I live in a house with three other people; two are 25 and a couple, myself 48, and the other 55 y.o. I lead a very structured life to keep stress a minimal as it exacerbates my symptoms if I don't. I'm an isolationist and become more so when stressed. I'm having difficulty adjusting to the two 25 y.o. since they moved in about 5-6 months ago. It seems their lives are always full of drama and is full of highs and lows (one minute they're laughing, the next they are bickering). My room is right next door so I hear most of it to no end.
I need to get away, and have even gone as far as considering hospitalization to get a break from it all but I'm not sure I currently fit the admittance criteria for such a hospitalization. I have been hospitalized in the past due to being severely ill. I'm just afraid of this simmering for a period of time which would make me more ill. Currently, I feel stuck and always on guard and don't know what to do.
