Hi Erinbear,
I've been there too.
I think it's neccessary to withdraw sometimes to recover.
The last thing you probably need right now is somebody not getting what you're going through after you've tried to explain it to them.
I get that sometimes or they don't take it seriously or say you're being a baby and feeling sorry for yourself and then you get into a fight with them so that only adds on to what you're already feeling blecky about.
Yeah, go into your hidey hole (that's a funny name) and recooperate. Baby yourself with lots of cuddly blankets, a smelly good candle, a teddy bear and/or pet and then let yourself have a good pity party session.

I hope you're feeling better soon.
