My repetitive thought: "I wanna go home."

Post Reply New Topic

yeah, I think that a lot. even at this house i've lived in for more than 15 years. I just don't know where this place is. I began to make up things just have something to put in that place because it was becoming too painful to keep wanting something or somewhere I don't even know where is. and like someone else said, its not just a want of familiarity in a sort of idea sense - its wanting physical objects- "my chair" "my desk" "my table" etc. And I have things like this, they just aren't the right ones.
"home-sick"

at some point i tried to invent things so that this experience would be a little more tangible. so I'd imagine i had a house in the sky, because i often space out (under stress - like in classes) and feel like i'm rising into the sky and that I will rise up and be at the door/porch/front yard of my home. the other thing i've imagined to even greater detail is that I am from elsewhere in the universe, but that is very common.

Interesting, I have something like this. Between one and two years ago I started a nation on nationstates.net, and I suppose I thought a lot about it, because for some reason ever since then whenever I am trying to recall something, (etc), I think the word "nationstates", as though it is the dominant thought in my mind, even when it has nothing to do with the current topic of interest. Its extremely strange and quite annoying. It sounds as though you are describing something similar, however in your case I think it is a more normal "phrase".

I say this too, but it has nothing to do with my physical house. And it happens when I'm even subtly distressed - usually about some sort of social convention that I bungled. It's a sad, desperate feeling that started when I was maybe 6 or so. It feels like I mean the place I was in before I was born. Sometimes I've had flashes of it and I know it's home. Now enlightenment is the home I want to get to. My pursuit of it has largely subdued the desire to return "home".

Mine's a... bit different.

I find myself saying the same thing, but it doesn't get anywhere - I don't feel "home" when I'm at home. It's not like there's any real abusive problems at home, but I just don't really feel the best there. Back to the whole belonging somewhere else thing. I don't feel like I belong in my home that much since I tend to differ from my parents and family a lot, in terms of generally everything. (I'm pretty much the first person in our entire family line that has a leaning towards the arts and doesn't care for military stuff, for example) Then I don't really belong anywhere else. Literally, like I should be on a different world... almost. xD

I don't really say it out loud, I'm not comfortable vocalizing such things, but it's something that's all over my confused mind.

I have always felt this way. And sometimes I feel this way even when I'm at one of my parents house. So they just thought I meant the other parent's house. But it has always been pretty chaotic for me to say such a thing, and so I had to learn to stop saying it.

there is no home, so i know exactly what you mean.
