I find it makes me feel better sometimes to isolate myself in the bedroom and especially with it being cold outside, turn the electric blanket on, snuggle in the covers with a cup of cocoa or hot tea and read a book. My husband thinks I'm nuts, but to me it makes me feel safe and just comfy, like nothing can bother me in that room unless I let it.

I've been known to do this too. In my own mind, I feel like if I need a bit of a pick me up, why should I knowingly place myself around the people that make me feel down and out in the first place. That's why a lot of times I isolate myself in the bedroom when my MIL comes over. I leave the room and don't have to listen to my husband and her fuss at each other . Does that sound horrible? LOL
