I'm struggling at the moment again with my anxiety and I was thinking this morning, and I realized that I don't feel safe. I mean within myself.
I was thinking that I don't think I've felt safe for a long time. I do feel more safe at home than when out, but there's this feeling missing inside. It could be confidence I don't know.
I think the last time I felt safe was when I was a kid. I still live with my parents now but just nothing anyone says seems to help this feeling I have. It does feel better when I'm not so anxious though. But still it's like I need to keep doing things or finding things to make me feel safe. Like my ocd, I've had ocd for years, and I think I do that to feel safe.
I wondered if anyone knows what I mean about this not feeling safe feeling?
Thanks for reading,
