I too have been hiding for a while. Just remember you are not alone. You have friends here. That's what helps me make it through the days.

Yep, been there, just last night: "I'm not going bible study again. Don't do that, Katherine, stay on your concrete island!" But if I am to learn....how to handle things better.....then I'm going to have to persevere. I am not super human though. I have to have support ... I need someone that is patient and gives advice...through these difficult situations I grow and I'll handle them better the each time.

I'm thinking about you and sending prayers for you.

I think it's the hibernating time of the year... I'll probably only keep one appointment this week cuz I just want to isolate.

WHY DOESN'T ANYONE UNDERSTAND THAT?!?

I'm in danger of being let go by the community mental health program I belong to b/c of non-participation... Even though I've told them a thousand times that when I isolate I am NOT doing well. They think I don't come around b/c I'm doing so well that I'm off having a jolly good time without them. Not so much... Oh BLAH!!

I hide out all week if I can. At least off and on. (More on than off). Last week was a bad week, this week is starting off promising. Who knows what tomorrow brings, but sometimes taking a few moments away from the world is the best thing you can do for yourself. Take care and best wishes.

Sometimes I wake up feeling exactly like this, for no reason what so ever. And I hate it. It makes me even more anxious and more angry and more frustrated to start my day off feeling like crap for no apparent reason. Hiding, sleeping, is always what I want to do. But that just sinks me a little lower. I am trying to avoid this method, even if it seems impossible. I wish you luck and send hugs your way. =)

I want to buy a sailboat and sail away. That is my happy place. I'm in Northern California so it would not be hard to do. If I lived in Kansas that would not work at all.

No people, just water, wind, birds, fish, and sun screen.

Listening to the wind and water come off the boat is the most relaxing thing to me. Plus did I mention no people?

Fight or flee, right? I'm a flee-er for sure.

You guys are talking my language. I only seem to find peace of mind in seclusion...doing my gardening work or yard work. I can't tell you how fed up I am with people and their vindictive ways.

Have had the same feeling lately of just staying in and letting the world do whatever! I realize though that once I am out, I feel a lot better than being home alone. I have thoughts of getting in my car and just driving - stop in an interesting area and enjoy myself for a bit then go on.

Hope your week is going well. Take good care.
