Hi, Youngmother I have a daughter who has BP and it is a BIG thing her wanting to run away thinking that it will make things better. And I have read on this board that it is common to feel that way. But it is hurtful to the ones you love when you do this so it is important for you to figure out an alternative way to deal with what is going on.

It took me some time to come to the realization that when I want to help fix things for my daughter and become too involved it really makes things worse. And so together we have come to the agreement that when she needs some alone time that we allow her to have it. And when we do she is able to come back and talk about what is going on but at her own time and her own pace. So perhaps you need to establish that with your husband, that you KNOW that he loves and cares about you but when you say you need some time and space that he needs to give that to you. Reassure him that you will come to him when you are ready but that his not respecting that makes you feel even worse to the point of wanting to get away.

I hope this helps...I think that you need to know that this is not an uncommon feeling and that sometimes when loved ones only are meaning well they could actually be making things worse.

I hope that things get better....if they don't perhaps a call to your tdoc or pdoc may be warranted to perhaps tweak your meds a little bit. It is crucial that you take care of it within a few days before things start spiraling downward and get harder to fix.

Good luck and do keep us posted with how things are going.
