I need a physical (real life) safe place where I can be me, apart from the people in my world that only know the "capable Kim", with no demands, no pulling, no expectations; one where I can escape, withdraw, breakdown, whatever.

I have none anymore. There's no place like that for me anymore.

There's only so far the "mental safe place" can get you.

I need a place to be vulnerable, afraid, cry, scream, or hide and IT BE OK.

I need that.

It's restorative for me, and I find that if I don't have it, or make time for it, I begin to unravel...

Do many have that same need...I mean really need it REGULARLY to be OK the rest of the time?
