I’m just really scared to do so as I have tried to leave in the past and he’s blew my phone up with phone calls and messages. The HV is aware of everything and so are the police, as I’ve had them around before asking if i could get moved quicker with their help. I’m more scared of what he may do or say. I don’t want...

Numb

Does anyone else feel so sad and depressed that they feel numb, can't get excited, rarely smile or laugh, don't even get amazed at anything. It's like the only emotion you and your body know is being silent, sad.

Jealously/ self conscious

Anyone dealing with being more self conscious and insecure about your body? And have your man follow and like ig models or women that post scandalous pics. Which makes me more insecure like I’m not pretty enough for him any more.
