I was mentally, emotional, verbal and physical abuse. I have gone back and think of the abuse that happen to me. I don't have many friends and am lonely most of the time. I hate to think about the abuse, what the point? I mean just bring back memories and hurt me more. I wish I could erase those memories for good.

Hi loveyouhun, oh no, no one should have to live through abuse. come hang out here at Psych Central (PC). Here is an article on building self esteem. https://www.google.com/url?q=http://...2aOxTa_jakoNUg

Many people here at PC find they can share these feelings and what they are going through with the confidence that people go through similar things and can empathize. So many forums are offered as well as Chatrooms (after you have 5 posts or comments on others posts). Depression chat meets on Thursday night at 9pm EST and Anxiety Wednesday at 8PM.

You can also be an active member in other ways like supporting others in their questions, reading articles and posts http://forums.psychcentral.com that are applicable to your area of concern.

Please feel free to private message me or any of the Community Liaisons by left clicking on the name in blue to the left of their post) for questions or just to share.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I was horribly bullied as a teenager, for several years, so I understand verbal and emotional abuse all too well. People can be so cruel.

I was told on a daily basis that I was a "loser", and "worthless", and that I was so ugly I didn't deserve to be alive. There is no good reason for anyone to ever say those things that to another person, but I internalised those words, especially because I was already highly self-critical before the bullying started (I've always been a perfectionist, and have always struggled with mood swings), and that became how I felt about myself. I don't think I will ever truly get over it, but therapy is helping me work through those feelings. It has really made a difference for me.

I hope you find some support here on PC!

There's a technique, maybe other techniques, that you can you to stop these thoughts. You imagine a stop sign. Notice the color, the words, how many sides it has, the background, where the sign is...etc....and that should stop the process. Research more...
