i wouldn't walk all that way, it's dangerous surely.

Is there nobody at all who you know who could either sort out a lift (or several from others) for you, or loan you the fare to get there?

Have you priced up how much it would be by either coach or train?

Hope you get yourself sorted, but whatever way you go about getting there, BE CAREFUL! xxx

Having had a quick look at some of your other posts/threads I gather there is a reason why you were asked to leave the convent and the prioress has advised you to have some time out.
Where would you be planning to sleep while you are on this walk? Would you be paying to sleep in hotels? If that is the case, surely you would be better (and quicker) to use public transport instead and be there in a few hours instead.
I would presume you weren't planning on not sleeping during this walk or sleeping rough in December.
Maybe if you are so desperate to return she would be more open to having a call or letter from you explaining that rather than walking for a week to see her. To me it seems that that may just backire on you and make her question your emotional readiness to return.

money is seriously tight. I also want them to know I really mean it.

I'm sure they wouldn't want you to risk your safety just to show that you mean it.

Could you not give them a ring tomorrow and explain how desperate you are to go back?

Please don't walk there (or hitchhike), it's very cold, dark nights, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who would worry for your safety.

FInd a local organisation, similar, that you can go and talk to. Just talking to people that understand your situation will help you get things into perspective and make organised decisions.

I'm sure there's a convent more local to you that would give you refuge and allow you a breathing space in which to find peace.

Are you talking about Quidenham in Norfolk, if so thats the next village to me, if i can be of any help please pm me......

honey, a five or whatever day walk doesn't say "I mean it." It says

"here is a woman so emotionally dependant on this environment she is acting crazy.

clearly we are doing her no favours in building her coping skills by putting her back in the same environment.

there is no way she is ready to come back."

I'm sorry, but to me, your plan would totally backfire. I may be wrong, but you'd freak me out, and make me concerned for your mental health. For which counselling, and maybe hospital, would be the answer, not a convent.

They have sent you out for a reason. Try and fulfil it.

Huge hugs, I hope you find something else to focus on soon.
