I spent a lot of time thinking I was a TI, before ever reading your posts. Sometimes I still think it, and when I do, I remind myself: fear is the reaction they want. If they're going to hurt me, I've got no way to stop that. The goal is usually to torture a person until they're nonfunctional, hopeless, and suicidal. The best revenge is to do the opposite of what those jerks want. Continue being yourself, continue going out, continue eating, sleeping, breathing, and living. Show them your strength. Make their mission impossible. The less control they have over you, the more likely they are to stop.
