    • About Me

      Where do i begin??? Well i'm a postal worker, have been for about a year now. I am trying to work things out with an ex boyfriend who used to be physically abusive. This was six years ago. I'm praying in my heart he has changed, i believe he has, but am still skeptical.

    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      "Eli" and i met 6 years ago. Things went great at first, then the abuse started to progress little by little. We weren't living together for too long, then i moved back home 200 miles away when i had enough. I have had a relationship for 4 1/2 years, the beginning was physically abusive, then stopped, and turned into emotional abuse. Anyway on to "Eli"... I have always had him on my mind, always missed him and have always kept in touch with him.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Since i was 15 i've been depressed. I have had a verbally abusive mother growing up. I've never felt 'worthy' of a lot of things. I've also never felt like a person who can make solid decisions without regrets. I'm not blaming my mom, but i feel she had a lot to do with it.

      I grew up not being skinny, never had any self-esteem, was put on phen-fen when i was 15, dropped weight like crazy, had a boyfriend ever since. Not the same one, but i haven't been single for very long. i've gained weight ever since phen-fen was taken off the market, and still am in relationships with men where i feel like i have to take care of them. a friend of mine has told me i'm afraid of dying alone, and it's true.

He used to do drugs, and drink a lot. Now he is not doing that. He is going to college and is trying to make his life better. My parents do NOT like him becuase of our past. I want to be there for him, i dont want to see him hurt,i love him. Someone please help me understand this horrible illness!:(

      My ex boyfriend who i am talking to again and we're back together. He suffers from a TBI from getting into a terrible car accident he was ejected from the car. He was in a coma for 14 months and lost a quarter of his brain. I cant really tell much of a difference of how he thought back then and now. His mom has to remind me hes brain injured. IT's very hard.
