Ultimately the question I'm posing is in the title. How do you define emotional abuse?

And I thought I was going to write out why this is applicable to me, but once it got to four pages in a word document, I decided to stop, and post it only if people want to know, because seriously it was four pages and I was only half done!

I will say why this came up: three weeks ago I took a really bad downwards spiral when one of my lovers and good friends (I'm polyamorous) basically Skyped me (text) saying he never wants to talk to me again and that I should be committed as an inpatient until I could function as a normal human being. To me this was random, but to him I had basically ignored him for a month then suddenly picked up the relationship again, which is something I do and warn all my friends and especially lovers about because it's not personal, I just do that because time doesn't run strait in my head. Needless to say, I kinda hit the ground and went from bipolar 2 with meds kicking in finally and me evening out, to suicidal and unable to move in about 3 min. Stayed that way for a few days, then suddenly started dissociating and having odd personalities come out. Still don't know what to call it, DID or something else, because I remember everything. Thought that was done with, then had it happen again, and now am questioning my entire life, and if I ever had trauma, if my past relationships count as trauma, or if I've buried something and fabricated memories to cover it up. Also wondering if my sexuality and kinks come out of all of this.

Regardless to say, frustrating three weeks. Anyway, the important thing is an approximate definition of "Emotional Abuse", and if it counts as "trauma".
