a special place

[Iammesues]

would you mind sharing what is the place you escape to? The place you go when things are overwhelming, or when you need to shut out a hurtful person. I go to the closet. The darkness, the locked door, the small space. Sometimes I long to stay there for days.

Iammesues, I go down to my office. I lower the lights, take a hot towel out of the

dryer and wrapped it tightly around my shoulders, sip on something hot, and tune into YouTube Meditation. As I close my eyes

I escape for a few moments to regenerate. It's not about the time spent in peace but

the after effects that keep my Mind and Body in a calming state. Breathe I Am Safe xx

Bed and in my mind I visualize a sort of heaven I made up or the ocean. Sometimes I visualize laying with my head touching the water and the water cleaning out the junk in my mind that I don’t need.

I either zone out with a movie or paint.... but I also have to give it a little thought about what has upset me, so I can keep things in perspective. I used to hide in dark places as a kid, hoping to become invisible. Are you okay?... are you feeling your personal space is being invaded, or you're just too overwhelmed emotionally.? Hiding in the closet is pretty extreme and I'm concerned for you....do you want to talk about it a bit more?

[Iammesues]

it does seem extreme. And interesting that such an extreme is needed for soothing
