Such an understatement!!! I used to be a people person but not anymore, now I would prefer to just be alone with my husband doing nothing.

I'm glad I'm not alone feeling like this.

I can totally relate to this. I dread being around people. Especially ones I don't know or don't know very well. I would much rather be hiding at home in my comfy clothes. I hardly ever answer the door. I make my son or husband do it most of the time. My husband has social anxiety disorder and takes medication for it. If I wasn't trying to get pregnanat, I would be on something for it too. You are definitely not alone in this. Have you thought about talking to your doctor about it? Best wishes to you!

Way too familiar to me! I dont want people around at all-sometimes I wish that my own hubby and kids would go away for a while..
I have never been like this b4 now-I used to hate being left alone and now that is all i want-

Immediately after my miscarriage I didn't want to be around ANYONE including my husband. It will pass, this I do promise.

Since my m/c 9 months ago I still have an overwhelming feeling when I am around people or crowds. I find I am a lot less patient with people and become fustrated much more easily then before. It doesn't take much to overwhelm me or change my mood. I think this is all very normal and I hope it will improve soon. I'm glad to see that I'm not alone in this.

I feel this way because nearly no one around me understands how I feel right now--just 2 weeks since my third loss. (The only people I know who've been through multiple m/c's are in other states.) That and I have absolutely nothing to say to any of them. Conversations about my losses are pointless and painful. Conversations about anything else, I just don't care about. I have no guilt about these feelings whatsoever. I know this is part of my grieving process. When I am able to carry on a polite conversation, I'll know I'm getting better and will be ready for social situations.
Having been through this before, I suggest starting small: a movie or quick lunch or coffe with just one or two people. If you have to take on a big party, arrive late and leave early. What's most important is taking care of yourself right now.

I have felt the exact same way since my mc. I think as time goes by it gets better. I just want to be alone at home to do whatever I want alone, not to answer the phone or the door. When I go to work I want my coworkers to leave me alone and just let me get my work done and leave. The more weeks that go by the better it gets. Hopefully, it will pass for you too.

I feel the same way. I used to love to go out and be with friends and didnt mind being with lots of people. Now my husband does good to get me out the house. I started having anxiety problems and panic attacks after everything happened. Your not alone!
