I find some sick satisfaction in judging others. I always compete. I always need to be better than anyone else. I always fail to be. I’m so negative. I loathe myself. My body is so hairy, even as a female, because I have PCOS and Hirsutism. My stomach is HUGE even though I lost 30lbs (I went from 140 to 110 last year but I look 150. I’m 5ft 3). My wardrobe is that of a 5th grader. I can’t afford anything new. I’m always afraid I’m going to be homeless. I have been dating a guy for 7 years who is abusive in all aspects. I have no friends. I volunteer at a church and enjoy helping truly, but can’t seem to make any friends there either. I’m so judgmental. I hate all of the beautiful, rich, well-traveled people there that always throw in my face that they’re married and I’m not. My useless, son-of-a-***** fiancee. He’s slobby, fat, unemployed. I deserve him. I deserve lower than that scumbag. I’ve worked when he hasn’t. I only wanted a guy who didn’t make me the breadwinner of the household. I can’t support his equally useless, slobby friends who rent from us (using their father’s money and even he can hardly pay us most months). I know what needs to be done, but my health, my body, my mental hell keeps me from doing anything. I need someone else to step up and take charge. To support me. I don’t plan on never working again. I plan on not being the main source of income. It’s too much pressure when I’m suicidal and socially anxious. I’m afraid to pick up a phone. Calls scare me. I need so much and and I need to die. I can’t continue life this way. Unless something miraculous happens and pulls me right out of my depression and I get another job, or my business takes off, or my books actually sell (though I hate them so much, I’m so ashamed), I don’t want to do anything else. I just want to lay here in bed, in a dark room, until I die.

The most recent and best thing I ever did was to call the local women’s shelter … And found out that there was a free group run for women in abusive relationships. I have been divorced for 5 Yeats … And still court. Mandated to communicate with my son’s emotionally abusive father. The women who support this group were the first ones after years of therapy, psychiatrists to validate why I felt the wat I did about myself. If you can make one call … Make that one. A community of other women , all from different backgrounds, but where why a common experience without judgement .
Living with an abusive partner can drain the life out of you. You would surprised how much your physical and mental health will improve once you are away from him. Once your away you can focus on yourself and needs.
Get away from the bastard. You are to be commended for making efforts to make a living despite social anxiety etc, I know how that is. I’m very judgmental, irritable and snappy too. I think it’s more of a symptom of depression than anything. For the most part, I keep my judgments to myself and recognise them for what they are…
