RR, you are suffering from severe low self-esteem. You are crying for the loss of yourself, not for the loss of an abusive boyfriend. Please make an appointment to talk to a professional who can help you deal with these tremendous feelings. As long as you allow this guy to step on you, he will. Be strong and get help! ...  |

Redriot, these feelings that you have are very hard for you to deal with now. However in time they will be dealt with. Don't look for the quick fix, cuz these problems came to be over time, and they will take time to heal. The part of this that you talk about your old boyfriend is easier to handle than you may already think. In your mind you have already moved on. It is very clear that you have already changed paths, and are walking down the one that doesn't have him on it. You said that you have experienced things with him that you will never with anyone else. I'll bet that if I talk to you in 10 years time, you will be quite settled down, with a person that you may call a soul mate. You will look back on that statement, and wonder how you could have thought that. What you know about sharing is only from experiences from today backward. You can't possibly know what kinds of miraculous experiences that you can have with a guy who treats you like a queen. One who totally respects you, and everything you do and say. I have been lucky enough to find someone who does treat me like that, so I know that the dream does exist. The other condition is a disorder that effects many people, I have spoken with people on this site who have it. It is an anxiety disorder that can get worse. You can work on desensitising your self in slow steps. Or get some counseling, that does wonders. You have so much self awarness, that is your true gift to yourself. |

RedRiot....maybe you don't like going to the store alone because you're afraid people might think there is something wrong with you because you're alone. I used to feel that way when I was younger, but now I just don't care what other people think! I've never met you before, but I truly feel for you.....I'm sorry you've had to go through an abusive relationship. Maybe when he is gone it'll be like a ray of sunshine poking through the storm clouds! It sounds like you could use a break from everyone and everything. Maybe it would do you some good to go on a little vacation and totally pamper yourself! I agree with what the above replies say....if things get harder for you, maybe you should see a doctor. I hope you make it through this point in your life. If you ever need someone to talk to, email me at [email protected]. Good luck! ~Corky  |
