Small Town--John Mellencamp

What I hear the most from others is that I'm genuine & kind. That means a lot to me. I pretty much know that myself, but sometimes I don't think that well of myself. I went through abuse as a child & when I was married. One thing that was done was gaslighting. I still have self doubts & get that...

@Trevor I appreciate that. I'm tired of having to be strong. I've needed to be that way my whole life. One of the things I've learned through my inner work is to be able to ask for & accept support. Even though it can get overwhelming, I still try to do everything on my own. But, I need to let...

@Trevor No worries. I've gone through various abuse throughout my life. I've dealt with a lot of harsh. This wasn't. I do appreciate you caring how I took it. I also have worked with developmentally challenged adults. So I know there's a variety of ways to communicate. I like getting different...

@okidoke I'm a lifelong depressive. There are situations, including this, that make it hit extra hard. If he doesn't return, maybe one day the memories of our friendship & time together won't hurt so much.

It's far too soon to move on. As I mentioned, it's less what he said & did & more about his energy. That I have several friends I vibe well with, but he's the only person who has ever felt like home. I hope that I never have to give that up. From what he shared, there was a period of time that...

You mean, is he amongst the living? I believe so. No obit comes up when I search his name just in general. I don't know if he's still in this county (we're in NorCal a couple of hours north of San Francisco) or the one to the south. Maybe TX, where his one bro lives. He supposedly had went to...

I appreciate your care & concern. You're welcome to share about your struggles, if you'd like. I'm certain they're not pathetic. Anything that can alter things for us & make it difficult to function in some fashion, should not be dismissed. Holding good thoughts, sending positive energy & gentle...

It's been five weeks since I've heard from D. When I was with J he tried to end the relationship, pretty much every month. Because we lived next door to each other & I was persistent, that didn't happen. He's the only other bi polar person I've been romantically involved with. D pulling away for...

Hi, everyone. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I couldn't find which sub forum was the most appropriate for this. This is part two of the other thread. Since I haven't heard from my friend. I had left off the part that, just before he went incommunicado, we started having a relationship...

I Am I Said--Neil Diamond

For Love of the Game

I talked with our caseworker today. He still hasn't been able to get a hold of my friend/his client. He planned to reach out to the daughter & see if she's heard anything. A few days ago I was wondering if he might be bi polar. I had a roomie, late client & late friend (who had also been a...

Hi, everyone. If this isn't the correct place for this, I understand if you need to move it. I'm a lifelong depressive (due to abuse), sometimes have anxiety & occasional PTSD. I will withdraw sometimes. Which was easier to do when I was living on my own & only did my volunteering, errands &...

Bailey Sarian Since I'm more interested in the true crime than the makeup, I listen to it like a podcast

I'm just now making your acquaintance. No doubt it hasn't always been easy, but it sounds like you've done your best to remain strong & hopeful. I'm glad that you have a good partner by your side & many dreams to realize, including having a child, to keep you going. You will be in my thoughts &...

Beauty & the Pizza

My heart went out to you as I read this. I'm sorry that you've had to experience it. I can relate. I'm a multi abuse survivor. Starting with my mother. You're fed up. Which is good. Even if you're not ready to take the exit, you're moving toward it. So, however it is, please do what you're...
