Anyone else want to be alone & feeling anti-social??

[Equreuil]

I've always been a touch anti-social but it's been really bad, lately. I don't enjoy leaving the house for any reason. Work is a nightmare anymore because it requires dealing with people all the time. I don't even really like it when my husband tries to be affectionate and cuddle because I just feel crowded and suffocated.

I've felt the same. I've been so tired and felt very grotty and have a friend who has problem after problem after problem, excuse after excuse for not trying harder to make her life how she wants it, all day the phone is ringing or in my hand and sometimes I just sit there and listen to it ring, thinking maybe, just maybe if I do that more often she'll realize I need some space occassionally, then I feel like an awful friend.

Generally finding I'm struggling to listen to my friends, they start telling me about something stressful that has happened and my mind seems to shut down, I think I'm constantly taking in so much info my head literally cannot handle their problems too... They think it's pregnancy brain that I left my bank card in a machine by accident with the pin still in and got robbed of £200, that I mixed up all my appointments and turned up at all the wrong places, and that I saw a neighbour who has harrassed me everyday for a year and my brain simply denied it was him... At which point I laughed to my friend about how uncannily he looked like him only to be informed it was him. I have a different theory, my brain is shutting down on a regular basis so I simply cannot take in anymore info, or get any more stressed than I already am.

I do find myself really wanting more space these days, more space to keep building the bond I have with my 3 yr old so when baby is born he knows that mummy will be busier but still loves him, more space to co-ordinate a move that I have 6-8 weeks at most to prepare for, and just space for me in general. Sometimes I feel I don't even have space to do this >< And right now, I need space to just relax, in silence, from time to time.
