That's me!!!
I'm actually really struggling today, although yesterday was much worse. Big time introvert hangover and it's been building for a while. Three weekends ago we had a Thanksgiving dinner, two weekends ago, we had a second Thanksgiving / Birthday dinner to go to and this past weekend, we had a wedding to go to. Not only that but the wedding was out of town so it was 2 consecutive nights of staying up late with friends we hadn't seen in years plus the travelling which I don't do well with.
I also work full time and of course have to do regular "life stuff" so I haven't really had any significant recharge time in almost a month. I'm completely spent, feel sick, have a massive headache and feel like I got hit by a truck...but have to go back to work tomorrow. I'm past my limit at this point so even my emotions are all screwy...usually I can keep those in check. Today was a day of laundry and pretty much nothing else, which I purposefully planned that way as I knew I would need it, but I still don't think I'll be good to go tomorrow...not that I have a choice. So all I can do is hope that next weekend I get a good recharge and that this week is a good week at work with not too many shenanigans that need extra focus and energy. There have been times where it can takes weeks for me to recover from an event or series of events...even little ones. I have a feeling that this will be one of those times...
To those of you who are on the more extreme side of introversion, how are the best ways you have found to overcome a hangover? Some things I have found to help, but it takes so dang long to get over an introvert hangover that I was just wondering if any of you have a secret weapon that helps with it that I could include in my self care moving forward.
