<div class="IPBDescription">%^%^%</div> erm yeah... i got little to no £££

but like.. i need to get away to think...

i have no motorbike anymore.. cos my best friend crashed it into a wall at 140 mph. as a suicide act for letting his gf come off his bike, killing my other best friend.

i finished my relationship aswell. i couldnt handle the distance, and some other things which i have discussed with you guys in the past...

in short.. i need to break out... im going mad.. i used to be able to get my hands on a bike.. but now.. i cant cos its all bad and my contacts are dead.

    Go back packing mate, I know it sounds qliche but it a really inexpensive way to get around and see stuff. If you travel around Europe you don't need a work permit (you live in the UK yeh?) so you can get a job anywhere just with your passport and stuff. Back packing hostels are dead cheap and it's a good way to meet new people and kinda forget about home. Look in to it properly as I don't know the details but I can say for sure the most expensive part is the journey to your first destination which if you fly Ryan Air will be really cheap anyways.

    Hope this has intrested you and maby given you another option, but seriously mate getting away for a few months does WONDERS for your mental state trust me.

    PM me if you wanna talk about this <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I agree with DuBERS. The first step is to pack a backpack. Then walk out the front door. From the front door walk to the pavement, footpath or what ever you dudes call that space you walk on.

    Take a coin, make sure it has a head and a tail. Heads you go left, tails you go right. Hopefully you aren't on a corner or one of them puts you in front of traffic.

    Walk to a sign post that tells you there are places out there somewhere in some directions. Heads or tail it and use that to get away.

    I did it once and ended up it the most amazing places. I hitched a lift regularly when large spaces stretched before me, the most important part is try to enjoy yourself or at least look at the world. Not just open eyes look but a real look that sees the beauty in the flower, the sunset, the lad or lass that went by. The flash car, or whatever is around you. There is beauty everywhere, look and you will see it.

    Take your time, that to me now is very important.

    A friend came up with this twist, when you get to a new town, look at a newspaper or book for a topic, go to the library and read a little or a lot up to you, then when you hitch again, if you do (here in Australia we have long distances sometimes between towns), so you steer the discussion to the new topic.

    Amazing what you learn and the knowledge you gain. I hope this is some help.

    that seems to be the way to go, be sure to keep a cell phone or some emergency money so you can cover your back

    One word: Interrail.
    200 quid should buy you at least one month on pretty much any train crossing Western Europe. Add to this the 'jobbing' option, and you should be able to get out and your head free. Good luck on both.

    sorry to hear about the hard time friend, hope whatever method you choose for taking a break works. And remember, there is almost always someone willing to buy you a drink, or 10, you just have to listen to whatever it is they have to say, which can in turn be a nice break from your own thoughts. Feel free to PM me if ya need to talk/vent Moq, good luck

    I agree with backpacking.

    But no matter what you do, I'll be praying for you man. Sounds like you've had it rough. Good luck, Godspeed, and let the angels themselves protect you.

    edit: And by the way: If your used to your comforts, then the backpacking is perfect: You'll lose that "I need a bed" thing, and learn what living simply and complexly is all about. And as I said before: I'll be praying for you no matter what man.

    With what he is going through he will just shoot himself when he gets the chance.

    Everybody has different approaches with this kind of chet. Usually music does it for me or blowing some heads off in Ns or hoppin in my car and street racing.

    Maybe to others. Death is pretty much meaningless to me. I ignore it and go on.

    somewhat hidden secret of the smart backpacker: when ever you come across a city with a sikh temple, stop by, they give you free food and let you sleep on the floor (nice floors, designed for prolonged sitting) for like 3 days no questions asked.

    Yeah I really don't understand this. These forums tended to be very respectful when someone would post something personal, and I got the sense that we really helped a few people. Now we're seeing "owned" and "Merry Christmas". That is just flat out inappropriate. Learn some respect or dont bother to post.

    I'd say try something like the Territorial Army.

    Its like being a "Part-Time" Soldier! And the entry requirements are a little more relaxed AFAIK.
