Yes, I have a similar freakishness. But to you I would say it is normal for a wife and mother. Are you good about taking time and space for you? I regularly take time to myself and I have my own office that I routinely kick people out of. it helps to dampen the desire from a roar to a buzz.

But I think your T could stand to hear a little criticism of her . . . er . . . suggestion. I might ask, I said these things, and you responded "go for a walk with H every night." I don't understand what you meant or why you thought that might help.

I will say that my T doesn't make me feel like a freak when I say these things. He says, in short, that his wife is the same way. He may have said something about introversion/extroversion, with the idea being that introverts are drained by interaction with others and need to recharge by being alone (vice versa for extraverts).
