    Being verbally/emotionally/physically/sexually abused by my ex, as well as being cheated on and lied to countless times. It took many, many attempts to leave due to his unpredictable behavior, but I finally got away almost a year ago. It was hell, I still have nightmares and any nearby movement startles me.

    Girlfriend died of overdose. Mutual friend called me at work to tell me. Numb the rest of the day, asked boss for the week off. Got drunk, broke down, loaded shotgun then watched whole lord of the rings trilogy til I passed out.
    Her family didn't let me go to her service, family only because they were ashamed she used drugs and tried to cover it up. They always made her feel like shit.
    Upside was my boss had secretly used his own vacation days for my time off (I was out) so I got a full paycheck.

    I’ve been through a lot of pain my whole life, but I would say when my psychotic brother killed my dog and my narcissistic parents tried to gaslight as if he didn’t but then they also love when I’m at my weakest so they started throwing out his stuff as if he never existed literally hours after putting him down, then calling my sister and I weak and dramatic for grieving his death still 8 hrs after he died. We had him for 12 years and I can honestly say he was thee only reason I survived the ton of shit in my life.
    Edit: thank you to those who shared kindness. To those who are skeptic about it that’s fine but please don’t troll seriously wtf I can see why people commit suicide they’re going through so much chaos and one sh*tty comment only confirms their lack of hope in this world.

    I had severe mental abuse growing up, to the point that it caused brain damage. It used to be widely known that this could happen, but eventually it was discovered that mental illness can be caused by chemical imbalance. The pharmaceutical industry emphasizes this, but people need to know that abuse can cause it as well. Kids need to have 2 parents so they can check each other & keep each other from taking things too far. If the abuse you are receiving is giving you frequent headaches, you need to get out of that situation.

      I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you have sought aid for that damage. I totally agree. I have been extremely mentally and emotionally abused and I went from someone who had a very sharp mind to somebody who lost their sanity many times and was unable to even think for myself. I gained my autonomy thank goodness but I know for sure that I underwent brain damage due to it.

    "It turns out you're only good on paper." That's probably the one line from my ex girlfriend's Dear John letter that still screws with my head a little even after almost 3 years of her dumping me. I admit I wasn't exactly the greatest boyfriend ever, but even our mutual friends (who are now solely my friends because she ended up cutting them off too lmao) agree that line was tossed in there just to hurt me. And to be honest, it sure did that damn job perfectly.

    I'm personally still going through it. I remembered some horrible abuse in my childhood a few years ago and I haven't been the same since.
    The worst of it, is that my mom is a horrible person who didn't believe me, talked to multiple attackers of mine to get their side of the story, and then proceeded to call up anyone and everyone saying how I was molested so she could get sympathy when it wasn't molestation- it was multiple times of being gang raped and pimped out by her friends and her friends' kids. Those kids who would abuse me, would take CP of me and use it to make fun of me with their group of friends. I was 7 when it first happened and at least until I was 12 (I'm now 29) kids were still making fun of me for it. One of the kids who use to make fun of my CP is now married to a coworker of mine and he won't stop staring at me whenever he comes in and eats with her. Granted after our most recent interaction together is where he complimented my dress and I thanked him in a not so nice way and since then he hasn't been coming in, but I still have such anger towards him and any of the kids making fun of my CP and towards my abusers. Even if I am mistaken and he has no idea about any of that, I still didn't like how he stared at me.
    I don't like anyone staring at me now because I always jump to the conclusion that guys stare at me because of my CP or the 'parties' that I was sexually a part of as a kid or something along the lines of my abuse. Especially now that I'm back in the town when it all happened and no one gave a shit. I was just "a slutty 7 year old" that had to repress everything and then everyone else forgot too.

    When I was five years old, my best friends both left me all by myself. I was alone for the rest of the year, and I was so devoid of friendship and communication that I was ready to become friends with absolutely anyone or anything. I ended up with two toxic friends. They were extremely rude and took advantage of me being so quick to forgive. The last straw was when one of my "friends" screamed at me for hours to respect my religion as she openly bashed mine. I haven't properly talked to her or the other friend after that. About 2-3 weeks later, my 96 year old (amazing) neighbor died of the Coronavirus. It was long after that that I found out the people I lived with hadn't been my parents, but my grandparents. I found out that my sister is actually my mother, and that my dad had divorced for no reason. I also learned that I had a brother who was taken by my father because he wasn't my mom's child, but the last (and now dead) mom's. My friend that I've had practically since we were both born has become a very mean person who isn't fun to interact with anymore. I confessed my love to a girl about a year younger than me, and she accepted. A month later she broke up but said we could still be friends. I'm just glad that we're still friends, and she's all I have. I am a very suicidal person, and if it wasn't for her, I don't know how I would've managed to keep going.
    I am jealous of everyone who has a neighbor and friends instead a grave to visit and memories to hide.

