I am so stupid and I can't seem to help myself. No one understands what I'm going through. I've got so much going on mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially, plus other kinds of things. I'm in an emotionally and mentally abusive relationship. I have no one. I'm lonely. I'm horribly depressed (but not suicidal). I'm worried I'm going to lose my car because, after making every payment on time and in full every month for over a year, I messed up my finances and don't have the money. I don't know why, but I need to vent when I'm suffering, and I tell the wrong people. I told my judgmental sister, and I hate myself because I knew better. My boyfriend snaps at me and ignores me. Yes, I have a psychiatrist and I'm on meds. I'm in debt. I'm worried about my cats. There's so much more. I can't even prioritize, because one thing after another keeps coming up. I want to move into my own place, but I don't know how to take care of myself, and I want my cats. I want out of this state. I don't know how to not be negative. It's just all the time. My nerves are always bad. My stomach is always nervous. I have bathroom issues, and I have urinary urge incontinence and IBS. My OCD, panic disorder, and depression are too much, and I can't afford someone to talk to (Telehealth would be great), but I need to get away first. I have no family nearby, and they judge me negatively, anyway, and I have no friends. People who don't understand what it's like inside my head and body, and what my life is like, give me "tough love," tell me to basically "just do it" (like I can turn off my mental and physical health issues), and tell me either to leave my boyfriend (I would if I could!) or to stay with him/I don't appreciate him. How do you appreciate someone who calls you "defective," "crazy" (by Virtue of having a mental problem, he says that automatically makes me crazy), and gets everyone to sympathize with him? My sister says that's just the way men are, and this is the best situation someone like me could be in. I'm so miserable! [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]
I’m sorry you’re struggling with a lot of things. I just need to say that your sister is wrong. Abusive men are not “that’s just the way men are”. There are a lot of good men out there. Abusive people are abusive people regardless their gender. And being mentally ill doesn’t mean you deserve less. I hope you’ll get the help you deserve you get out of these situations.
