I've always struggled a lot with feeling safe, and with the uncertainty that comes with living. It is hard to live with the fact that no matter what you do, you can't 100% guarantee your own safety or that the trauma will not happen again. This has led me to add more and more locks and security devices around my home, and it never feels like enough. I've come to realize that no matter what I do to the house, there is always going to be that uncertainty and therefore the discomfort that comes with it. How do you deal with that? How do you manage knowing that you can't protect yourself totally and that your original trauma could occur in the future?
