Anyone else have a lot of trouble when people come to visit. Doesn’t matter if it’s family or not. I always end up retreating to my room. My brother has 3 boys under 12. My sister has two boys under 12. It gets very overwhelming with all the noise and trying to keep up with conversation.
They are all here today. I was doing pretty good up till I walked outside and my family was talking about me. I felt really uncomfortable and started to get my pre-paranoia feeling. It’s frustrating cause I love my family (although my sister complains about her life a lot, and she has a pretty good life. I always just wanna say, at least you don’t have schizophrenia…but I bite my tongue). I guess it’s just part of the disease to withdraw when there is a lot going on.
I’m the same way. My sister and nephew just visited from Arizona, and I never get to see them. But it was a struggle to be around them for too long. I need solitude at some point, otherwise I get very irritable and agitated
Yeah. I’ve been at home for 2 years now. I don’t see moving out as an option honestly. I don’t have enough money. I’m trying to sell art or music or something but it’s not really taking off
