so I'm watching that show worst ex ever, which should just be called domestic abuse 101 and what follows...
I really wish there could be an online network somewhere of women sharing information about abusive guys... ugh
just the fact that you find yourself here on this subreddit in the first place, it means you should probably leave that person
it took me a long time to realize what was happening because my abuser was often confusing me by disguising his abuse
a lot of the stories and textbook things I see are always like "does he tell you what to do/wear/say etc" whereas in my case, it was this contradictory behavior that made it different from straight forward abuse
for example, he would say, ill never keep you from your family, and then once I was with them, I went home and he slapped me and said he had a "vision" of me being in a car accident and was so worried.
another example was him randomly strangling me while watching tv and then later calling it foreplay.
so every abusive scenario and behavior was "disguised" in this way, mostly of "i dont do this" and then doing it...
has anyone else experienced this contradictory confusing abuse?
I've rearranged a lot of things in my life to survive the spring/summer because of my bug phobia (esp spiders) so today, I doused my car with peppermint oil; that should work keep stuff away right? for the most part?
Ok i'm reading a lot about luvox around here... kinda want to try it! question though: can I still take my xanax/valium from time to time with it?
where can a person find *just* cbd to smoke? no 1% thc no traces just pure cbd flower (or vape) does that even exist???
does anyone else have the type of ocd where like.. its so hard to explain ugh so basically its like, you have a bad day/week/season, and then you just assume that the rest of your life is tainted by these bad feelings that will hang on forever. like if something triggered you in the past but your life has improved a lot but it's still on your mind an you cannot get it off you mind... and intrusive thoughts. what does everyone do for this? meditation?
I tried hypnosis for the first time with a professional for my phobias/fears/ocd, and she said she's basically cured everyone but I am not sure i feel cured. Did I do something wrong? How do I improve my life?
when you get a standard eviction notice, the one that says pay the rent or move out by this date, and you move out by the date on the notice, why are they still threatening with collections for the rent?
