Entwisi's suggestion of a meet isn't really the way I want to go about 'emerging'
I will just have to discipline myself to go to public noisy places gradually - increasing the time spent there and the frequency I do it.

There will be days when I don't feel up to it - so I cant set dates for it, but I am convinced that I need to make an effort to rejoin society, and knowing where to go is that start.

One or two have broken slats, and you might get bothered by the odd pigeon, or the even odder drinker, but the latter only seem to be there in the summer.

Odd drinker Rindi didn't know you frequented the Church Street forms mate:D:hidewall:

Last winter I hardly went out due to bronchitis and (what I thought was) pleurisy, but wasn't (explained in my blog). I avoid SAD - I have a daylight lamp and take extra vitamin D to compensate for lack of natural daylight

This winter my hibernation began early Autumn due to chronic fatigue which I am in the process of curing with nutritional therapy.

I the summer I went on the coast bus driven by darwendosser several times, because I could stay on the bus when it was parked up and sleep on the seats when I needed to.

It is the overwhelming need to sleep at the most inappropriate times which reduces confidence to survive away from home for more than an hour at a time.

It isn't agrophobia - I have been out when I absolutely had to -eg, for trips to chiropodist and hospital outpatients appointments, and I do nip out in my slippers to buy eggs from the allottment next door.

Now this need to sleep has been largely replaced by a need to lie down - so I know I am on the mend:). My body clock is still erratic. Last night I was awake all night until 5am and sunday I slept most of the day - but when all added up totals a normal 8hrs and not the 11hrs it used to be.

This life pattern does not fit well with a social life. Arrangements to meet friends and visit places can't be planned ahead.

I have all my physical needs met by deliveries (dont 'shop')
Any sense of isolation has been lessened by Accy Web, and I have managed to go to some meets.

I know that this lifestyle is not natural so I plan to end it (meaning 'be normal'), as soon as the weather warms up a bit, but after so long like this I need 'rehab':D

I'm sure you've already it checked it out, but do you think it is some sort of narcolepsy?

If you look back in my posting history you will see that I thought that too.
It was only when it improved in response to vitamin B12 therapy that I realised it wasn't.

I saw that recent tv programme about narcolepsy - they just nod off without warning whilst doing anything.
I have just overwhelming wearyness and feel the need to be horizonal.
There are other health issues which have also improved and all can be explained by Chronic Fatigue Syndrome due to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. There are no NHS treatments - only alternative therapies offer hope and I seem to have found the one that works for me

Lovely of you to offer Kate - I was faced with coast trips alone this summer because darwendosser is now semi retired and just does school buses.

SO................get your bus pass ready - they do a lovely buffet lunch in the Prince of Wales in Southport:D

I should have known, being the thorough researcher that you are, that you would already looked into narcolepsy.:D

It's going to be bright, sunny, but cold all week.

I hope you manage your first foray out soon, whilst the weather is relatively fine.:)

Sounds great .. got me bus pass ... but still a confident driver if you have issues about facing a bus. No charge for the transport.. :) And you will be able to have a fag too.

I could start off by the lake as a gentle intro and work my way to the town centre later in my rehab programme

Sounds like you are talking about Kingston ... start off by Lake Ontario, enjoy the beautiful downtown/centreville area with benches all over the place ... neat little cafes and coffee shops (sorry guys, but I can't recommend the tea, unless you go to Nefoundland), the numerous city parks, the Barriefield Rock Garden, Fort Henry (a UN World Heritage Site, along with the Rideau Canal) ... the Agnes Etherington Art Gallery at Queens University which has one third of all the Rembrandts in Canada (ok, it's only two paintings out of six) ... some really great pubs where even a Brit would feel at home: The Iron Duke, the Toucan, the Prince George, the Merchant Taproom, the Pilot House (great fish and chips, and a decent steak and kidney pie) etc.

Did I mention the four or five months of winter:eek:
