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.
I am not seeking advice or sympathy. I just need to post this so that I can try to get it off my mind.
I don't have a car or driver's license, so I walk or use public transportation for travel. I would fix this problem if I were financially able to do so.
I frequently encounter strangers who loiter on the sidewalks and at transit stops. They don't seem to be there to wait for someone or to catch a bus. They don't seem to be there for any reason at all.
Many of these people think that it's perfectly acceptable to abuse strangers who walk by them on the sidewalks or who are waiting for a bus at a bus stop.
The verbal abuse ranges from name calling to death threats. They often seem to want to pick fights.
I am 41 years old; I am not in a mind set to fight with these disgruntled/disturbed individuals. I just want to go about getting to where I need to go.
The abuse seems to come in waves; some days there is none, and other days I am abused to the point of becoming depressed, anxious, and sometimes suicidal.
I am an survivor of child abuse, and when I escaped my abusive family, I seem to have simply entered a larger abusive society.
My only way of coping is to isolate myself in my room for several days until I can recover.
Please don't anyone even mention calling the police - the police are a sick joke here in San Diego.
I just need to express this. That's all. Thank you for reading.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I'm sorry people are treating you this way. Some people are real bums, dont let them get you down. Just because they have such pitiful self image that they have to stand randomly around and shout things at strangers, that does not mean you should feel bad. they're nobodies, and ur a wonderful somebody. Dont lock urself away in isolation, that makes anxiety ten times worse.
