Going into "recharge" mode

PurpleGaia

Hey, this is my first post here.

I am currently waiting on a possible two year waiting list to see a psychiatrist to get a formal diagnosis.

I guess this post is about relationships (Not just romantic).

My whole life I have felt that I have had to explain myself to everyone because no one seems to understand me. I go through phases where I need alone time (from everyone) and people around me seem to always take it personal. I am a natural lone wolf and I enjoy my own company. I find people can really drain me and it gets to the point where I have to "recharge" away from everyone. It'll be nice to hear from others who feel the same or who goes through these phases too.

Speak soon! Slight smile

  • Hi there. I have always found people draining - in my teenage years I was always making excuses at the last minute because I was worn out by it. Now I am 48, my life is so much quieter - helped by Covid and I get to hide from the world much more. I need my peace so I can face work and people. Without time out, I just can't function.
