Ashamed and worthless, like I will never find my place in life

I found out someone from college passed away unexpectedly. My instant reaction was why not me. Do I value my life that little? In all honesty I do suffer from depression, stress, anxiety, ill stop there, ha but I don't really want to die. My life is far from perfect but it's mine.
I'm so sorry you feel that way Lane..I used to exactly feel that way. hugssss.. 🫂 🫂

Hello everyone
I was a regular here years ago when I was going through some difficult times. Over the last few years I was in a relationship that was fantastic for about a year before she started to reveal her true self. Manipulative behaviour, gaslighting, taking advantage of my low self-esteem, lying, silent treatment: all the greatest hits. It was always me that was in the wrong, me that had to change. And I did change but it still wasn't enough. I attempted suicide several times over the last few years because she drove me to despair, I have been sectioned and monitored daily by the crisis team. I did eventually realise that no matter what I did, she wasn't going to change her behaviour.

Now every day I am thankful that I am not waking up in fear of what she will do today, what she will blame me for, how she is going to stick a dagger in my heart and then go silent for the rest of the day just to make sure the pain lingers. I am living, for the first time in several years, without this pain, this fear.

So to sum up I am feeling pretty good today. Safe and secure in myself, open to the world and full of love for those around me. I'm lonely but that's okay, I think that will take care of itself in time, and if it doesn't, it doesn't.

I’m so glad you are feeling safe and secure in yourself. Wonderful!

Welcome back to the forum @Astray and thank you for sharing your story. I'm glad that you are out of the toxic relationship. I hope it can help others to read and and heal from it too. You've been through a lot and I hope that you can continue to feel well without all the negativity hanging over you. Glad to have you back at SF. *console
