I want to hide away and stay hidden everything is feeling overwhelming and just too much. i want to hide somewhere quiet and far away where no one can find me. but mostly i want "it" to stay with me I dont want it to leave it brings me comfort and safety and keeps me going but i am scared if they find out they will try and take "it" from me. that is why we need to hide.

Hello @Eden1919
I am not too sure what you mean by "it" but "it" sounds like something that brings you comfort but is also something that you feel you need to hide from people, is there something else that brings you more comfort that you won't need to hide from others?

@Former-Member there is nothing that bring me the same level of comfort as "it" i need it more than anything. but i am scared because i dont want everyone to know about it. i really dont know what to do i want to cry and hide and everything is a mess and yet i feel like i can do anything at the same time everything is confusing right now. i just know that i need to keep it safe.
