The other night i was i a bad mood and it was about midnight.. I had overheard that someone was making fun of me, and i already have anger issues, so i decided to run away. I got my purse and right when i was getting ready to open the door i just.. froze, i didnt kno what i was doing, i didnt want to run away but i felt i had to bcuz this wasnt the first time i had ever felt this depressed. But my depression had never resorted to something this drastic. I never thought i would resort to running away. I dont know what came over me that night, was it depression, or was i just really tired... Or maybe it was something else. I dont know bcuz i normally would never do something like this?

Well, I'm glad that you froze. That was your rational side taking over for you when you were experiencing this extreme stress and anger. But you stopped yourself, and that was good! If your experiencing bouts of depression, that is totally normal. We all go through these feelings from time to time. But it's when we start reacting in negative ways, or do things that we will regret later where feelings of depression become a problem. You said that you are aware of your anger issues, and that is really good to! It sounds like you are really in touch with yourself and that you know what is right and what is wrong. That says a lot about you and your character! You know what your feeling and you know when something is amiss. Now we just have to think about a few things that you can do when you start feeling compulsive or out of control, so that you do take the next step and do something that may put you in harms way, to pull you back into reality. And that would be to call a trusted friend or adult friend. Share with them what you almost did. Let them know that your having issues in these areas, and if you could call them when you feel yourself ready to do something 'out of control.' Also, journeling is helpful as well. Write down when you feel this way. Date it and describe the situation. Then when your calm, review it and think about what you did to get yourself back. You know, honestly, I think all that your feeling is appropriate. There are so many people out there that just spew out words that they don't even think about before they say them, and that unfortunately is life. But we have a choice on how we react to those bad things that people say! We can choose to take it all in and let it hurt us, or we can choose to shake our heads and think, "screw them" and forget it! It's all about our choice in how we react to bad things. We all have so much power, it's just sitting there waiting for us to use it! Use your power! You already have, girl! Just keep strong and buckle down. Focus on your inner strength and feed it. Your a good person just keep yourself on track.....

Having no where to go and wanting somewhere TO go is something I think we all go through. You are not crazy, your adrenaline was probably pumping and you needed to expell it.
Walking is always good but be careful, strangers are not always kind and may find you vulnerable and easy to sway.
I ran away once when I was 15 and it was not a very pleasant experience. I guess after all the drama, all I really wanted was for someone to hear me out and then let me cry on their shoulder. Turn to God, you can tell him anything.
He must have heard something you asked for because you arrived home safe and unharmed.
Take Care

It is easy to advise you not to run but it isn't so easy to follow advice. I have been through the same thing. Realise that these people who make fun of you have low self esteem and so they try to bring you down to their level by making you react to their insults. If they are your parents and you are a minor, then you have to put up with it until you can leave home. If not then you need to find somewhere else to live or find a passion that gets you out of the house.

Get help. I work for an apartment complex and recently a resident (a guy upstairs) had some anger issues and was going through depression and his downstairs neighbor was having a party and the depressed guy thought they were talking about him and started a fight and then killed a guest of the party and then himself. No1 ever saw it coming....he just snaped.

If you run now, you will always run. What you need to do is this: Take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror and acknowledge that your are who you and you can change if you want to and you will when you're ready.
Do you like yourself? if you don't than do something about it.

Sounds like you had more stress than you could deal with. Being overwhelmed by stress can make a person do some strange things. And being tired definitely makes it worse!

running away is the least troublesome way to deal with it
