[quote I just need a break from myself[/quote]

take one day where you do something completely out of the norm...go to the coast for the day if you live inland, visit the city if you live in the country etc, spend a day gardening or go see a film you have wanted to see, or simply put a hot water bottle in your bed, get some scented candles, a plastic glass of wine, some mini cheeses and crackers on a plastic plate and when it is dark, run a hot bubble bath, put the lighted candles on the window ledge (away from nets/curtains) take the cheese/cracker and wine with you and go have a long candle lit soak! a good magazine may help you relax too. do it just before bed, so you get out, dry off and get into your warm cosy bed, tell yourself this is ok because it is 'me time' ... everyone needs 'me time' but too often it is forgotten by other thoughts, commitments or lack of energy/inclination.
