Wanting to escape

Here I am at that place of one way or another.  I feel as lost as I just was walking in the woods.  It is the place of wanting to give up, to go out and eat some ice cream or to have a drink or whatever else I may do to leave my own body.  This is the thing though, my body is hurting and I need to take care of it.  I have had a pretty consistent pain in my gut all day today (for weeks actually).  I started to worry about it.  I got into a place of fear around it.  I have gastro reflux disease.  It means that the acid in my stomach comes back up.  It causes a lot of pain and guess what helps it?  Eating better, losing weight, exercising.  What a frickin surprise hey?  Well, there it is.
I just walked for an hour and a half in the woods.  It got dark along the way.  I was lighting my way with my iphone, but it died and then I was on this path in the woods in the pitch black of night.  I started hearing animals and even got to the point of making up an animal or two in my imagination.  As I walked, the path seemed to get narrower and narrower, branches hit my face increasing my fear level  even more.  I saw a blue light moving along the path ahead of me.  The unknown of it made me cringe, but instead of turning around or running up the side of the hill on my right I just kept going.  I made up my mind that whoever had the light was a good guy and it was going to be alright.
I said "hello" and a male voice said, "you scared us".  "You scared me too", I replied.  I told them that my light died and I was hoping that I was heading in the right direction.
"you are almost there", the voice said.
I am almost there.  I just need to stay on the path.
