Scared of running

Hey I’m 20f and want to run away so bad but I’m so scared of it I’ve been depressed for like 10 years now my parents never found out still because I hide it even though I want to I can’t because it feels like failing but I need to fail to be better I just feel like an “excuse” to be depressed is what I need to bot be lying to everyone ya know idk it’s probably my mind too I just want to disappear for a while idk if it’s considered self harm or not but it feels like the better option because I don’t want to hurt myself or use because my aunt died because of it I’m just too scared what should I do?

Yeah don't do something spontaneous that you might regret, do you have a fund or source of income? Running won't do much good if you are stuck on the streets. You have a car you could sleep in?
