Li'l one isn't feeling safe and I'm not sure how best to help her. It feels like both of us are on sensory overload and just want to go back into hibernation for the rest of the summer. Something happened last night while we were out with someone else and it's left us shaken and questioning whether it is really emotionally safe for us to leave the house, away from our protective cocoon. We're questioning so many things right now but are trying to stay focused on staying sober. Why do emotions and triggers have to be so hard to handle?

Feeling very uncertain and wobbly today. If we didn't have to go to work, we'd spend the day under the covers.
