Anxiety creeping back

I had about 7 days of peace without our house guest staying. She was at her stepmoms and i was oh so happy. Well as happy as i can get. I was able to have peace and quiet during the day and privacy. I didn't have to talk to anyone, I didn't have to worry about someone seeing what i was doing on the computer or listening to me talk on the phone. I could watch tv in peace. I didn't have any panic attacks. I still couldn't sleep well, but my anxiety lessened. Well she called and wanted to come back for Thanksgiving. We are not even doing anything. I'm not cooking because I don't feel well enough to stand up in the kitchen for hours cooking. We are going to go out. Now it will be 3 of us instead of just me and my bf. She is going to come in and ask if i missed her like she did the last time she was gone. I want to say, actually i like having my space. But i won't. I'm not like that. My bf still just can't understand why i am like i am. I just downloaded a bunch of articles for him to read about introverts. Not that it will change him, or change the situation. Just so he can see that this is who i am i am not going to change. Trying to change me and invading my space is just causing me to have more anxiety and its making me more depressed.

((((((((((((((anjelmarie))))))))))) I'm glad you've had a week of peace, but I'm really sorry your BF's niece can't stay longer at her step mom's. And it's a shame that she will be tagging along with you and your BF when you guys go out tomorrow because that would have been a good opportunity for you both to have had some nice "couple's time" together. I do wish your BF "got it".

I'm thinking of you and hoping very much that you can experience some more peaceful times

I know exactly how you are feeling. To be honest I would I think say very honestly that I needed some space and privacy and I would like to spend thanksgiving with just my bf.

It's really good of you to help someone in a state of homelessness but surely she understands that there are limits to how long someone can stay with others before they should really get their own place?

I really hope you can feel the courage and self care to eventually tell her how you are feeling and that she responds positively.

Well she didn't end up coming but I still ended up pissed off anyway. I'm going to post about it in Relationships, I feel I shouldn't be taking up space in anxiety forum complaining about this issue.
