I'm sorry to hear you're going through a shit bit. There's only so much any of us can handle at one time and sometimes hibernation is essential — bears hibernate from 2-7 months which sounds completely reasonable to me.
So from a random stranger on the internet: do what you need to and be kind to yourself! Can't wait to read what you write once you're feeling up to it again.
Omg Reannon, we are cut from the same cloth! I relate so much. Whenever I am going through a rough time I withdraw from everything too. I don’t think it makes you selfish or a brat though. You just need to do whatever you need to do to get through. Thinking of you and sending you love and good vibes through this wobbly patch. I hope you have a lovely time away and comeback feeling restored. ❤️
I understand. This makes total sense to me. I’ve needed to put everything else on the back burner before, to save my energy for myself and my family. I’m a fan of hibernating til I have the bandwidth to deal with others.
Take care of yourself my friend, and enjoy the break you so deserve xx
Sending some extra love your way! I can very much resonate with what you shared as a few days ago, I realized that I don't have a lot of mental or physical capacity to hear about all the good news from others at the moment. In small doses, maaaaaybe. But not when it's thrown at me like a waterfall and I feel I'm drowning in the feelings I'm still navigating through. I have my people that I can talk to and be my complete self with and I know I will be back to my usual self. But for now, the focus is on getting back on track for myself again. I hope you're having a beautiful time away and I'm looking forward to read more of you when you get back! ✨🍵✨
I do this too. Regardless of whether its the right thing or not but I cannot people, I cannot small talk, I cannot be a good friend, I cannot be a good listener, I cannot be in a group of people, I cannot take on anything else bar the routine of my household and kids. Everything else is just not in my line of vision.
I have just spent the whole weekend avoiding all human contact bar my children and didnt leave the house other than to go get some groceries. I struggled doing that and didnt make eye contact with a soul.
Maybe we do this to protect ourselves, maybe we need the solitude and peace of just that everyday grind only.
So from one retreating person to another - feeling you and sending love from deep in the trenches x

take care my friend,
whatever gets you through, and friends who can't or don't accept that aren't true friends.
we all only have so much bandwidth, sounds like right now you need to use all yours to keep afloat,
