Creating a safe space

Being a caregiver is exhausting, I’ve found, creating a “safe space” that I can go to when feeling frustrated, helps. To be clear, this is an imaginary place that you “go” to restore your sanity. Mine is a bouncy castle with a time card machine at the door, I card in, the world stops for 4 hours so I have that much time all for myself. Inside, the floor is wool, warm, and I lie down, it feels like I am floating in the air. Nobody can come it, nothing bad can happen during this time, it’s all mine.
