Stuck in a toxic environment

Stuck in a toxic environment

I have decides to exhale here as I have given up on every hotline. Anyone else living in a toxic environment that they don't have capacity to leave so are stuck and worried it's going to get them before they get to escape.

i am running out of energy and strategies. My mum is vile man and one engagement and she makes me feel so worthless. I am not enjoying and ready to give up. Really don't know how people survive such unkindness constantly. Unreal.

Re: Stuck in a toxic environment

@Former-Member I'm not living in a toxic environment but I am in a dangerous situation that I can't just escape from. And I fear that it will be too late by the time someone eventually does decide to help if that ever even happens.

I don't know how one is supposed to survive such unkindness, but I've been told by so many that despite the fact I can't see it but there's an inner strength that i have that somehow gets me through each day. You have that inner strength, you do what you have to do to get through each day often without even realising.

Keep going, keep fighting, keep sharing here. I hope that one day soon someone helps you to escape your situation. But we are here for you to support you however possible ❤️

Re: Stuck in a toxic environment

Thank you. Mum and her husband are mad and yelling at me constantly from small things that happens as I try and get my wheelchair around such a tight space and this just happened. No one is home so I am scared like messaging mum to give her time? I don't know I am just already on eggshells hoping it can't get worse and this just happened. I'm ready to meltdown as I am terrified of how this will make my life any harder than it already is.

this is not the life I ever dreamed of and tried so hard to never get to. But here I am just trying to get through a day at a time in hopes help will come soon. I don't even know how I keep going. It's really not any fun.

@Former-Memberi hear you. Is there something you can do that might bring you a bit of calm at the moment? Or is there something we can chat about to take your mind off of things?

Trust me when I say I get you and I'm hearing you Stuck. I'm stuck too. I've also given up on hotlines that are useless. What you need is a voice. What you need is support. What you need is a friend to hear you when you're overwhelmed. Happy to be that. Just talk. I'll listen. I can't solve my own issues so I'm no use to you other than a shoulder to cry on. We all need that sometimes. Virtual HUG sent your way.

@TrueFeelins the crisis lines are really letting alot of people down lately, myself included. We can be here for each other and offer whatever support possible. Hopefully we can all get some help soon to get us out of situations that we are stuck in.

I'm sitting with you both, you aren't alone ❤️
