Should I cancel?

I have agreed with a friend to see her today, and stay at her place until tomorrow. However, I’ve been in kind of a funk these past few days, and I just want some peace and quiet, to be honest.

I’ve been kind of a canceller on the past, and I don’t want to disappoint her yet again, plus, I don’t know how to explain to her that I need a “mental health day”.

I don’t know what I want. On the one hand, some peace and quiet might be good, but on the other hand, stewing in self-pity alone might not be the best idea. Who knows, maybe it’ll do me good to get to be with other people for a change?

Any thoughts?

I swear sometimes the presence of a good person who is kind and non threatening can be a positive influence on your day if you feel a bit symptomatic. I would see her if you think her presence is soothing and improving you.

I tend to go ahead with meeting up with people even if I think it won’t go well. As they say in the 12 step program, ‘Try once, fail badly. Try again, fail well. Try yet again, succeed badly. Try once more, succeed well.’
