Alone Time

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone, I've been looking at some different threads and noticing a trend

of KO's who

have concerns with being as social as other " normal " folks and other KO's who

mentioned

feeling a little nervous in close relationships--or even suffocated.

This is something that I've had to really learn to deal with since getting

married. I have a job

where I am very social--and I have a very social husband. I love my husband and

I like being

around people, but if I don't get a good ammount of time alone I just start to

feel like I'm

going to snap.

I know everyone needs to spend time alone from time to time, but I really feel

like I need that

time every day--what worries me is how I feel when I don't get it. I just feel

like pressure

builds up on me, like I can't focus and like I'm somehow loosing myself. It's

like I feel I have

to spend time alone to avoid being engulfed. And I get almost grouchy because I

feel

distracted by things I would like to think over but just don't have the time.

It worries me to feel like that. I've been working more hours lately and I just

feel like it's hard

for me to cope, because the work time seems to come directly out of my " alone

time. "
