So, there have been changes at my work that have taken away all of the things that made me feel safe. Work itself can be very triggering for me, but I lucked into a really safe situation there because I was sat in a corner with my back against the wall and with a group of people that were warm...

Yipes, people. So I was having a dream last night. Kind of a weird dream like we all have. I'm going along in this dream that was actually kind of a good dream when all of the sudden I had that burning sensation from stomach acid coming up my esophagus from out of nowhere while I was asleep...
