Wanting to be alone, anyone feeling this?

For the last two weeks i have become more and more wanting to be alone! I am increasingly more tired and irritable with life. I spend days in bed, yet weeks before that i was quite on top of things. Do others go through these moments, of madness! Because that is what it feels like. My ears are driving me mad again itching. Does the weather effect us?

I do feel that way from time to time but I never spend time in bed, I refuse to allow it to do that to me ever. If I want some alone time I go and have a long soak, and if the water goes too cool I empty some out and heat it up again. I can spend up to 2 hours in the bath sometimes twice a day. I may get out like a prune but it helps me. I hope you feel better soon and are more up to having company xxxx

Thank you for your kind replies and i know its a passing moment. But having people out there who knows what i am feeling is a comfort.

I don't normally take to bed, but i am in poor accommodation at the mo and it as no heating and no one seems to understand how it makes me feel. O well another day of a false smile so no one thinks i am a moaner lol. This place helps, because your with people who know, i love my family and friends but i tend to not be truthful about how ill i really do feel some days, so finding this site helps me realize i aint alone and i won't be judged. Thank you all. xx

Hi demdike

Yeah do not feel alone, it is apart of it all and i too get like this as i have a busy life and so much to contend with and as this weather has been here so icy cold it is having such an effect.

hopefully it will ease off for you and you will get alittle more in control soon.

we are all here to listen to you and a shoulder if you want to talk about anything xxxxxhuggles soft fluffy ones

Hi demdike your not alone in feeling this way it goes with the fibro I have been sat happily talking one minute and then feeling like crap the next and having to crawl off to bed some days I will be ok after a few hours sleep yet other times I have been known to be in bed a couple of days. I try not to stay in bed as I believe it makes me worse. You will always find a listening ear in here as well as a few itchy ones, a friend told me to try piriton it;s an antihistamine you can get from any chemist it works for me, but always check with your doctor or chemist in case it reacts with anything else you take.

Take care God bless Bob

Thank you for that advice i will check with doctor. It is so annoying when it happens, the itching, my whole head itches sometimes i swear people think i got nits lol. But thank you for your support, it is nice to know i am not alone. I try real hard not to let it get to me and not let it effect other people so i retire to bed or stay confined to my house so people don't think i am a grump or moaner. I have forced myself out of doors today, the dog is thankful!

Have a lovely christmas Gaynax

Hi Demdike

Yes I have been feeling like this the past 4/5 wks but have put it down to my mental health problem.

As someone else has mentioned, I too seem to be having a very low tolerence of noise. I cant even bare the tv on.

3 days of the week I help look after my disabled brother & he constantly has sports tv on. It drives me nuts.

I hope you feel better soon.

Hugs

Jackie

Thank you both. I just hate the low feelings! Now i have to fill in medical form, sometimes i feel u have to beg for everything. I swear they think its all in our heads, just one day i would like them so called medical advisers to feel what we feel. How can they know if they have never suffered with fibro. They should give someone who as it a job to access and as empathy. I see a lot on here have had to appeal as if life for us isn't hard enough. They took my car now i don't go anywhere. Anyway i will get filling the form in lol.

Hi, you are feeling just the same as me at the moment! I haven't left the house for 2 weeks. I overdid it by going Christmas shopping alone on a Monday and I struggled to carry the bags and had to ring my husband to pick me up. Ever since I have been in agony with pain all over, so tired that I have just slept the days away and freezing cold. This illness gets me down so much and gets me so frustrated when people tell me to just work through it!!! I just physically can't. Climbing the stairs is so hard at the moment that I've been sleeping on the sofa. People wonder why we get irritable ?? If they had it for a day maybe they would understand more!
