Wandering around aimlessly

[BlueMist96]

Does anyone else go for long, pointless walks? Pretty much every day I just wander around, sometimes for hours, walking to the same locations I always do. It just feels like if I stay in one place for too long I'll lose my mind.

I used to drive around town and then gas got expensive. now I just go to the park and walk....get flooded with memories, think about jumping in front of the train, wish someone would just push me. sometimes I go hangout in the city where there is crime hoping someone will hurt me, often I pray for a shootout so I can stand in front of bullets....it's terrible.

I'm basically doing that right now (I'm homeless) but I plan to stop to conserve stamina as I'm also doing water fasting (vsed) until death.

Sometimes... when I manage to leave the house. But I don't have a strong will to do much of anything.

I try not to walk too far... partly for health reasons when I was weak and not sure I wouldn't pass out... but mostly because when walking all I have time to do is think... and I think about all the worst things. Walking and exercise in general serve only to focus my mind on all the problems. It's not at all relaxing for me to go for a walk even when the weather is good and there is pretty scenery to take in... it's a literal exercise in futility for me.

when i used to leave the house, lord the walks i went on.. for awhile i used pokémon go for an excuse but mania went further and i would walk all hours of the night with a bat (not to harm anyone, i liked the noise of the steel against the concrete) i was yelling from time to time.. but i was just stuck in this terrified state of someone harming me. i walked for hours on hours. aimlessly. i miss it.
not the fear but the weird freedom (obv no one bothered me)

also do not recommend.
early morning walks were my favorite tho, no bat. just me and the sunrise~

People say that going for walks clears your mind. however I go on daily walks with no phone or ear buds. just a water bottle. the worst thoughts come up . angry at coworkers and at the world. angry at people who've wronged me. I don't necessarily feel better after my walks. if anything my mind is more scrambled.

A lot of the time I walk for 1-2 hours. I live near lots of nature trails.
