((((Draggers)))) I’m not sure there’s anything I can say to help, but I can listen and empathize. Hug two I feel safest with animals as well. I’m looking at my two cats curled up on my bed right now. Smiler

I don’t know how possible it is to feel completely safe with other people. Even with the person I trust most in my life and who I know is safe, my mind will occasionally turn him into a scary person and I’ll be afraid to be alone with him. But jsut because I don't feel safe, doesn't mean the other person isn't safe. It’s sort-of stupid, but one thing that has helped is that whenever I start to think that nobody in the world is safe, I tell myself that I am a safe person. So there’s at least one safe person in the world, and if there’s one, there’s bound to be others.
I can relate to that. There is a cat in the house where I live, and it is such a relief to be able to spend time with him. I almost breathe more easily, because... he's there, and playing and it's okay, I don't have to be good enough or he will hate me. Just food and toys. It's safe, don't have to be scared. I'm very glad he is in my life.
