I think the answer depends on your current situation. My stable you feel and can you cope with your daily stresses without a professional to talk to? Sometimes talking to someone is better than talking to no one. On the other hand if you can manage until you have returned to US maybe staying out...

I think I am still part In denial of the fact that actually getting over this all may take a long time

French chicken sandwich Pistaccio ice cream or mochi?

I know how you feel. I think doomscrolling certainly contributed my trauma. For me even headlines can be very triggering as they often sell their stories by doom&gloom. Site and newsblockers have helped me although I still browse them with my other Phone. Try To avoid multimedia news as far as...

I am sorry for your loss @ellzeena ! Welcome to Forum and hopefully you find help here

This! We are make mistakes but in a healthy relationships we deal with them and move on. I believe it would do you good to get more people In your life. Also maybe you could consider taking more time for yourself. Are there any hobbies you used to enjoy but dont have had time to do lately?

What would need to happen in this relationship in order you to feel safe? Would it be possible for you to rekindle your relationships to your family and friends?

Unfortunately no :/

I agree. In the meantime focus on yourself and taking care of yourself. Do you have a therapist? How to parent oneself? Not a snark but a honest question

I wonder would somekind of body awareness therapy work for you better 🤔?

Well I am now listening to an earworm on repeat: Toto's Africa.

Agreed it seems she is treating you like a misbehaving child. What if next time she feels the urge to punch or choke you she could be the one to stand next to a wall or some other place of her choosing to calm down? @scruffybiscuit what if the roles were reserved and she would be the one who...

I have had issues in the past with some neighbors which have been very rude & hostile (if I see them outside they just state at me angrily or once shut the front door of the apartment house right in front of me so I couldn't get in the corridor. We don't seems to have a common language so...

Has anyone used REBT therapy or help help book treating trauma? is the therapy model much different from act or cbt? Was it helpful or not-helpful in your case?

Can you block him? Or make an alternative account he doesn't know about?

I had bad fear dying or going to a bad afterlife when I was teenager. What then helped me when someone wise told me that I might be more afraid of life than actually dying. Life's big decisions were ahead of me (what to study etc) and I also first realized the finality of the time each of us...

@scruffybiscuit I somehow totally missed that she has been choking you (!). It might make sense to keep some kind of diary when and how she has been abusive towards you (with pictures of the bruises, cuts etc). Even if you don't want press charges or go to police, it would be a good evidence...

I think you might be making progress here. I don't suggest yelling back but I think you are starting to advocate yourself. You rightly expect the other person to act like a calm adult like as you yourself carried a difficult and stressful conversation with grace. You can't help of your payments...

HI @sadnightowl welcome to forum! Sad to hear about your situation 😟. Glad your spouse is on your side and realizing the effect his mother's actions on you. Would ot be possible that your husband to talk to his mother? Is there a way for you to limit contact to your mother-in-law for a while?

I can only comment from my view but it seems you are making a lot of excuses to justify your wive's behavior. Just as a victimized individual commonly do in domestic abuse (physical or mental abuse). as you said yourself lying to your wife about the money you followed to your ex was wrong to do...

lately one of favorite soundtracks before going go sleep has been listening fire cracking in a hearth or sounds of grasshoppers

Bit off-topic but I would love having curly hair (I am jealous of my relative who has really curly hair).

Sorry to hear about your bad experience :/. Hair grows back but of course it's scary when the hairdresser does something we didn't ask them to do. Is there way for you go there abd ask for refund? Would they be willing to fix your hair so you would be comfortable with it?

I have insomnia at times. Not fun at all :/. I tend worry over work things so what has helped me is to create a mental boundary between work and freedom. I don't work after 6pm and try to go out for walk so sleeping is easier.
