Rainy Days

Post Reply New Topic

The last two days were rainy and cold here. Wife and kids were home and I work outside so I was home too. Winter is always like this. I feel like I can't relax and enjoy their company. I end up pacing back and forth around the house, eventually going for walks to decompress. I really just want to ball up and be by myself all day reading a book or playing a game. I tried organizing different spaces or cleaning. Just generally felt frustrated and torn between wanting to connect but not being able to. I tried reading to them and playing some board games but I just feel like a mental implosion is imminent and I cant relax.

Any tricks? I've been trying meditation and breathing and it seems to be helping a little bit.

I wish it could rain where I am. It can warm up after that.
