((((((((((((((((((((SS)))))))))))))))))))))))
I feel for you. I go through periods of this as well. Where I just want to shelter myself from everyone and everything. For me it is almost self nurturing where others may view it as unhealthy. I tend to focus alot on myself during this time and what is going on in my own life. With the type of work I do I feel like I lose all focus on myself and end up quitting a job because I worry about hurting others. I find the way you are feeling is very "cycling"
Hope you feel better soon!
