I understand what you're saying, I too have gotten those loops before. No fun.

Is there any way you could "escape" but rather than going to a friends house, go somewhere else? I kind of have the opposite problem - I don't have as many friends here. But for me there's a few places in my areas I could go to be relatively alone, and get some "me" time. Like going to Barnes and Nobles and just sitting reading a book or if I can't concentrate doing whatever. Because they don't mind. *the shop is closeby so I can walk* I know you have a car - you can say you're meeting up with your friends if your mother says anything about it, but maybe you can find a nice place nearby to call your own. Another spot for me is in a park by a river. Two parks actually. One has some nice pathways which feel a bit like woods and you can look out over river and see no buildings and stuff... only an occassional person walking their dog comes by. And the other is more of a people park - seats and benches and always someone around because it's near a train station but it's nice all the same. I haven't been to these places in a little bit but maybe I should =)

I guess what I'm saying is to try to find a spot and MAKE it your own. To get that mental relaxation you need.
