[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. DS is taking the rare nap so I am checking back in while getting my alone time. I do take him grocery shopping and to errands and he’s actually great about it, but there are so many errands and jobs these days. Maybe the problem is that we bought a fixer and on top of medical appointments I just feel like I want to do nothing, by myself, at home, in silence. DH is a talker and thinks out loud, which doesn’t help - literally follows me around talking and I’ve had to tell him I need a minute to use the bathroom.  We live in the suburbs and there are plenty of quieter places, but we do have to drive everywhere, which I kind of hate. We do go to quieter playgrounds and other places which is nice, but still not the same as being alone, if you know how I feel? I do know how lucky I am and feel a little ridiculous posting about this, but I appreciate the thoughts and advice from fellow introverts. [/quote]

With just one kid and no job, it's easy to snatch some alone time every day. Your problem is that you're not prioritizing it. You find lots of excuses, like the chores and the house fixing. Well guess what? Drop everything for me time. Schedule the me time on your phone or agenda. Get organized to do the rest in less time (if you can't get organized, you may have an executive function disorder, like ADHD).

And if you can't relax during your me time if there is something you haven't finished or need to do later that day, then you suffer from anxiety. To fix that, you can try meditation, deep breathing, yoga, live a healthier lifestyle perhaps, whatever you think will help. Or magnesium supplements. Or anxiety meds.
