Mental Health Support
Related: About this forumFeeling kind of proud of myself.
The last few years, a large group of people including a couple of celebrities and my family of origin, have worked together in an effort to bully me into suicide, using social media.
I finally had the presence of mind to go no contact with all of my family of origin and shut all the doors in social media to stymy the efforts of the celebrities and their flying monkeys to murder me by making me commit suicide.
Im proud of myself for shutting those toxic people out of my life now and practicing loving self-care instead.
That is a big accomplishment for someone coming from an abusive family.
We usually take all the abuse and come back for more.

(14,308 posts)I recently went through a horrific end to an abusive relationship I wasn't really facing, she tried to strangle me 3 times over 2 different nights. This led to me getting trauma therapy through my college and FINALLY the right person to really go for it and help me DIG into the family dynamics that set me up to allow/accept that treatment.
My parents are both gone, and while I have made peace with them as elderly folks and love and miss them...I can still look at the generational dynamic of bullshit that rolled downhill at took me in it's wake.
So congrats for not succumbing to the pressure of others bullshit and abuse! Glad you are here to weather another year Even though the next 4 years will be bumpy to say the least.

Sending big virtual hugs and loving support! Good for you!!!
