Company is hard when you're an introvert who struggles to stay on an even keel at the best of times. I love having friends and family visit, though, and it's happened a lot recently, so I'm learning coping skills and self-talk to make having all those extra people in my space a little easier. Houseguests used to be much harder on my mental health than they are now, and this video explains my strategies to prioritize self-care with a full house.
Here's the video I made after our last string of guests: • Complex PTSD Makes Me ...

All good points, Jenn. Friends no longer visit - they all gradually stopped contacting me when i could no longer be useful to them, so i don't have a problem with cleaning before visits, & i don't get offers of help. I used to have someone come to the house to clean for me but but so many things got broken & lied about that in the end i swore even if my house is a pigsty i would never have anyone to clean my house ever sgain. I don't mean this to sound negative, just telling it how it is. I used to have my father to stay but can no longer do that because he's just so obstructive & controlling that my health suffers. When ever i'm in company my nervous system goes into overdrive so i need to rest afterwards.

Belle, it sounds like you’re doing what’s right for you. We almost never had houseguests before moving to California. Now, it seems to happen with startling regularity. Kevin loves having friends stay and enjoys staying with friends when we travel as well. It’s harder for me, because it can be so much more draining than just staying in a hotel, but I’m working on it.
