Well, I'm up here once again visiting my parents. My mom and I went out this morning and went to breakfast then spent like 5 hours shopping. For that 5 hours, I managed to be positive and pleasant and talk to people and fight all my social anxiety, etc.
But at a certain point I started to fade. At about 1pm I told my mom I was starting to burn out. She was too so we finished shopping and headed home. Thing is, we planned to go to dinner tonight and now I have two problems. I'm not actually hungry (we're at the restaurant now) and I have like no energy and no feeling to be sociable. I'm trying to stay positive and not let my social anxiety get the best of me. I know visiting here, even though I enjoy it, it also makes me super depressed. Blah, I'm just struggling to keep to my positive attitude I've had the past week and feel good about myself and not be super judgmental. Seesaw

Hang in there. Visiting family could be overwhelming. I have to say that going out for breakfast, 5 hours of shopping and going out to dinner is more than I can handle. All in one day? It’s exhausting. I am not surprised you are tired.

Hey, I'd say you are doing well--pacing yourself.
I hate shopping--so 5 hours of it would definitely leave me too tired to chew. I hope you get to recharge your batteries. Sounds like you are doing it! yah!

 I'm glad things went well. It's understandable you'd feel tired, 5 hours is too much.

I have to say that after writing this I just reminded myself to do what I needed to do to care for myself and strangely I found that no one minded. Like I ordered what I wanted at dinner and didn't eat it all so took it home (no one cared), after dinner I went for a hike to feel better (no one cared), then I retreated to the basement to relax and have alone time (no one cared).
So the thing is, I'm spending time with my mom and stepdad. My mom has done a lot of work on herself, and my stepdad has always been laid back. (They married when I was an adult.) I think I'm still responding to my father's way of things, which was to always try and please him and that I have to stick to his schedule, and I can't have my own needs. Yesterday was actually a lot of fun even though I had to redirect my thoughts a lot and manage my energy. I would have more days like that if I can. Thanks for the support! Seesaw

I’m happy for you. You are learning that it’s ok to do your own thing and take care of your own wants and needs in your own timeframe
