There are a number of people who have the same reaction to not eating meat. They need it. Every body is different and some really need meat or they get sick. There wouldn't be things in meat that respond to the human body in a good way if we weren't supposed to ingest it...at least some of us...

Hey, it's proven...meat is addictive and we've come this far living on a diet of meat so it's not realistic to expect an entire world of people to just quit it. I think it's more realistic if people just cut back on their intake. If we all did that it would actually do a lot of good, and it's...

I appreciate the good work people like Leonardo Di Caprio and that other actor who went and became a beekeeper recently are doing to raise awareness. In America people place their celebrities on pedestals, so they will actually listen to them, even if politicians are retarded.

Free Range eggs don't mean the chickens aren't still locked up at night in a crowded filthy pen. They may be allowed to roam free during the day but they still live like caged sardines at night. I'm still not sure whether Veganism is actually the full solution, from an environmental...

Yes, there is no way of knowing if a product is 100% organic any more because of this...and I don't think anything can be organic anyway with the amount of crap in the soils to start with. Nothing is really pure and companies use a lot of sneaky language and legal loopholes to get around...

There are memes on facebook that share information of what flowers we can all grow in our own back yards that will attract bees to them. I'd love to get an actual hive and be a bee keeper at some point, but where I live now I don't know that my landlady would allow me to have one...I haven't...

That's how it's meant to be, yeah. Reality is a bitch though. Don't worry, I had to stop and think about it as well...wasn't sure they'd take victims of emotional abuse...and I've stayed in one before.

Yes, in my experience, friends and family (in the past, not so much now) were the worst for support. I found more compassion with strangers, sadly. That's the way it is for many many people unfortunately. Shouldn't be that way, but it is. It's all a bit backwards this world. I must have read it...

Yes, record everything, because if he decides to take it to court later and spin everything so you look like the bad guy at least you will have a reference to fall back on. It's good for your own sanity as well to write it down. Writing it down makes it more real so it's no longer 'just in your...

That's exactly right. Most victims of this form of abuse are warm hearted, kind and loving people. People like your husband are jealous. Envy is at the root of much of their behaviour.

It's not surprising. If that's the feedback you've received then how are you meant to know if anyone else will understand...but it's ok, we really do. Most of us here have been through it ourselves. It's one of the main reasons so many people have ptsd and other forms of mental illness.

Don't worry, you're not alone there. I just got myself out of one recently, and I felt the same things, and more. It's totally normal...but it's not your fault. You aren't stupid, you're addicted chemically and bonded to him. It's totally scientific why you are still with him. The video I...

Emotional Abuse 101: Why victims stay so long in abusive relationships. You can find it on the Self-care Haven you tube site. She's very well researched and offers so many wonderful insights. There is also a great book you can buy by Beverly Engel called :The emotionally abusive...

Here is a great vid that validates the reasons why victims of abuse stay so long. It might help...

The "It's very painful to be alone" thing is very common with people from that generation of your fathers. My mother was always drilling that into me from a young age...that i had to find a good man to marry as the alternative was unthinkable...being alone *gasp. Sure, it's not easy sometimes...

Great thread. I want to participate but it's late and I'm really sleepy and not quite ready to give my input here, as it's still quite fresh with the last person who pushed me away and I also kicked him out...with very good reason. Aaah...' love.' Self preservation is a wonderful thing...that's...

I don't come here that much anymore, but decided to tonight, so to answer your question, what helped me a lot was committing to taking care of myself, eating well and I had to take some time off from the working world in order to heal...like a few years. Way more than I ever would have wanted to...

Cuddling up with my cat seems to be really soothing lately, and I also watch these awesome reiki transmissions on you tube which have been so helpful in releasing stress and tension when I can't afford a massage. I also cuddle myself and that helps to release oxytocin around my body. Breast...

Ok, but we can only go by what you say on here, and we aren't mind readers to know that when you say " I fail at everything" you don't actually mean it. Maybe entitling this thread "I FEEL like I fail at everything..." might have given us a better idea of what you were feeling, rather than what...

Sorry, I know it's annoying, but your description of their antics made me laugh out loud. :D It's like a classic movie. I had a housemate once who was always at it, with all different girls every single day. They both made heaps of noise and it was very annoying...mainly because I had no sex...

I think you are just so used to hearing your parents chastise you and tell you what is wrong with you that you expect it from everyone...or think you need it. You don't. It's just that your situation has become normalized to the point where you are so damn confused about who you actually are...

Feeling fresh and hesitant to go out into the world today, but also, conversely, cannot stay indoors one more day with the cat.Feeling like I want to be more productive and creative today, in some new way... Lower back is still giving me problems and there is a searing pain that comes so...

Feeling judged and attacked but thankfully didn't take on the other person negativity and insults. Says more about him than it does about me. People who make assumptions and hide behind images that aren't their own face while throwing insults at strangers online...cowards. Feeling warm and glad...

Just read this now and I noticed it's dated from dec 30 2014. Just wondering if things have improved at all for you outlawstar555? Depression, by it's very nature feels like a tunnel that cannot be escaped from...that there is nothing better beyond it's walls...but it's a lie.

Feeling harassed.
