So given my insistence that my husband and son would not be around. I was prepared for that. What I wasn't prepared for was the inability to have a safe place the suicidal feelings that happen when trying to cope with normal daily stressores in a home I can't alter.

Waking up hopeless, crying, and suicidal was not on my agenda today for my 10th anniversary.

Oh Miguel'sMom, I'm sorry to hear you are feeling so down.

Hope you get to feeling better, MM.
What sort of space do you think of as a safe place? I don't know if it would be at all what you are thinking of, but I've had a place that was as simple as a couple of big pillows in the closet on the floor under the clothes rack. Called it Hide-y Hole. I don't know if it was a safe place as such, but a place to retreat to when overwhelmed, or when I really needed the floor (hard to explain….a depression thing). No alteration required.

(Currently don't have one. I'd do the same here, but it's a really small place, and space is at a premium. To say the least. I may have to burrow one out sometime though…Which is how the first one came about. Had to get in THAT space. It was the only one that felt sheltered enough. It was a comforting place.)

Love the idea of a hidey-hole. Did it myself with a blanket and pillows in my closet. Just felt super secure in there. I KNOW i'm depressed when I do that.
You said in your title, MM, that u r not depressed. Are you sure? You sound awful down to me. Be good to yourself. I hope it gets better soon.

I doubt I'm depressed. it's hard to tell given all the confusion called my life right now. To me a safe place is one where there's nothing I can harm myself with in the area.
