Alone time
Answered 4 years ago
Im going absolutely batsh*t crazy. I never ever ever get 5 mins to myself in a day. My kids all have adhd and are so full on and in my face every min of the day, my husband is off work, noisy animals and i work in a shared noisy office with ppl all day and never get a lunch break. My phone never stops pinging, kids are in bed with me every night. I need alone time more than i can possibly express because when I have told my therapist she thinks i need a break and says to go out with friends, get my nails done or walk along the beach. But there is ppl there! I mean i want to be truly alone in my own space and not look or hear another being! Im utterly miserable and starting to hate everyone. I do think im on the asd spectrum so perhaps others dont understand this? Honestly getting so bad im having suicidal thoughts now because its the only break i can see. I won't do it of course but i cant help the thoughts that come. Does anyone else feel like this?
Have an answer?

OP, if you can, go get a hotel room for yourself and enjoy! Lots of my mates do it, and they feel like a better mother for it.just as the other responder mentioned when she discussed her hotel arrangements.
Hope you find what you need xx

I have autism but high functioning, and this night once a fortnight makes me a good mum.
I order Uber eats. I have a sauna and sleep alone. I stay in the same place it’s $110 for the night as I stay on a Tuesday. Before this I used air bnb and paid $60 a night, but we make good money now and I like the extras in a hotel ! I get the same room now cos I’m such a regular. It has a spa bath and ocean views.
To be fair only one of my kids is more “full on” for me. Her energy is just always high and happy, which I LOVE about her, but it also exhausts me. She’s just all in all the time. And so affectionate. Which I do love her affection but it can overwhelm me sometimes. I know that sounds horrible. But honestly my night away has been a game changer!!!!
