Shock, horror, I don't have a night stand, I'm very minimalist, the only thing next to me when I go to bed, is my rosary beads and my phone 🥰

My mum always had her rosary with her, especially when she went to bed.

Minimalism is good. Keeps your headspace less cluttered.

we do not have a nightstand in bedroom we have a table next to bed with desktop computer on
in living room next to daybed we have another table with bi-pap on it and painting stuff most nightswe sleep in living room feel safer in that room as can see front door
@stormieandpaws
Me too. My desk is close to my bed, with all my essentials - laptop and books mostly. I understand wanting to sleep in the living room. I also face the irrational fear of having someone sneak into my apartment in the middle of the night. I always double check the locks before bed. Keep the bedroom door open if I can. Helps me sleep peacefully.

@trueconfidant123
thank you for telling us you can relate to the fear of someone coming into apartment when young we never was allowed to close bedroom door this left us in a bad spot when very young our brothers had to walk through our bedroom due to both bedrooms were cement add ons to the old house
at age 7yr right before school started we moved into new house family had built next to old house we had own bedroom but still was not safe from brothers they come in our room a lot to hurt us
so now in head we know we safe but we also alarm to things never relax seems
@stormieandpaws
I'm sorry to hear that. This is very scary. You deserve privacy and safety in a room of your own. I'm glad you are at a better place now. Please stay safe. You're loved.

@trueconfidant123
thanks been a hard road for us but at least we safe now away from the daily abuse truth is even after the many years we been moved away from them we still on hyper alert with any sound we hear but is better then before but still there glad healing a journey with no time limits as we can only handle things coming up little by little not all at one time
