The problem is that my family and friends are not on the same page when I get in that mood. It’s hard to come out & say: “ Well, I actually don't want to talk to anyone, I don't want to smile at you, I don't want to have to listen to you or make conversation in the car, I can't be bothered being polite, or even answering you, so it's best if I stay at home/don’t pick up the phone". Luckily your mother and sister seem to understand what you’re going through.Everybody needs to indulge in some peace and quiet every once in a while. Especially after experiencing hiccups.P.S. the suicide note joke cracked me up.Dutch donut girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04903299581166663151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854422.post-65343530164204374982009-03-04T07:34:49.000-08:002009-03-04T07:34:49.000-08:00Stephanie, I can so relate to you.

But I COMPLETELY understand your need to shut yourself away after (or during) a bout of the hiccups, however you define it. I call it "hibernating" and I have learned that it is part of my process. It gives me the time and mental space that I need to work things out in my head, even if I'm not actively thinking about those things. May I suggest Bakerella's brownies from January 11 to help you through. Sweet mother of God, are they good - and would go well with a nice martini, I'm sure.Violethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12609573058587275879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854422.post-52699877287394862302009-03-03T09:34:32.000-08:002009-03-03T09:34:32.000-08:00I'm with Theresa, go buy yourself something yo...I'm with Theresa, go buy yourself something you really like, it'll make you feel good, promise! I turned off the ringer on my cell phone 2 months ago and I only answer it if it's my dad or my husband. Everyone else can pis off. I'm surprised how much I like not having a phone ring, and here I thought I was addicted. I don't bother too much with emails, I find that most people wither post up what they want with FB or on Twitter, email is almost passe, go figure.I can understand the fear of not wanting to ask people for something, I don't share that issue but I do understand the anxiety. I think (and this is only personal opinion, I'm really socially inept so take it with a grain of salt) that a lot of those kinds of fears come from a self confidence or the lack there of. Some time in high school I decided to lose the mousy feeling and tell myself I was the greatest thing in the whole wide world. It helped. A lot. Probably because I was young and stupid but if you're game it's worth a try. GO on with your bad self and view life in a Paris Hilton i don't give a crap kind of way. It's refreshing, unrealistic but who really cares right?MichelleSGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04452831993197394668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854422.post-56761681188508963812009-03-03T08:52:31.000-08:002009-03-03T08:52:31.000-08:00I wrote a nice post and accidentally deleted it. ...I wrote a nice post and accidentally deleted it. I'm not sure I'll ever capture that clarity again, but I'll try:I have issues with asking people for anything. Hubby teases me about it, and it's the Big Improvement we're focusing on at work too. I don't know why I cringe just thinking about asking someone something...I just do.I think for some people interacting with others takes more energy.I really think that's true when you're experiencing hiccups, regardless of what those hiccups involve.Whenever I go through hiccups I tend to shut down all but essential communication (I'm fine- same ol' same ol') and only that to the most essential people. THEN I have to figure out how to get the energy to communicate with all the people who were left in the dark for however long it took to get past the hiccups.So you're not alone in doing things this way.sigh. my first post was so much better. Treat yourself to something lovely.TheresaGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10854261160601157270noreply@blogger.com
