Isolation

[Lookingforpeace]

Sometimes I just want to disconnect from people because it's such a risk putting yourself out there and then being hurt, especially those closest to you.

The risk is part of the reward. There is no one without the other. It’s scary as hell to put yourself out there..feeling vulnerable, so out of control..but it’s also exciting and can make you so happy if everything goes right. Ultimately what matters is not what people do to you, but how you react to what happens to you.

I really hope this helps.

For some reason my husband and kids are the source of my anxiety and depression lately. I'm trying to treat everyone with respect and be nice. When I do this it never fails one of them starts being disrespectful. Ive set boundaries and it doesn't seem to matter. This is why I want to isolate when I'm home.

I agree with you, however it is something I have been trying to work on. Due to past experiences I have issues trusting people but I have recently tried trusting people a little more while learning to ask for help with my anxiety/ panic/ depression and I'm learning that people can be trsuted. I agree it is really scary to put yourself out there, but people help us get through the pain we experience. I'm glad you are in this community to share this with us. I hope you know that you are not alone here.

Yes, that's one thing I realized, I am not alone. Thank you
