She asks if she can come over because she doesnt want to go home ,,, i know she's going to come over a ball of anxiety and it causes me anxiety just knowing shes comming over which does not help me at all,, she is my very best friend,, but she will just text and ask if she can come over ,, i cant say no ,, but i need to know how to shield myself from taking on her stress or being stressed out by her visit ,, any suggestions ,,, telling her she cant come over isnt an option

Maybe after she has left try something relaxing like meditation or listening to your favourite music. This will help you de-stress

Maybe tell her you’re not feeling well and can’t really manage a face to face but be open to phone chat or face timing......??? Depends on whether or not this is less stressful for you but it may result in her giving you some space. Good luck, it’s a tricky one. 🤗

That is a hard one. If she is truly a good friend she should understand if you explain it to her.

Maybe set a time limit...tell her you can visit from 2-4pm, for example, because you didn’t sleep well last night and need to nap.🤗
