One minute I want to be social and spend lots of time with my bestie and family and the next minute I only want to spend time with my bestie and then all of a sudden I don't want to spend time or be around anyone including myself. This probably makes no sense at all but I don't know exactly how to make anyone understand what I'm trying to say. Anyone have any advice or do I just need to quit whinning? Thanks.
You are very insightful about how you feel ! That's great. You've provided a clue here, and that is that "all of a sudden" you don't want to spend time or be around anyone. Something happens right at that "all of a sudden" place that makes you want to retreat. Some fear, about expectations or intimacy or something. So you protectively retreat because you are making yourself safe.

You aren't whining at all It makes perfect sense what you are saying. Do you have a therapist to help you with this?
