I've just been absent from this group for a couple of months from feeling low. I now realise that I could have asked any one of the lovely people on here for help advice or just a chat. Why do some people like myself run away and isolate from others when that's when we need somebody the most. I don't understand my actions!!!

Me personally, I realized it’s exhausting. A phone call or a visit when I’m not doing well, the added stress of carrying on a conversation is exhausting.
First of all, welcome back! 💙 It's completely understandable to feel confused about why isolation happens, especially when support is right there. The truth is, this is incredibly common with fibromyalgia, and you are definitely not alone in this pattern. There are a few reasons why people tend to withdraw when feeling low:

I remember watching star trek with dad and at the age of 8 I told dad that if that ever happened in real life I'd be really concerned for the world 😂😂😂 Now they are working on A.I men and women for that special someone in your life. Fill our 9 million forms about what you want and desire in a partner and for a price they can make your own special bot that does everything says everything and is also a therapist masseuse knows every little thing you like and will be your perfect person.
What a crock of shit 😂😂😂 I wonder if this will come out before they take Mars to pollute just like the earth. I mean it makes perfect sense, when you've screwed one planet up just go get another one to screw up. That's how far we have come.
The rich take over the world.
What happened to writing a letter. Giving someone something to actually look forward too.
I have a box of letters from friends and family that I love to re read. These are the memories I adore. I believe so much stress comes from social media and everything that goes with it. I had to put a stop to 6hr facetime sessions from my children who would carry me around the house basically complaining about everything they needed to do.
I think they'd get alot more done if not on facetime. It's exhausting 😂😂😂😂😂
Hi Laura, I’m glad to see you. Totally understand why you didn’t want to come on here. I’m sure you were very exhausted and overwhelmed ..sometimes just writing to someone is more than we can handle. Our nervous systems with fibro myalgia are just shot. There’s a lot of people that stop coming on here for long periods of time and then come back. We all understand, sweetheart.💞
I think this is incredibly normal for people with chronic conditions mostly because one is mainly concerned with survival and trying to get through the pain. It makes it difficult to have the cognitive capacity to verbalize and relate to others even though one might realize others might be able to assist. From experience being in a stage of constant fog, I was uncomfortable with not being able to express myself clearly so I avoided situations that might require me to do so. The fact that you returned to the board says a lot about your resilience. I welcome you back, everyone here certainly understands.
