In hiding

I am also experiencing what Miss sunshine is. I come home from my temp job and I hide. On the weekends, I hide for like the whole weekend. It is all I can do to make it through the workday.

Sunny I can relate...

There are those of us who get their batteries recharged from being around others and those who get depleted.

Save your energy and find a better way....

Some of it applies... I'm sorry you are going through so much!

I'm sorry you're both going through this right now. I hide, for the most part, go to my appointments, make sure I see my case manager, my therapist, my pdoc & other doctors. I really like what MayB said: save your energy and find a better way than from those energy suckers! I don't know how to break the cycle, but I'm learning.

Hey TC I know how much safer it can feel in your own house believe me. But you have to find a way to get out and see the beauty the world has to offer. I hope you are able to find a better place hugs to you.

I'm in hiding at the moment. Life is too overwhelming right now and everything is a chore. I told my husband to just think of me as being in the Phosp and leave me alone. He keeps suggesting things for us to do. No way. I don't want to do anything and I don't want to go anywhere. I'm debating about living in my bed for awhile. Life is just too loud.

    I've been on high dose prednisone for pneumonia, and now I am slowly weaning. But lots of symptoms I don't like having, plus overeating has put at least 10 lbs on me. The food is "loud" as the GLP-1 users refer to it.Also pressured speech. Which comes out in my posts. Sorry I posted so much. I just need an outlet for my agitated and irritable brain. Just scroll on by my posts, if they are too...
