I know for myself and my clients that there are days when if you had to deal with one more demand of you you were going to go outside and yell!!
Social isolation is so common both in depression and anxiety that most docs dont even talk about it much. Having to deal with either the demands of someone else, having to always meet their needs instead of your own, and in some cases, having to risk rejection when you finally get brave enough to share with someone you THINK you can trust and they step on you( I bet you thought I was going to type something else...LOL)
I have to deal with upset people all day long and when I get home, having some time just for me is so precious that I have been known to take a ride in my car to the park and feed the ducks or read my favorite Danille Steele novel to escape for a little while...
Make time for yourself...and then you can find the time for those who are really important in your life... let me know how it goes.
