I've always had a quieter personality @tyme
Growing up I never really had friends. I was never close to anyone.
Even now I don't have any friends. If we go out with others then it is always hubby's friends.
Since my MH issues, besides hubby and professionals, I have never had someone irl ask how I am.

Actually, that was me too... withdrawn, quiet and preferred to be on my own @Snowie
I'm sure we have our own super powers 🙂

@Snowie I hope you are staying in bed feeling that it is so alright to do so when you need for self care.
Sometimes I think there is not that much that cant wait for a better day. Sometimes curled up with a book or just curled up is so okay. I hope you are alright. Hugs🤗

I can really relate to this @Snowie It was not was always like this but my close circle was tiny then gone.
My partner actually gets angry, especially when I am not doing well MH wise. I feel very lonely inside my head and I get envious of other people, try so hard not too but I can't gauge what I am like very well.
I have been out today, it all crumbled into overload, the crash after the effort. Felling lousy because I am on my own with the children and had to say I need quiet time.

Feeling lousy, not felling🫣 I don't know, two psychologist sessions this wee, one pretty full on EMDR that felt good but maybe a lot to work through. I went to the supermarket last night then visited a friend in Palliative care. I wanted to take my friend food which made me think it is frustrating that I can go out if it is for someone else who needs me, just can't seem to do that for me. A major problem with self worth😔

Ahhh, can't even get it together to type, "week". The overstimulation is all too much.

I can understand the problems with self worth @Louie333
You are not alone.
I hope today has been a little better for you
