My greatest problem is boundries with people irl. I can do it online, but have a lot of problems with in my face ppl. I can tell you that your health and you mental health will greatly suffer if you don't do something. You can tell them you are sick, and your Dr recommends that you rest as much as possible and get rid of any extra errands that aren't for you. It works and generally people might not like it, but they accept it.

Also, if they are bugging you on the phone, don't answer. Explain that you don't always answer your phone or return your calls because the phone sometimes bothers you and you don't want the stress. If they make a further comment gently explain that you pay the bill and you own the phone, the phone does not own you.

Hugs,

Jan