    Worst emotional pain has to be clinical depression for me. I've been through things man, but fucking hell, depression hurts more than I could ever put in words. I tried to take my life (obvs failed, tho i wish it succeeded) and it's a difficult thing to deal with. It's a proper mental illness. I've never dealt with something this bad in my life.

    School and work has made me move so many times I'm starting to just kinda give up on knowing people. "Well, you're gonna be gone in 3-12 months, so why bother?". Not like a conscious choice, but you just start feeling very unmotivated to meet people anymore or to try to keep in touch.
    Hardly the worst thing that happened to me, but I thought maybe a lot of people feel this way.

    For me, it's seeing one of my ex girlfriends getting shot and killed by the police. We were going steady for 2 years until she met this dude who got her hooked on heroine. I didn't find out until about a month after she started when one of her friends came to me and said she saw her with a known addict going under a bridge while I was waiting for her at her house. I went to confront her and she kept apologizing and said she wants to quit. So I tried helping her but she always made excuses to get away from the treatment to shoot up. One day I just said "F*** it! If you don't want to try to get clean I'm not wasting my time anymore!" and dumped her. Just a week later I got a call fro her friend saying she was killed my the police after she was brandishing a shotgun in their face while high off her mind. Apparently she was with the guy she was shooting up with and they were trying to rob a liquor store when he gave her the gun and bolted when he heard the cop sirens. I looked at the bodycam footage and it was the most gut wrenching thing I had ever saw. I know it wasn't my fault but I still feel a little responsible for not trying harder. I since moved on and now married to a wonderful woman with 2 daughters but on occasion I still get nightmares where I replay that footage in my head.

    It's not that my mother is an awful person who I've gone no contract with. It's that every time someone learns of it they try to convince me to give my mother a second chance. It leaves me feeling isolated and that my emotional well being is secondary to my mother's. The emotional grinding caused by people caring more about my emotionally abusive mother than the hurt person in front of them makes me feel smaller and worthless more than my mother ever made me

      You are worth as much as the woman that birthed you.
      Every chance that others want to give her is equal to a chance for you to never let her do wrong by you again.
      Your possibility for happiness is as important as the air you breathe and nly exceptional parents get to keep their children when they are autonomous enough to make the decision.
      You don't have to dislike her. She doesn't have to be a total monster. Once you know she isn't a part of your healthy future that is all that matters. Choose to save yourself because you are more than her kid.
      You don't have to hate an addict causing a scene in public to know you would be happier not seeing them tomorrow this is true for every other thing. This is your life she had your childhood to win a place in your adulthood; family are the people you pick and you are NOT obliged to pick her.
      You and everything you chose to further your best life is valid, anyone who says different needs only one responce: "I'm not interested" then hang up/ walk away/ block for a little while; train them to respect you back.
      You grew in your mother, you are not a growth on her. You are vaild completely separate and independent from that woman. She can be a stranger if that is what you need.
      You are important. Anyone who doesn't realize that doesn't deserve you.

    Either coming to terms with how awful my past was, or finding out one of my friends had died last year
    I had just started hanging out with someone at the beginning of last year. His name was Gage. He was an African-American college student that had graduated last year. Before covid, we hang out a lot and went to places I thought I could never go to, because I've been sheltered most of my life. I wanted to reunite with him, when Covid ended, but...
    When he was alive, he suffered from Epilepsy. Thankfully, I know first aid and how to care for someone when someone has a seizure. Sadly, he had one, in the summer of last year when he was home alone (his mom was at work) and he must've hit his head hard against something and died. His mom called me and... I can never reunite with him.

    Kid died in the womb, gf from 13 to 24 killed herself. Always knew she was at high risk due to receiving severe child abuse and being left with intense and probably permanent chronic pains from it. Feel really guilty about it. I hate her family for it, and the police, and the school, and the CPS, but I still feel like there were several things I could have done about it. Even the solutions involving prison time, I feel intensely guilty for not taking.
