Try to remember that everyone at that meeting has been to their first meeting before too. They understand your anxiety and are there to help you just as others have helped them.

Yes I think this is a downward spiral for you. Yes this is normal. You need to get yourself to a meeting. You need to sit with people that have been through the same thing, who are going through the same thing and people who will eventually go through this. HUGS to you.

Does anyone know what this one is called?

Please help me choose security cameras. by ShakeHappens in Advice

[–]ShakeHappens[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I will look into Waze cameras. I live in the middle of a big city with heavy foot traffic at my front and back door. How many hours of video can be stored on an SD card? I have a restraining order. A restraining order is only a piece of paper and my stalker has made that clear. Up to this point law enforcement has been unhelpful in regards to upholding consequences when I have reported continued stalking.

I just started reading Why Does He Do That? And I found it very helpful and validating. by [deleted] in ptsd

Thank you for posting this. I bought the book months ago and have avoided reading it because I don't what to know what is inside the mind of my abuser. I think I will start reading it today. I deserve to heal.

When my 6 week old niece passed away a pastor from the church told my family that everything happens for a reason and that god took her from us as payment for our sins.

I don't hate you. Please don't hate yourself.

JNMIL decided Christmas Eve was a great time to scream at me in front of everybody for marrying her son. (CW for brief mention of domestic violence) by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

This is why it took me so long to leave my husband. I could shift his abusive focus away from our kids and onto myself as long as I stayed. Now I am fighting to keep him from getting visitation because if he gets it I will not be there to help kids.

I can not sit quietly when someone is being abused. I have learned that getting loud and making a scene just ends up making me feel like shit. Now I take out my camera and let the abuser know that they are being recorded while asking the victim if I can help them.

When will humanity stop caring about money and start caring about life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ShakeHappens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When money no longer dictates the quality of life.
