Hey Simon

I wish I could tell you what to do to make things better. It's difficult when you want to relax by yourself in your own space but there's someone intruding on you all the time. I also need solitude to clear my head - I'm not really a people person at the moment! There are many alternative options as everyone mentioned above, but I also understand that sometimes you just need to be alone and relax and be with yourself. I don't know your circumstances, so I won't bombard you with advice. I just want to say that you are not alone in what you are going through, although it may feel like it at times. Just looking at your replies I see so many people who identify with you and are there for you. I hope that in time things will become better for you and that you can find your own space.
