I Don't Feel Safe

[Deleted member 1860]

And I don't know what to do!

I told everyone in my family. They say I'm not being "rational" because to them the concept of safety is just "oh, there are locks on the door so you are therefore safe". They dismiss me and are unconcerned that I want to run away somewhere else. They think I'm a joke.

I called my therapist. It's a holiday so I'm not surprised that I haven't heard back from her.

Do I go to the hospital? Won't they laugh? I mean I'm not going to hurt myself, I just want to run away so I feel safe.

I don't know what to do!

If you feel that you may harm yourself please call 911 or whatever your emergency number is.

If you're very afraid and feel like running away you may hurt yourself inadvertently please be careful and take good care.

No I don't want to hurt myself. I just want to get in my car and drive away and never look back. Out there is safer than in here.

I'm so sorry that you're feeling bad. Is there anyone that you can call to be with you?

 

[Deleted member 1860]

No. I don't have any friends.

I have an aunt. I know she cares. I think I may go and see her for awhile.

Good. Please be safe.

I don't know. She lives 4 hours away and I don't want to burden her!

Go and see her. If you've thought of her even in this time, then it is likely that she will be able to offer a safe haven for you.

Please take care of yourself.

Maybe you can call the crisis hotline and talk with them until you feel safe again.

What are you feeling unsafe about? I hope Im not being intrusive, please know that is not my intent. Is there someone that you think wants to hurt you? Has something happened where you live? Has something triggered you to feel this way?

I am not sure if a 4 hour drive is a good thing when you are feeling this way. I know for myself, when I am having these kind of feelings, its not the best thing for me to be driving.

Please be safe.

I don't feel safe because of my toxic mother. She stole my church away from me, she stole my family away from me. It's easier to appease her narcissistic behavior and tell me I'm the crazy one. I feel like I'm living in the twilight zone where nothing makes sense anymore.

She won't stay away from me. She says that the police will laugh at me if I call them if/when she comes over to my house. I tell people this and they think I'm making up what she said!
