So my husband and one of his grown kids had a little argument over politics on facebook. No big deal, who gives an actual fu*k. But now they are extending the olive branch and have invited us over for dinner. I think they want to smooth things over. Totally not necessary. I guess I should be grateful or thankful but I’m such an introvert right now all I am is just totally annoyed by the fact that I have to leave my house. AND I already had to leave my house once today. AND I don’t feel like eating. AND they want us there at 7 which is a really late dinner. AND my bedtime is 8. So the whole thing just sucks. Am I a horrible person for thinking this way? Why can’t I just be happy to spend time with the family like a normal person? Sigh. Somebody shoot me. Maybe I can get an ice cream after for having to endure this.
They say mental illness is the “me disease”. It’s all about ourselves and we can’t let go and enjoy others. I don’t know why, are we afraid we’ll wet our pants? But you’re so concerned about yourself that, of course you wouldn’t have any fun. If I had a solution, I wouldn’t be on this forum to begin with. All I can do is wish you the best. 
I’m sorry @Leaf. Sometimes it’s hard to enjoy things but it’s okay. It’s stressful for sure. Maybe you’ll feel better when you get there. That would be nice. I hope you feel better when you get there.
Could you ask them to have dinner earlier? I’ve had to get used to making sure my friends know I need to eat around 6 when we hang out, because I need to take my meds with food. I bet they could have dinner slightly earlier and then you could keep your 8 PM bedtime.
Thanks, I actually did have a pretty ok time. It was only awkward occasionally, which is good for me. I think everyone else enjoyed themselves equally and we were all in the same boat really.
I guess bedtime is going to be more like 10 tonight
Nice! I’m glad your time was okay.
