Right now in my life, and not just at this moment, I am positively enjoying my quiet time alone. Too many distractions in one day causes me to panic (and have panic attacks), become grumpy/angry, and completely exhausted.

So, when too many phone calls are coming, I turn off the ringer and let the answering machine get it. If people are knocking on my door, I hang a do not disturb sign up. If the neighborhood is too loud, I put in my earplugs. I take steps to limit those things that are too much for me at the moment.

As for the being alone, I am using this time constructively to do things that I always wanted to do but never had the opportunity to do because of being too busy with other things. I have found projects that I do that have a result to be more awarding. Bake...I have yummy food to enjoy. Crochet...I have things for myself and to give as gifts to others (which is self-satisfying for me). I do things like Sudoku puzzles to take my mind off of other things to (but this one is also stimulating/challenging your mind).

I am sort of finding myself during this time. I do hope that you look into constructive hobbies for yourself as well. They help to relax my poor busy mind.
