Am I preferring being at Work to anything else?

I feel I like being at Work and nowhere else.

anything else is just exhausting and I am not engaging well. Just tires me put and makes me feel uncertainty and in need of self care.

I have a lot of independence in my job and the solace feels nice. Everywhere else just overstretches me.

If it suits you and it works for you right now then that's ok. Its ok too to have solace if it helps you.

Not everyone wants or needs the company of others. You can always change the status quo later down the line. My only word of caution would be having so much reliance on work for your emotional state of mind. If anything were to happen at work that something changed or work stopped you could be left high and dry. Do consider going to your health provider if you feel you are struggling with your mental health to see what additional support you can get to know you have a safety net there.

You are earning money (hopefully) and the structure and reason to get up and go to work can be hugely stabilising.
