Why Do I Suddenly Want to be Alone? Vol. 532, January 16, 2020
Generally speaking, when one wants to be alone it is because they are feeling depressed. Feeling depressed means a lack of energy to do much of anything – it is ALL TOO HARD TO DO! It means no longer being interested in the things that used to ‘rock you’ and it means that you may be sleeping much more than you normally would. For some, it means eating more, and for others eating less.
If this feeling continues for more then a couple of weeks, do get yourself someone to talk to, to bring yourself out of your malaise. The best people for this are friends that know how to crack you up no matter how down you may feel. Getting out into nature certainly helps, especially if you are able to get out and get some activity in while out there. When I would get into these funks, my ex would take me hiking. I still have no idea how I did that with him given the fact that I had zero energy, but it was the best medicine there was because the increased activity is known to be better than antidepressants at releasing dopamine and serotonin, neurotransmitters that allow one to feel happy and rewarded.
A funny movie or comedy show (from the ’50s through early ’80s when they knew how to make a person laugh without all the idiotic and angry sarcasm of the crap made today. Netflicks and Youtube have tons of them to keep you occupied.
And, eating healthy diets including fish, because it has omega 3s which are also better than antidepressants to get you feeling much better.
Sometimes, feeling down is an indicator that you aren’t eating healthfully enough, like getting enough protein to make the amino acids necessary to make the neurotransmitters necessary for our mood to be in its natural state of contentment. And, sometimes if we have leaky gut and don’t know it, the portions aren’t being absorbed to make the amino acids necessary to make the neurotransmitters.
I am sure the people in your life are missing you if you are isolating, and maybe even worrying about you. Let them know that you are alive and could use some ‘happy time.’ With them.
If none of these things are able to get you out of your funk, it is time to get some professional help. I have a ton of blog posts and general information about depression on this website to help you out. Use it, because that is why it is there!
