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.
I have been debating to leave my boyfriend of 6 years. After 2 years of being with him he told me to quit work that he would take care of me. Yeah, it sounded good at first now it's awful. He became very controlling still is and I want to leave. Problem is I have no money and my car is broke. Scared of what will happen if I do leave. He has alienated my whole family so I have no one to talk too. Oh I have no friends either. This sucks! I cry all the time and want to come out and ask him for money to leave but I'm scared too! He has stripped me of my self totally. Once a very outgoing strong woman now weak vulnerable and self- conscious! I feel lower than low. Please advice help

What's the most overrated scripted* tv show, in your opinion?*Scrpited, meaning a drama or comedy series - not reality shows, game shows, court shows, talk shows, variety shows, etc. (well, technically talk shows and variety shows often do have writers as well, but for this exercise we're just talking about shows that have both scripts and actors acting out those scripts so really the only show...
"He has alienated my whole family so I have no one to talk too."
At a time when it is safe, call a candidate within this family and tell them you have been and are afraid of BF and you want to leave, but are too scared. Hopefully they will realize the problem they have is with him .... not you. Arrange a time for them to pick you up .... and give you shelter. If/when BF shows up, call the police. You may even be able to get a restraining order. As for retrieving your property, the police will probably escort you back to get your things. You may have to abandon the car if there is no one to help you get it back.
The only hitch is if no one in your family will do that much for you. In that case, the police are your only protection. The police will have to help you get out ... and then what? You are very much in a crisis situation ...... one that MAY somehow be illegal on his part. Can't prevent an adult from leaving .... not in this country. I think your problem is not so much in leaving but what you will do if you do leave. Hopefully, there will be more suggestions in other replies. Good luck to you.
I have no direct experience with this so I could be very wrong on this, I too hope someone with experience will chime in with suggestions.
