berries said it for me, I have felt and have thoughts just like you. It's VERY exhausting! Meds and therapy help alot. Just as eating well, sleeping well, excercising and taking care of myself also help very much.
If you can't be home with your family, what about planning a relaxing day somewhere you enjoy with no rush, no people around who stress you, do what you want, eat what you want, treat yourself like you would a friend who needed a day off like you do.
Maybe you could even arrange to be at a friends home when they won't be there so you can just kick back, watch TV, listen to music, talk on the phone, be totally silent, meditate, whatever.... but get yourself recharged or you will break into a million pieces, physcially and emotionally.
