just understand that you cant walk away from youself. also you should really post this on /adv/

A tent and a backpack and a lighter or matches food sleeping bag. I think you should do it. You sound absolutely miserable and in need of a change of pace. You can also hitchhiker if your polite.

Had an uncle in a similar situation and did the same thing. Lasted about 4 hours on a trail before pussing out and returning to his mother's. It could be a good idea for you but might not either. Sounds like you need counseling more than anything.

Try it out for a day first. Then try it for 2 straight days. Then go for a week and come back. If you like it, leave forever. It's best to do this in a vehicle of some sort. Even a bicycle with a trailer is better than a pack.

Its essential for you to plan my friend! Set up this escape... i realize your situation is tough, but if i were you would try and graduate college; however, if not go for it. Make sure you plan it out bud....this is critical.

If you have no options sounds like an all right idea, could be fun. I would recommend doing many practice journeys first though, just going to nearby country side or parks etc and practicing things like setting up a tent, making a fire, tying knots etc. You could even make surviving outdoors a hobby of yours then go off on a big year long trip or something. I am worried if you are doing it outta london though, what if you just end up hopeless? Shit would be rough dawg, make sure you hug your mum goodbye before you go off on a big trip.

Cant you claim unemployment and atleast save up some chump change before doing it? might wana keep a spare few hundred quid in case you dont feel like sleeping outside, book a hostel or something.

I would suggest to just go out for a day and go for a hike or something.
Ultimately you actually do need counseling, because you're not doing yourself any favors by trying to "escape" from your problems by being a hobo in the next town over.

This is the best advice. Alcoholism and depression are serious illnesses like any other serious illness; they need expert treatment. You can't just walk away from alcoholism or depression anymore than you can just walk away from tonsillitis. Get professional treatment and rely on your family for support, even if it's sometimes going to be stressful as fuck and you want to just go live /innawoods/. Traveling will be an awesome goal once your conditions are under some kind of control. /trv/ can help plan any kind of trip you can think of, when you're healthy enough to enjoy it.

I hope you'll find your way OP, I wish you the best. :)
