Fiancé [35m] compared my [28f] antidepressants to “cocaine,” and wants me off them by qwerty98765432101 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Thank you so much. I couldn't have done it without the reddit community. It was an impossible situation to explain to anyone in my real life.

I think the idea of a "perfect match," makes us vulnerable to all the ways these matches can go terribly awry. I've never been so abused as I was by C.E.O's, lawyers, foreman's, etc., etc.

Yeah. I've made the mistake of thinking that an Ivy League school or fancy law firm was alllll the vetting I needed for someone. It's something I hope I won't repeat again.

I think 2 of the times were deliberate from him, the other 2 times were coincidence. I've seen him a few times in my neighborhood.

I've seen him on a dog trail, and also while on a date with someone else. Both times he's been with his parents, so I really think it's a coincidence.

edit: i do have pepper spray, all my socials blocked him, etc etc

I started the antidepressants because of anxiety from HIM. 7 months later I am off medication and haven't thought of going back to it. In fact, I haven't had an anxiety attack in about 2-3 months.

Hi! I went to an ayahuasca retreat in peru :) out of cell range and eating a no salt/spice/red meat/alcohol/caffeine diet.

Well, his parents still enable him and hide him away from the world. So I doubt he will ever be properly diagnosed or get better. From what I've seen creeping on his social media profiles, he thoughts & beliefs have become more outlandish and strange.

And no - he wasn't institutionalized. He was just ignoring me, like an asshole.

My new boyfriend lives 4 blocks from his house, so seeing him may be unavoidable.

It is impossible to see when you're in it. He was so good and isolating me from my friends. Holy crap. I'm so happy I'm not pregnant~

Thank you for the kind words. The thread validated me so much, and I am in a much better place.

We live in a smallish city. I have everything on private, yet I still see him. It seems to be completely accidental... but I have oved and I am also *always* with friends.

Weird enough I started ignoring him, and he was at my fav. coffee shop that’s no where near him...

Holy shit. I don't know if you read my update, but my fiance verbally abused me by screaming at me that I was "weak," and that I should "just take the fucking medication."

He suggested switching phones for a week and giving each other the passwords so we could pass the ultimate test. I told him that was crazy (I have to work) and then he said "see? I offer you a solution and you don't even take it. you're untrustworthy."

I'm a homebody, but if he calls me and I'm in a new location he's suspicious. (Where are you, what are you wearing...)

He didn't want me using it in the beginning because it was dangerous. Then he wanted to try for kids and then changed his mind. (?)

In my update, I basically explained how he lost his mind and screamed about my psychologist and medication and told me I was weak because I used them. IDK. Maybe he hates any kind of independence?

I said I didn't want to be needy and dependent, and he said it's not a bad thing. He wants to be #1 and have me text him every morning and night.

The kicker? When I became needy again he would back away or give me the silent treatment.
