Sounds like you need a vacation.

Seems like other people are a source of stress for me too. I live a peaceful life most of the time.

I still think that some times our daily lives can aggravate symptoms of bi polar. Try to just take a rest.

Glad you got rid of that person who was toxic. That's some good news.

We're always here to listen....if this person is bad for you, you have made the right decision to stay away

Good luck

dealing with toxic people is exhausting and draining. hope you can replenish your energy and peace of mind.

Thanks everybody - I appreciate the support. Dealing with this person always made me feel sick and used. Deciding not to go along with his bs anymore makes me feel more peaceful. This guy has a history of preying on mentally ill women, one of them killed herself with pills a few months ago. He is very manipulative, I let him use me over a year ago and it took me months to get over it. Then he suddenly reappears at my house wanting to renew the friendship, and the manipulation started again. He really makes me feel bad about myself. So I just won't talk to him anymore. Thanks to everyone who is helping me stay strong right now.

Hang in there!!! Things should start getting better from here on in!!
I hope you never have to go through any more drama with this person again!!! (((((Hugs)))))

I just want to say were always here to listen and hang in there.

((HUGS))
I know where you are coming from and if you need to vent you can PM me

thanks Rachel - I wish meebo was working

UGH!!! Making those significant changes in my life sends me reeling, too....I am so used to functioning in the toxic way with a toxic person, I literally get vertigo when I let go. Stand your ground, and be carefull not to unwittingly stuff that empty space with someone or something else toxic. That's the hard part for me.

I think it is hard facing change, esp. when people are involved. I've eliminated a few toxic people. Try and focus on the fact that this is a positive change, and in a few days, you will wonder why you did not do it a long time ago.

As stupid as this sounds, "This too shall pass!"

Sorry that you are feeling like crapola, try to remember that it shall pass and you will feel good again....just another pothole in the road. It's tough ending relationships that are toxic, kudos to you heretic! Hang in there and lean on us that's what we are all here for....(((hugs)))
