I recognize the feeling that the 2″ thick glass is sometimes present again, even on meds. If that’s the case with me, it’s usually also the case that there are stressful things happening. And I did tend to pull myself back from ‘social life’ (even more) when I was feeling stressed.
So in my case, I’m beginning to think that I’m able to ‘create’ that glass bell and pull back, because that’s the only defense mechanism I know against stress. It’s happened to me again recently, and I’m still working my way back from that. (And I’m succeeding, which feels great)
If I am totally honest, I have to admit that it’s actually not the glass appearing between me and RL again, but it’s me not facing RL, in fact fleeing from it. By this, I am not suggesting that the same goes for you!
It’s just that, in my experience, during these periods of ‘medicated glass bell’ I AM able to focus and step up to the plate. It’s just really scary to do so, and then the glass bell (my comfortable, well known place) just feels more safe.
As I described in another post today, I think it’s time for me to get to work on those habits and defense mechanisms!
