I think these started for me around the time I first noticed my insulin resistance

I used to do it, but felt very isolated. I lived alone in a rural area. Now I moved to a city, where it's so expensive you need roommates. But I find myself blowing hundreds anyway on trips out of town to get some alone time.

The worst part is it doesn't even help. The airbnb I'm in now has other residents who are total strangers and possibly even worse than my current roommates. Hotels were ok but expensive, or in far flung areas. I like living in a city. I just don't want to be bombarded with socializing every moment. It's year 3 of living with roommates as an introvert and I'm thoroughly burnt out. There is no way to escape this, because my actual yearly vacations around holidays are spent with family.

I feel like I haven't gotten a full rest in so long, and can barely think. It literally feels disabling.
