It's great that financial abuse is recognised now. It was just coming in when I got out and I didn't go down that path. He took tens and tens of thousands from me to try and leave me unable to get a place of my own and leave.
The police like I said were absolutely amazing and I think were pleased to have someone who was able to go to court and not back down etc

Well done for getting free of her? Him?

I'd pay all that money and more again to not have him underfoot
Am quite certifiably naive. Or needy.. Or I was

Wiped out by someone - didn't realise she had an enormous gambling problem

"I've won £100" but I didn't realise at first that it took £1000 to do so.

Had a spell of wanting to take her down / help. And to hide it she continued to fuck me over.

Police were all over me for a bit until they rang one day and said yep that was shit mate sorry

Still naive and still miss her 3 years on as am gormless

Maybe I can't be bothered. There's nicer people in life
Oh well

Not a place to admit to life. I open up far too much and then worry to hell about all these people

There's a lot who'll post and then disappear. What happened to them?

Just who gives a shit.

It's an unbelievable place. Just bloody talk

And if you don't like me

Just bloody talk.
..

Just will you talk

We're not all living the SMB dream of being millionaires

Sometimes we want to help people that have hurt us because that’s our nature wanting to see the good in people.

It must of been absolutely awful for you.

Don’t be worrying about opening up and I’m definitely not an SMB millionaire 😂

Yeah your right , I always try to see the best in people and that has bit me in the arse at times.
 
Yep. That’s exactly what happened to me for two weeks. Feels like you’re going mental. Well, more mental 😂.

I stuck with it and the side effects stop pretty sharply. Feel normal now, which is probably what they are supposed to do.
Is it right that most anti depressants give you the shits at first? If so I'll have to wait until the end of the month to start them when I'm off work for a couple of weeks.

Not sure mate. I often have the shits anyway cos my diet is absolutely pathetic. 😂 it’s not something I particularly remember, but the head feeling twice it’s size deffo is. The dr warned that they might make you feel suicidal for a few weeks but luckily I’ve never had any inclination that way, having kids.

Edit; I do remember that I had to take a few days off tattooing because no way was I 100% confident in my motor functions.

Hmm. I've been feeling suicidal recently. Last Saturday night being a real low point. I have kids too which I do think is the only thing that stopped me. I am guessing I should tell my GP that I've been feeling that way already.

Definitely bruv. That’s proper shan and I’m really sorry. I know it’s been said a million times but keep talking. I’m lucky that I have a best mate who’s always available and wants to see me happy.

I haven’t had the shits but my stomach has felt like that’s where it was heading.

You absolutely need to say something mate. I didn’t want to but I’m pleased I did.

You said something to your GP? I've told our lass but due to the situation being what it is with us that's done more harm than good. I'm supposed to be going out next week with my best mate and I'm torn whether to tell him. He knows what's going on between me and our lass but doesn't know just how bad I was feeling leading up to that or how much more intense it's got in recent weeks.

I had to mate. I’ve got a 5 month old and felt like I had to do it for him and promised my lass I would once I’d told her.

I’ve lost my dad and father in law to suicide as well so didn’t want to let things get behind my own control.

I would definitely advise talking to your mate though and if not, my DM’s are open.

If he’s your best mate I’d say have a chat. I’ve known my best friend since we were in nursery and he’s been an absolute rock for four years since my marriage went tits up. I just needed to get it out and stopped worrying about looking pathetic. Problem with telling the ex is they might think it’s a ploy to get them back, and not being believed is heartbreaking.
 
Evening,

The last 8 weeks have been beyond despair.

Like nothing I've ever experienced. And it's been bad before

Where to turn? I haven't a clue. Everyone I try to contact just ignores me or says they have it worse.

Clinging on. I feel like screaming

So I don't and just cry at times

Who have you tried contacting out of curiosity? Friends, family and/or a professional mental health service?

Have you tried the samaritans?
Keep going, how you feel now won't last forever.
I was in a shocking way a couple of Fridays ago and couldn't see a way out so considered suicide. I spoke to my mate and he said don't be so f****** stupid and that I was using a permanent solution to tackle a temporary problem.

Hmm yeah, Samaritans - after the third "poor you" I hung up and wound up at A&E that night so won't do that again.

But Jesus man what brought you to that point

You did good.

Sometimes my brother on occasion and a poster on here have kept me alive. It's been that bad.

I've walked the house trying to figure out where I could fix myself to

Mate hope you in a better place at the minute.

You have done so well mate and it's a disgrace the hoops you have to jump through before help is offered and that is heartbreaking.

You've done well too. I'll dig some stuff out later that might help you
