Today there is a stranger in the house so I am back to my room.

I am trying to expand the zone in my room by finding new ways to express myself in my journals. "Thinking out side of the box" is very literal for me right now.
I feel for you! I have been "stuck in my room" at times too. We moved into a new house about 18 months ago...I didn't expect it to be so difficult. I've been going to therapy for about 6 months now. This month in particular I have been noticing that I am around and about the house more. I still am more comfortable in my room but I am able to tolerate being around family in the living/kitchen area much better. It's been kind of nice
Thanks for this!
