I empathize completely with your desire to be left alone. What kinds of problems are pushed onto you by others? Are the excessive demands coming from your job or from those around you? Is it a necessity that you take on the problems of others? I know that these things might be things that you are not ready to talk about yet, and no one here wants to be among those who won't leave you alone. But when you feel like it, you can post here or PM any of those among us. Caring about you ~ billieJ
