This is very embarrassing for me to say, but I think I'm obsessed with my boyfriend.
It's the fact that I know I should have left along time ago, he is very verbal and emotional abusive to the point where I cry everyday. I love him and I want to make it work and I try so hard. We constantly fight about my past and things I've done.. Yet he's the perfect little angel (not even close) like he never does anything wrong. Always my fault!! He is diagnosed with bi polar and is unmedicated. So it's VERY hard for me. I wake up every morning wondering what kind of day I'm in for. We do not live together, I live at home with my mom (my mom will no longer allow him over because she's tired of seeing me upset). Everyone wants me to leave him, but I just can't. 6 years ago I was diagnosed with depression, I was on medication for a couple years and stopped. In all honestly, I feel like I'm going insane I feel like I need help and someone to talk too. I'm constantly depressed one min and the next I'm fine. Its strange. It's been going on like this for awhile now. When I'm not with him (which is a majority of the time now since he's working) I'm constantly thinking about him, I feel like I'm obsessed with him and that's just scary and embarrassing. I don't want to be obsessed with my boyfriend ..
I just don't understand what's going on with me. I hope someone can help me out and give me some advice. Thanks

Hello Cjj6, being with someone like that is going to affect your mental health negatively, I think you know what you need to do. Hugs

When we are with someone who is abusive and we believe we love them,they can cause us to believe that we need them because without them were nothing. This makes us rely on their every waken action. I pray you get the strength to endure what you need to do

If it feels like obsession, it's probably close to an addiction (if it hasn't already gone that far) and I agree with the posts above. He's caused you to feel that way with the constant berating...that will have an affect on your self-esteem and your thought processes regarding all facets of your life.

No one has the right to do that to you. You know what you need to do.

You already know what you have to do.

Just take that first step.
