Well I had a pretty good day, no tiggers. So any way I am watching "LOST" and my only friend calls and wants me to go with her and meet her sister and have coffee and go to this new store. And thats all fine, but I clamed up and couldnt give her an answer. It was almost like I didnt want to leave the house, or couldnt be bothered to get up early and get ready and go. I am finding that over the years I am leaving my house less. Its not like I am afraid to leave, but its nore like if I dont leave the house then I wont have to face any thing. Does that make sence? But when I finally do leave there is never any thing that sets me off, and usually I find it nice to get out. But I am looking at it like its a bother to go out tomorrow and then again of friday to do my shopping for the weekend and the company that will be here too. God....I feel like I am making no sence what so ever. I am even confusing my self I think...LMAO
Any way she is going to call me at about 730am to see if I want to go. I know when I talk to DH tonight he will tell me to go, get out, it will do you good to be with friends. But I know I will wait till she calls and either not answer the phone or give some excuse to why I can't go. Thanks for listening.
Huggs,
Jo

hi jo. you are making perfect sense. i get like that too. it's simply called isolation. and i understand it completely. my tdoc gets on me about it because it adds to my depression when i isolate.
i won't say i'd go with my friend if i were you, but if you can muster the energy to do it, your dh is right, it would be a great help to you. i know the times i've done something like that i've felt better afterward. it's just getting motivated to do it. i don't have any tricks or tips for doing that. just set your mind to it and do it.
sorry i couldn't be of more help. i'm sure you'll do what's right for you though. hang in there and keep posting.
hugs,

Jo,
I get exactly the same way as your described. The more I stay in...the harder it is for me to get out. I always feel better when I do go out, but it's just mustering up the energy to get ready and deal with people that makes it so hard. My DH is always trying to get me out of the house...if only to go get ice-cream and drive around. I do hope you're able to go, because I'm sure you will feel better.
Hugs to you,
Renee
I do the same thing too....I'm supposed to go to a baby shower Saturday, and have NO desire whatsoever to go now.
God could not be everywhere, so
Hi Jo,
Like the others, I also get the same way as you.
Hi Jo,
I know exactly how you feel. Every time I make plans to go out as the time draws near I get so anxious and think that I really don't want to go but once I go, I have a good time. I hope you can force yourself to go if that's what it takes.
Hugs,
