About an hour ago I came in from work. I was really "revved up" by the day and felt good about what I had done.
I 'lost it' though when it came time to transition back to the sedentary and solitary life of being back in the house - does anyone every experience this? Like it comes either crashing down on them or they just want to shut it all out?

I struggle at times with transitions and today I did. I ended up crawling into bed and taking a nap. It calmed me down I guess but also made me realize my struggle (just in a new way) and I was bummed. I just wondered if this happens to anyone else? And what if anything you do to deal with transition. I tried my usual stuff online or reading or even tv and it didn't work - that 's when I took a nap.

Thanks and I hope the day finds you well!

This happens to me very frequently. I just want to crawl in a hole and die right after being high as a kite. All I can do is take a Klonopin and hug my kitties and my husband if he's around. It's hard to go through this and I hope you find something to help you with the low times.

Painting, drawing, writing, walking/hiking, volunteering, playing instruments, photography, cooking...well pretty much any hobby works for me! Whatever you've had an interest in but never learned to do is a good one :) If you like something that is club-worthy you can even meet other people...

I suppose it's like coming home to an empty house have had that a few times tend to be recluse so like my own space most times. Tend to be a home body so that may be part of the problem for you. Just a thought.

H is right ....
thats it Mark.... create a routine that you always do... to keep you engaged in a life style ... get creative ...like for example...take a shower and get all clean when you get home... feel all refreshed ...and then relax...do this every day when you come home... establish a routine ...thats the answer

Thanks Marie and thanks again everyone. Just today before I came home I was filled a sense of joy and for some reason I couldn't see the same consolations that I found in my usual activities. But now that time has passed, I have calmed down a bit and am back to "normal" (hehe).
I have a set of routine acitivities that I got back into and all's well. Thanks for being there.
