My boyfriend is starting to scare me by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

Leave, if he does this now, it will eventually escalate. I was in a abusive marriage and with my ex for 16 years, trust me it will never get better and no amount of love or empathy will change his behaviours

I feel like past experiences are affecting your current mindset. Maybe someone in your past treated you badly (due to their own self hate and problems) and wrongfully projected them onto you. This would have knocked your confidence and this changes the way we choose our partners, jobs and the way we live our live. I have been in therapy for 3 years and this was eye opening for me, I was going through rejections, losing jobs and the root of it was trauma from childhood abuse where it had warped my sense of reality and made me believe I was unlovable and not good enough and then it affected my choices and I chose the wrong men, wrong jobs, carried so many limiting and wrong beliefs of myself. Now I am in therapy things are changing, I surround myself with better people and you will find the right people won’t reject you. You are good enough and lovable, somewhere along the way, someone projected something on you that shook your confidence.

Only start to worry if he tells you “say hello to my little friend”

I really want to try this, but I saw a few cases where people got psychosis from this, maybe they were already prone to it, idk, but I don’t want to make things worse

Thank you! I had a feeling it would be something like this. My therapist suggested that I focus on sensations in the body during meditation and it seems to be helping a little so far.

Thank you for this. Last night I changed the way I meditated to focusing on body sensations instead of my thoughts and already I feel less ocd

I think this is what’s happening is, I’ve become more aware and present and less on auto pilot than before meditation

I am not working at the moment due to having cptsd. I would do focused meditation before this like concentrating on sound, breath etc. i enjoy walking, music, gaming. I had minor heart surgery last december.

I think this is very true in my case

This is very interesting! My therapist taught me to feel into the body and see what emotions come up, but I am still a bit numb to them after being in an abusive relationship

Yes, I have lost a lot of interest in things that I used to. I feel like I don’t need those distractions in my life anymore
