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 having such a hard time today focusing on me. I got a poke from the ex yesterday in that fact that he had a mutual friend text me a picture of him. As I am learning about boundaries I told our friend NO MORE and please stop. Thank God this man is across the country. I am confused and lonely and wonder if I will ever find another relationship. Today I am going to a volunteer job that I started last week hoping to open up my social circle a bit. I don't understand why I am feeling this way today. My counselor at the DV agency I go to says it takes time. Being closely connected to this site helps me so much and I have to remember the abuse and how it affected me every day. Right? I just feel so stressed out and anxious today. Maybe its a good thing I am going to my volunteer job.
Keep trying to focus on you. It is a huge waste of your life to focus on him. Do something that you would enjoy, just for you. Even if it is reading a book, watching a movie, or taking your precious little dog for a walk.
I wish you the best of luck and you need to heal before you start looking for a relationship. Just take it slow.

You will have moments like this, but coming here and venting is a good way to deal with them. And they will get fewer and fewer.
Please continue,
at every moment,
to attempt to
practice SELF-CARE.
If you do that consistantly
over time, you'll start to
find it easier to focus
on YOU. Doing this
is NOT selfish.
It's HEALTHY.
