Maybe if my job were not as social as it it, being around people the rest of the time would be easier?

Even at parties at our house, I get overwhelmed and try to escape to outside to chill, but people follow me. I need a better plan.

I do find that living in a city is better because it is anonymous and I am not expected to hang out with neighbors and no one cares what I do.

If it makes any difference, I am becoming more people phobic than ever...

By the time Thursday afternoon rolls around, there is NOTHING I'd rather do than hop in the car, drive the four hours home and collapse with Jess and the critters.

There are weeks when I don't go out of the house from Thursday night till I leave on Monday asscrackofdawn.

I don't care what the expectation might be from the neighbors in our small town. They get too cozy and I WILL run that rainbow flag up next to the devil worshipping star! (its a joke)

I think that everyone should have that "recharge" time - neurodiverse or not

That being said, there must be a cup of coffee when we are in Nashvegas at the end of the month!
