I so understand how you feel, although I don't want to be alone all the time. The over stimulation of just and ordinary day makes me want to fly apart. My alone time is usually now after everyone has gone to bed and the long hot epsom salt baths that I take....everyone in my life is beginning to learn about how sounds, stress, and drama effects me. My 2 year anniversary of this disorder is coming up and my daughter wanted me to celebrate. I don't know why, but she thinks that this disorder has opened a new chapter in my life and I had to have a way to slow down.....I think she's wrong and I will not celebrate RSD. I am getting used to living differently, but until my meds get situated, then I'll celebrate. Solitude is a better word for alone....everyone needs some kind of solitude.
