Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
Hi my name is Lauren and I could really use someone to talk to.
Several people have abused me, both physically and emotionally the last few years. Just one person after the other, coworkers, roommates, and people I thought were friends. Today I think I reached my breaking point Which is why Im here. I cant cope with it anymore and would really appreciate it if someone could exchange messages with me, as I am very much alone right now. I think the biggest problem behind this happening repeatedly is because I dont stand up for myself or fight back because it feels like Im no better than the abuser.

So sorry for what you've
been through.
Fighting back against
someone who is abusive
is seldom the best answer.
Think of it this way:
People who are
consistently abusive
are kind of like
"professionals."
People who find
themselves consistently
the target of abusive people,
are kind of like
"amateurs"
at "fighting back.
An amateur going
up against a professional
in the professional's
area of expertise
is seldom going
to come out
"the winner."
Your profile suggests
that you've been visiting
D.S. for awhile. If you've
been reading any of my
responses, or the responses
of others here on this forum,
you'll already know that
the next thing I'm going
to suggest is to connect
with your area's social services
and see if you can find a
qualified counselor or
theratpist to talk to.
That would probably be
a valuable thing for you
to do for yourself. It could
bring you benefit at THIS
point in time and it just
might help support your
well-being in the near
and distant future.
Even if you feel you don't
have the finances to do this,
the purpose of social services
is to provide resources for
those who might not otherwise
be able to get access to the
programs and services
that would help them.
I live in the U.S., but
my impression is that
your country has a pretty
respectable, if not enviable
track record on providing
help to whomever might
benefit from it. I hope
you'll at least consider
giving that a try.
Working with a qualified
therapist has helped many
of us, here. Speaking for
myself, I've gotten great
support when I've needed
it, from good counselors.
Bless them!
Please take good
care of yourself.
Sending hugs and
wishes for better things.
