Does anyone else feel that they can pretend like they're normal for a short amount of time (and actually cope quite well like a regular person in the outside world) but after a couple of weeks the effort is too much and you crash and burn out and cant "be normal" anymore?
I’m going to guess that most people on this forum feel that way.
I thought they might. I just wondered if the ability to pretend to be normal, or even to actually "feel" normal" for a while was a common thing or just me. I can feel like that for a while and then I crash terribly and just go back to being myself
I was at Mass, this evening, but in a wee world of my own mentally.
Plus, our new Priest takes forever, and is ritualistic. An entire lifetime of, me, being forced to take my time.
I generally crash at weekends. Sometimes if I have to spend the day around people at work or an event I will crash half way through. So many times I’ve retreated to the toilets to recover and regroup.
