it would be nice to start entirely over again someday, if I could get Canadian citizenship or something but that is highly unlikely.

What would you like to change about your life?

Nothing, it's really wonderful. I enjoy every second. #Blessed

I may have an opportunity to do this in the making, moving to a different continent (again) and starting a business there. It might be more motivating to put in some creative effort for my own sake rather than being a consultant who is all about kissing up to bumbling clowns and putting out their fires.

 

[deflationary]

Never. It seems like it would just make life more difficult, learning a whole new social system and language and whatever. Besides, what does it matter when I'm just gonna hide away from people and experiences anyway. I've got a good enough hiding spot already.

Yes
