I wish I could run far far away

The last few months have been stressful for me for a lot of reasons I won't get into. Mostly just typical life stuff that I've felt overwhelmed with, some behavioral stuff with DD. Something happened with a family member the other day that has just added to that a million times. It effects every single aspect of mine & my kids lives and possibly involves me not seeing this family member for a very long time, if ever again all for something I feel is very selfish & stupid. Add to the fact that I can't even talk to anyone about it. DH has been very helpful and is trying to be supportive but there isn't much he can do. I don't even want to deal with any of this right now, I just want to get in the car and go go go.
On the plus side I had a race last night and although I didn't make my goal of a sub 30 5k my time was 33:06 which is technically a PR for me as far as races go Not bad for having raced twice in one week.

I'm really sorry you're having a rough patch. Hang in there. Congrats on your PR - I'm glad you can turn to running to help with the stress.

I'm sorry you are having a rough time. Have you considered talking to a professional even if for a short time to help you cope?

I am sorry you are having a rough time. Running is huge stress reliever for me, so try and stick with it as much as you can!

Thank you guys. It's times like these when I really appreciate my legs and good health. Nothing clears my head like a good run.

Sadlebred~ yes, I'm in the process of finding someone. Been playing phone tage with an office all week. Hopefully by the end of today I'll have an appt.
