I'm the one who crawled back out of loneliness. It's not working out but not
because of me. I'm being gaslighted constantly. I'm not doing anything wrong
and if anything I'm too nice and appeasing. I'm paralyzed by fear of loneliness
and depression. Very disappointed. So just hang in there and try to just live in
the moment and not let your mind hijack your " mind". Emotion vs. Logic and Reason. Realize that your an individual who has needs , wants , and dreams
that can and should be realized.

Thank you for sharing your own story. Hugs.
Gaslighting makes you question everything, including your own perceptions of reality. It's the worst! Try to free yourself and realize that being alone is not that bad. In fact, it can be quite good and is far better than being mistreated and abused.
