Hiding in my bed. Anytime I get up I have an anxiety attack, even if it's just to go to the bathroom. I don't feel safe, I don't want to leave the house. I'm afraid of not being able to look after myself in public. My case worker tells me that I know how to look after myself, but this seems different. I can't think properly, I'm exhausted, my head is pounding.
I just want to be safe, I just want to feel safe. I'm scared. People tell me that I'm safe, but that's what everyone said my whole life, and it wasn't true.

Maybe you need to ground yourself. I use ice to ground myself. It helps me to get back to a functional mood.

I am back now. I have never been gone for so long before. 48 hours, and the little one was all alone. Luckily I have an apt with my case worker tomorrow. Thanks for being there with me, it was nice to know she wasn't alone. We are having a quiet evening just us now.
Thanks again,
IJ
