Hi guys I keep getting this feeling maybe only once a week usually later in the day or night where I feel a little overwhelmed, little things frustrate me. I don't really want to talk to people or have them around home. Something sort of comes over me and I can't seem to shake it off

Hi @Anne25
Welcome to the Sane Forums.
It certainly sounds like you are overwhelmed at times and that is ok. We can all get like that at times.
Can I suggest in those times to try and do some self care or mindfulness. Things like:
taking a pet for a walk
using your 5 senses to ground you
have a bath/shower
doing something nice for yourself
it doesn't have to be anything big, can be something just small, but something that can help you settle down.
If you google self care or mindfulness it will bring up lots more that you can try.
Again welcome and I hope you find the support you are looking for.

Hi @Anne25, For me, I sometimes have feelings like that when I've had almost an overdose of people and I need time on my own to balance things out a little and recharge. It's like my body's warning sign that I've had too much going on and I need quiet and time out.
