hi...........
I'm not little at the moment but I am feeling very vulnerable. My little one, Baby, came out six times last week and twice on the weekend which is a record for her. Usually it only happens once a week or so. I don't know why she was so active this week. But it happened at school twice so I had to tell all my professors about it. I was hoping to keep my diagnosis separate from my schooling but it didn't work. Now all my professors know. And people at church know now since I dissociated at church, too. Anyway, I'm just feeling vulnerable now that my "secret" is out. Once Baby has met someone and determined them to be safe, she wants to always spend time with them so this week has been difficult for me now that all my professors know. I don't know how to keep control of Baby for the remainder of the semester. Any help or advice would be great. Thanks.

Hi toesquasher!
Have you been able to talk to Baby, and ask her why she's been wanting to be out so much lately? Is she protecting you? Is there something she needs?
If internal communication is difficult, could you possibly leave each other notes and/or pictures?
Our best suggestion is to find out why, then you can go from there.

...and Milly and Lello would say "hello!" to Baby, if that's okay? If not, we hope it's not upsetting, they just like to meet new friends.

Hi Toesquasher..
Love your name...makes me giggle..
I'm so sorry that you are feeling so vulnerable right now..
That must be very difficult to be "outed" like that in a time and place that you weren't prepared for. But in a way, it might actually reduce your anxiety in a way because now you don't have to fear it happening in the future and can relax and just be yourself to the best of your ability. I do agree with Gr3tta that I think it will be good for you to try and find out what Baby wants and to try and meet her needs to the best of your ability and try to set some limits so that you can guide her and have her feel that you are listening to her. I don't know Baby's communication skills, but she is always welcome and very safe here in the Garden, and we love to see everyone's artwork and such here.

Please stay in touch and let us know how things go and best of luck in your classes...you are all in my thoughts..

Safe Huggles,

Wysteria Blue
