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

Hello all ....

I decided to open up a safe room

somewhere we can just sit.... talk if you need... offload a worry or two...:check on your friends ...: and feel safe....

it is a side room to the worry room ....

let us know you are here so we can sit with you

please note that there is not always someone here physically.... but we are here virtually so it may take a while for someone to acknowledge you

you are safe and supported here

💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💔🤎🤍💞💓💗

That's ok. @Bow Yes too many hurts and they don't understand ptsd. It's really incredible how they have mistreated me. They act so caring and they only care about who attends and what they can do for them.

My church is very supportive @Former-Member im sorry that that’s not something you have experienced too. Have you tried another church?

Why has being bought up in a Christian home screwed you?
