I'm in an unusual state today, and wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience.
For some reason I cannot fathom, my anxiety seems to have backed off a little today (and believe me, I am counting that part as a real blessing). I am a little tired, since I did not sleep as well last night as I have recently, but not too bad. I've done the work assignments I had planned for today, completed my exercises, and been out on my daily bicycle ride around the neighborhood with no problems.
What is different today is I seem to have a strong desire to stay in for the remainder of the day. This is not the same feeling that I have when I am agitated about stepping outside and going somewhere. I am not sure exacly how to describe it, but instead of being afraid to go out into the world, I seem to be craving staying in and enjoying my home.
It is almost like the feelings I used to have after I had been on a trip and had just arrived home. I used to time my returns home for a Friday, so I could lounge around the house on Saturday and enjoy some peace and quiet after being on the run.
I'm a little leery of this feeling, since I have not had it in so long. Usually, it is clearly a matter of being afraid to go out, not a want to stay in.
Does this make sense to anyone? And has anyone else found themselves in the same boat?
