Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Sweetheart, it sounds like you need to cut this man out of your life.
I know how hard this will be with him being your neighbor.
But It CAN be done. I became very good friends with my next door neighbor twenty years ago. (1987) He used my weaken state of mind to bully me mercilessly. He ridiculed me on a daily basis. Being depressed and vulnerable, I took his abuse for YEARS.
I thought I deserved it. When I got well, I went to this man and confronted him. He said that he was "Just Kidding"...................
Now the things he said to me were beyond cruel. He told me I was Ugly. That I was Fat. (I was about 100lbs and battling an ED)
He told me I was useless and A Horrible mother. (God, THAT hurt)
He told me I was not "Good Enough" to be his friend.
He told me not to bother praying because God would never waste
His time on someone like me............................
Anyway, I recovered from my depression, And I have not spoken to this man for almost two years. Even though he still holds out hope that I will forgive him.........
I will never let him into my life again.
Sweetheart, I know that my situation is different from yours because I was not romantically involved.
BUT...........The pain of being hurt still remains.
You CAN eliminate him from your life even with him living so close to you.
I really hope that you do that. Because he will keep hurting you.
((((((HUGS))))))
Please don't let him use you.
Be strong and look elsewhere for love.
Best Wishes To You Dear Girl ;-)
