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.
As the weekend approaches...my anxiety starts rising. I know I was abused. I know this is not a normal person. But I can't wrap my head around causing so much PAIN to someone...anyone...even someone you don't love and act like you didn't do a damn thing wrong. And then immediately go out and start the process right up again with someone new. I am impatient. I want her to see the real him now. I don't want him to get what he wants yet again. It is unhealthy to even still be thinking about him...but I can't stop.
I hope I can hold it together for just this one weekend......
Here are a few self-care things you can do to get you thru these times. Practice mindfulness, meditation or prayer. Listen to guided imagery. Check out youtube or search any of what I've mentioned and you will find lots of stuff for free.
I hope you are you seeing a trauma recovery therapist to help your with healing. If there any abuse recovery support groups in your area, please take advantage of them. It helps to have someone to talk to & to validate what you're going thru.
It also helps to do stream of consciousness/free writing. It's like journaling but you don't pay attention to making complete sentences. Here is a link that explains it in 3 minutes. You can do this any time of day or night. http://juliacameronlive.com/basic-tools/morning-pages/http://juliacameronlive.com/basic-tools/morning-pages/
Practicing self care is critical, especially now, so please take good care of you!!!
