need to be alone but can't, ideas to cope please.

Post Reply New Topic

I live with hubby and my adult son has been here a lot lately due to his own problems.

I am so on edge with the need to be alone for a few days, not just a few hours. The anxiety this causes is too much to handle.

I have my own room but it's not quiet enough, even with the fan on, that winds up bothering me too.

Does anyone have any coping skill ideas?"

I'm lucky that my special interest is the way I earn a living but I do it all here. I've tried staying up later, getting up earlier and I still feel dread as soon as I hear another person.

It's wierd cause I have dogs and don't feel that way abt them. Right now I really wish that I had my own house.

Hubby sorta gets it but not really and says he gets it but doesn't act like it, and my son is in the middle of his own problems so he is wrapped up in that right now.

I have to live with family right now, and I have the same problem. I go to the library for hours, or take my books and laptop and sit in my car for hours.

im like that alot i always close myself away from people i like to be on my own its easyer in many ways. how about doing some sort of activity out the house i sometimes go cycleing into the woods when i feel like escapeing from the world

yes, my car is my second home these days.

i also find my truck as a get away....

some nice headphones can help....block out the noise at least.

I use some seinheiser rap around head phones that keep the sound out well...

koss is also a decent brand...don't have to spend a ton....around $20 for a good pair.
