Put yourself in this situation: you are a minor in the UK and you want to go by train. There are some tracks just a ten minute walk from your house. You have been sectioned before so people are a lot more suspicious of you. They are also suspicious of you because you ran away recently and consequently had to stay in hospital for a week.
You're extremely paranoid and that makes you feel like you can't attempt, because you feel like you would always get caught.
You live with your parents and sibling, and there is an aggressive dog in the house that might wake up and make to attack you if it were to hear you come downstairs in the early morning. But that's what you have to do - you have to get out when everyone else is asleep because you are never left in the house alone. Ever.
Even if you were to sneak downstairs early in the morning, get past the dog, climb out the window, and head to the tracks, you'd still have your thoughts to overcome.
You worry about getting to the tracks, being too scared to do it, and after standing there for an unearthly amount of time, being noticed by someone and being sectioned. You'd rather die than be sectioned.
Would you force yourself to go out when everyone's asleep, even though you don't feel ready and would have to force yourself to do it?
Or would you plan it out and set a date as you have been doing for the last year or so and just hope that this time will be the right time?
How would you get past the paranoia?
And the dog?
I thought that I'd feel scared when I ran away, but I felt free. It felt a bit surreal to see the lights of the place I was fleeing growing more and more distant. I wasn't scared when I was caught, but that was because I'd thought that I was going to drown and I'd decided that I didn't want to die in that way.
I wonder if running away to kill myself will be much different. If I am found, I wonder if I will be terrified at being locked up, or if I will be relieved to be stopped from doing it.
I want to run away again. I think that it would be cool to just leave and travel randomly and eventually die of dehydration, but that seems risky and I would not know what to do.
Would you run away and hope to die from dehydration, hoping that death comes to you, or would you run to the tracks and force yourself to end it before you risked being caught?
