depressed or normal
im looking for advice. i have a trip with friends coming up. but in all honestly, i don’t feel like going. I got back from a trip with a different friend a few months ago that kind of made me feel like i just can’t spend an extensive amount of time with friends especially an overnight trip. i felt anxious and stressed for the most part and just couldn’t wait to be by myself at home. the trip should’ve been fun but i think im overly sensitive to all the stimulation of traveling and being around someone who isnt family for more than 24 hours. i also am kind of a recluse now cuz i work remotely and basically have zero social life except for these kind of invites. i find that i get overwhelmed and in efforts to be normal i put myself through this survival mode persona. even if im uncomfortable i push through it because i just want to get home with least mental physical damage as possible and i dont open up to my friends abput this cuz i dont want to make it about me. sometimes i feel like i should just suck it up when my whole body is screaming for me to say no. i keep telling myself that i meed to recover amd have downtime but it’s been months and i still feel like no is the only respomse i want to give to any socializing invitation.
Agree with other post....just get ahold of the person who handles the trip itinerary/and or money person and say you are backing out. It's simple. If they ask why just say you need down time and this trip isn't what you want right now. Do you if you feel you really want to back out. It's ok to change your mind :) reply
