The safe room- somewhere to just come and sit.... offload... feel supported

@Lostandalone I might curl up nearby if that’s ok. Bringing a hotty, it’s cold where I am, and a coffee/tea, if you would like one. ☕️☕️💕💕

I am still curled up here in my corner.... I am safe here ... I can hide.... I have friends who come with hot chocolate ( can't drink tea or coffee) .... they keep my head above water so to speak

I need a good sleep... all day long I struggle to keep my eyes open... I snooze if I sit still long enough.... but as soon as I vlimb into bed my body laughs at me and I cannot get to sleep for the life of me

i am hungry but annoy eat

I am bored 😑

My safe room would be overlooking a beach on a stormy day.

A storm would be raging outside, the winds howling, stinging rain, turmoltous waves, black rolling angry looking clouds.

Inside the safe room I would be wrapped up in a calming blanket, maybe with some snuggly purring cats. Some quiet instrumental music playing.

Even here, would my mind still be either in turmoil or shutting down or constantly flickering between the two states?

Would I be able to emerge feeling connected with the world and those around me or would I still be fearful?

Maybe I can take my mind to this safe room for a while and see how it makes me feel.

Just needing to feel safe for a while. A corner and a cushion will suffice.

Hi @Eve7 @Lostandalone @Antelope @Maggie @Former-Member and anyone else wanting to sit with us.

I'm here

@frog Those blankets took cosy, warm and colourful.

I’m bring in a coffee.

Hi @Maggie glad to share a cuppa

How are you @frog 💚💚☕️☕️

I'm pretty good this morning thanks @Maggie

It has been such a struggle lately but I have a bit of breathing space with a week off work.

How are you travelling?

That’s good to hear @frog . The week off, and some breathing space might make a difference.

I’m stuck in a dark hole at the moment. It’s been a struggle for a while now. It’s hard knowing what to do to find a way back up. I’m heading out into the garden to do a bit of digging. It’s warm here, but no sun out. Good for digging.

Take care @frog 💚💚🐸🐸
