And End of an Era

[Dream6]

My ex is officially cut. He literally said "get help." He said so many harsh things and used my mental health as a low blow. I never sprung nor showed my struggles to him. And had the audacity to say everything that he did. The point of this post is, if you have someone in your life that uses your own mental health against you- CUT THEM OUT OF YOUR LIFE. KEEP YOUR PEACE.

I was so down in the gutter all weekend, but today is a fresh new start to my healing journey and I'm pretty excited. I have my oldest friends coming over whom I haven't seen in years. To new beginnings and real friendships.

I know I come off here sometimes so depressing and then so positive. I just want to spread some love as we ride our waves.

Keep being strong.

Stay ultra strong.

I will never let people use me again in any form or fashion

I used a recent break up and rock bottom crash to reconnect with some old friends and my siblings. Theyve been a wonderful addition to my life and have been so supportive. I'm sorry you had to go through all that with your ex. I'm proud of you for taking the step to cut a SO out of your life. It is NOT easy. I happy for you that you have old friends in your life and wish you well as you continue your healing journey.

I wish in some ways that I still had that fire in me. I divorced at 28 and was so sure of the decision. Any previous bf was treated the same way. When I'm done, I'm done. Now I am struggling with staying in my second marriage. There has been so much pain. But I still want to make it work. Even with feeling like I deserve better. Good for you, being fearless.

I wish I was as brave as you. I need to walk away, but I don’t know how.

I wish I could walk away from my marriage. I can't. I literally have no friends or family that care. My husband is manipulate. I just woke up with anxiety and I am always alone. Always. I have been isolated for 13 years now. I am glad you have that fire. I am 52 and tired.

Same here. Can't leave now for some reasons but always alone in my struggles. We got it.

It is really hard, because I can't see anything changing. I devoted my entire life to change and break generational trauma. I was the first to graduate college, lived on my own since 18, just to literally be worse off than my grandmother and mom. I have reached out for help over and over to get turned down. I don't get life. I am only 52, but feel 80. I have lived my life and I have done all the work, and I am ready to go home.

Please we love you here. I believe there is hope. Things will definitely turn around.

[Teaching]

I'm glad you are picking yourself up. Do it for yourself and people that genuinely love you.

Good riddance - what a jerky thing he did. Glad you are feeling better. Here's to brighter days!

Leave the door open for repentance and reconciliation.
