I've just had my 5th negligence for the year and my 12the negligence all up. I don't feel safe anywhere. I don't feel safe around people. Today I became an aunty and instead of being overjoyed and full of love, I'm crying uncontrollably flooding with trauma, locked in a room where I can stay away from people.

Hi @HeyThere_ I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling so unsafe and overwhelmed today. It can be incredibly difficult when we don't have the "appropriate" or "socially acceptable" response to an event, especially one like becoming an aunty. But it does not mean that your emotional response is any less valid - especially if this has reminded you of painful parts of your life.
I think it's okay to spend the day hidden away sometimes, to give ourselves time to sit with and process heavy emotions, before we decide we're ready to respond to things happening around us. I hope you are able to show yourself some kindness this evening <3
