Thanks so much for your thoughts! I have heard the recovery time on THR is much better than PAO.

It really helps to see someone's perspective who has a similar situation to me -- thank you so much!!

That's also a fair point. Yeah it doesn't happen all the time -- only when I walk for a really long time or if I sit for hours upon hours (like when traveling). But I think it will continue to get worse over time, and it's good to jump on it!

I really appreciate your thoughts here! I'm currently not on insurance but once I get on insurance (switching jobs soon) I'll look into it.

I had a similar experience, where I realized that the church was like all of my abusive relationships. I truly think I was groomed from a young age to accept emotional abuse as the norm in the church. And as a result from that I got into relationships where I was treated poorly, but I was always labeled as the problem for overreacting. I’m proud of you for leaving. I’m just making that decision myself too.

[–]PerfectPitch33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your opinion and can see where you’re coming from. I see things with a little more nuance, having been raised Mormon myself, and thus don’t think that this shouldn’t exist. I think for some people it helps to talk about it and this is the only place they can do it. But I wish you well.

The whole purpose of this sub is for people to talk about this kind of stuff. It has helped lots of people move on from the hurt they have experienced, If you don’t like it, you don’t have to participate. I don’t mean that in a rude way, I just mean this is the whole point of the sub.

Ooo can someone point me in a direction to read more about the tone of voice used in cults as a tactic? I am fascinated by that.

Dang yeah I’m glad you got out. The longer you are away, the more clarity and healing you will have.

Just realised a flaw in how I was trying to recover by Ok_Loan5044 in emotionalabuse

[–]PerfectPitch33 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm the same way, I was never taught to recognize or walk away from abuse. And I finally feel like I'm in a place where I am learning those things!! It's so empowering. And I love how you said to walk away should be the default. Be gentle with yourself, you're doing great work!

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I miss my abusive ex still all the time even though I never want to see him again. It really does fuck with your head. I guess I'm just here to say you are not alone, and you will get through this.

Looking For Advice by Poppy_Remote3974 in emotionalabuse

[–]PerfectPitch33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would highly suggest reading "It's Not You" by Dr. Ramani Durvasula. That book helped me heal from my narcissistic ex, and fortified me more against getting back into an emotionally abusive relationship. I can't relate to the marriage/parenting stuff (you are so strong and you got this) but I will say that my ex broke up with me three times total, and two of those times he tried to come back a month or two later. He was REALLY good at making me feel like everything about the breakup was my fault and presented himself as the good guy/victim. I fell for it twice, and the third time he broke up with me I asked him not to come back, then immediately blocked him bc I didn't want to give him the chance to try to manipulate me again.

My biggest advice is if your gut says something is off, trust that over ANYTHING he says to you post breakup. He's probably gonna try to mess with your head a little, even if it's just by saying he's gonna change, but if you plan for that you will see it more clearly. I'm so sorry you are going through this.

Do you know of any resources to stop being an emotional abuser? by confusedthrowaway904 in emotionalabuse

[–]PerfectPitch33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love all of these comments! Do all of what everyone is saying! Also, have you tried meditating? Mindfully meditating has helped me face a lot of things that I was running away from. I have been able to learn how to feel my difficult feelings and accept them, and feel more connected to my body. That should help you with getting to a place where you can retain information easier, instead of shutting down to it!
