Social Tiredness.

Since I have developed CFS I have found social situations to be tiring, this can just be in school when I am not directly interacting with any one but maybe just listening to a teacher and having to focus and absorb what they are telling you. Due to the fact I was off school for so long and often in large blocks I felt like I didn't ever know what was going on and in the end would try to avoid social situations at all (for example going into for the two lessons before break then going home or the two lessons between break and lunch and avoiding both lunch and break, so the only time I would directly interact with people would be small talk during a class) this just made it worse and you should really try to avoid doing this kind of thing, even if it tires you out try to just stay for five or ten minutes, make sure that you don't completely cut that part of your life off; if you are not going into school at all then try texting, emailing them just try to keep in contact in some way. I have found it quite hard to re-establish friendships as everyone's personalities have changed since I regularly went to school also I think I have lost some of my confidence in some situations and at times my social skills!
I have had friends over a couple of times over the past 6 months and the lead up to it I get anxious and excited at the same time and then overly exited when they are there because it, for me is quite a unique event and after it I feel exhausted and it is very much because of the emotional tiredness (see previous post). I just thought that I should let you know that it is something that I experience on a regular basis and recently I have been going to my schools well-being co-ordinators office, to avoid getting tired, which has been good in the sense that I have managed to say in for a school day but bad in the sense that I haven't been doing much socialising. My priority at the moment is school work over socialising and I think it has been since I developed CFS. Let me know in the comments below, what has been your priority, school or social life?
