Just stayed home... it felt great!

So there was this Christmas Party at my church... I didn't go, even though my wife wanted me to go... I stayed home instead and cleaned the house and got some more Christmas lights and decorations up. As much as I felt bad for not spending time with my family, it sure felt great to take some quality me time and to be well.

Dahveed323, Taking "me" time is not a Luxury but a Necessity with those of us who have anxiety issues. No reason to feel bad. Your wife will be happy with a clean house and the lights you put up. Good for you :)

That is a nice feeling and also very nice that you did something to please yourself. Some Christmas parties are actually not that much fun.

Good for you Davheed323. Having time on your own sometimes is good for the mind, especially when you find something constructive to do! Hugs Gail x
