sky_eyes: As much as I'd love to stay and chat some more...it's almost 4am here and I need to rest. Insomnia sucks! Always tired but never enough to sleep. Feel free to drop me a line sometime though. I do get a bit lonely.
sky_eyes: I know this is going to sound really boring but the incident with my ex-boyfriend.....he got rid of most of my friends so most of my socializing is on the net.....with exception to 3 or 4 people. You know, the shocking thing in all of this for me......the reason I haven't totally given up.........the person I thought wouldn't care I was being hurt......my ex-husband.....he's the one who rescued me and took me to a hospital.....not that I want him back cuz that's not the case....but he rescued me when no one else would. that's love! although we aren't going down that aisle again. screw that. one time was enough....lol.....anyways, i was mainly trying to get at that counselors suck and i might not need counselling if i actually had someone to talk to.
well... for one, talk is cheap, so im sure you'll have no trouble finding someone to talk to...
that being said, if what you say is accurate and you have in fact gone through such an ordeal... and im only saying that because, yes people have come in here with all kinds of crazy stories in the past, just to get attention or create some mayhem... then counseling may be a good choice. in my experience (no i havent been beaten but i've met lots who have), those who fall victim to such situations are many times unaware that they actually "invite" or look for people who will do that to them. and breaking that pattern is hard... the first part of it is realizing that you have an issue in that regard ... once you realize that, you can break the cycle by "fixing" you, then the rest will fall in place

I do not invite chaos. I am not to blame for what happened to me. So don't tell me it must've been how I act or dress. Or whatever you can drum up in your mind. I am a normal human being...I dress, talk and walk the same as everyone else. A guy hurt me.....it's not my fault. It's the guy's because of whatever....how he was raised, things he saw people do or say..

no need to get defensive... you brought up an issue, i offered my opinion based on what i know... and i wasnt saying that YOU invited anything, i said that commonly victims of abusers seek those kinds of people... i dont know you and dont know how you met.... but if he is the kind that beats up people, then he would have shown a pattern (unless he is very good at hidding it, tho i havent come across one that can), and if the red flags were there, then either you didnt see them, when most others would have or you ignored them, where most others wouldnt have....
but yes i could be completely off base... im just throwing a guess based on what i've seen ... thats all....
and btw you are the one saying that you wanted people to talk to, so im talking... if you dont want to hear what i (or others) have to say you may want to consider not asking !!!!! notice that im not directly attacking you or accusing you of anything here.... im just offering a different perspective
Englishman55: So true.... only problems to be found at the bottom of the glass... not solutions !
speak for yourself bro.... after some of the stuff i have and i am going through... and if everything comes out right....immma drink myself into a stupor in Vegas.... nothing like a hangover to make you forget all your stresses !!!!
I'm not defensive.....I am just sharing......you came in kinda late is all. I was getting ready for bed. 4am isn't normally this pleasant to me. Anyways, I've already said my good-nights so I'm leaving. I'll be back later in the day.

Makes you forget the stresses and problems, but doesn't solve them, which was my point ! They will still be there when the hangover fades !
I too, do the same, but it's never worked for me yet. Hell of a lot of fun trying though !

im not looking for the beers to solve the problems...im taking care of that on my own.... but solving the tense and stressed out mess i am can definitely be accomplished with a beer... or 20 !!!!
