Long hours alone

Lately I find more comfort being alone. I am an adult with ADHD.   But it seems like the only time I am comfortable is alone. Aroung others I have to suppress crying spells, or give a reason "why" I am crying.  Duh, if I could explain that sudden hopelessness and depression I would be better off.  I just feel "crazy".  Like now, I am struggling to stop "staring off into space, at the same time others thoughts of everything else" is in my head.  Its scary, and don't think I will ever tell anyone.  I will NEVER hurt myself, but I often woner, Where exactly do I belong? I dont match anything or anyone.  Waiting my turn and overtalking always. Always the apologetic one to hold things together cuz if anyone makes me upset...then they are afraid or I am wrong for saying what is REALLY on my mind.  I love going to work...hate when I get off.  Then it starts all over again.
