So confused - mental health problems

28 replies

Newmumoct20 · 24/05/2022 18:44

I’m a first time mum, my little one is 18 months old. I’ve always suffered with mental health problems but lately it’s been really bad. My confidence is in pieces, I’ve started avoided leaving the house and sometimes, despite how blessed I know I am with my son, I feel like giving up.

im in a relationship but it’s not great. He says that my mental health problems are boring, he’s fed up of me being anxious. I’m always being called a looney, saying I’m like characters off the TV or movies that we watch that are messed up. He says I’m boring, that I’m getting fatter by the day, that I’m always miserable, and that if I don’t sort myself out I’ll put it on my son and make him sick too.

im on medication and most of the time I feel ok, but lately the problems in my relationship are really getting to me and I literally feel like my head is broken.

anyone else feel like this? I feel so alone.

So today and this week, a new thing…. I’m fat, I need to loose my tummy, I’m as fat as his ex and he told her she needed to loose weight too, I walk around looking like I’m pregnant, he still fancies me but that’s cos he loves me… I’m in pieces. Yes I’m overweight, yes I comfort eat and I have IBS and I’m bloated all the time but I didn’t think someone I love could be so cruel. He’s says he’s telling me for my own good 🥲

He’s not telling you for your own good. He’s trying to destroy your confidence and control you.
You do need to shed some useless pounds. HIM!

I dated a man like this. Ditched him when he started saying these things...all my friends think you're ugly..I asked his friends they were shocked. Its just his way of keeping you down so he can continue living in your house . No wonder your MH is rock bottom. The worse it gets the more he will blame you and round and round you go till you are a husk of a person with no ability to push back or leave.

Get support now get rid of him. You can seek support for your MH all day long but as long as he is there nothing will change.

Take ownership of your life. He is abusive and nothing will change. It will only get worse.
