      Hi my beautiful Angel … Rosemary,
      Have you spoken to your GP lately about this? They should be able to give you some good advice and follow up on the medication you have been taking.
      Also I would recommend speaking to someone at the domestic abuse helpline to see what your options are for leaving.
      In the meantime though if you are able to I would google/YouTube some techniques for controlling your breathing and getting grounded in your body, even using techniques like tapping can help to control anxiety quite quickly, or find a relaxing meditation.
      I know these things sound simple but make sure you are eating a healthy diet, not drinking to much alcohol or coffee and getting fresh air and exercise.
      I understand it is hard to find ”yourself” in the mist of an abusive relationship but adding in a few self care techniques to your day can significantly make changes to your situation… I know this because it worked for me.
      Stay safe and stay connected
      Sending you love and support
      Darcy xx

      Have tummy ake.i will take your advice and do
      What you said for me to do to try and control anxiety its horrible geting pulplations thought my
      Heart sometimes I feel I am going to die .

      I feel scared to leave my relationship because i think that he will start problems when I leave him I now I would be protected but would he ever find out where I would be liveing if I left him ? I’ve lived in am abusive controling abusing relationship for a very long time . I’ve got to the point now that I am physically and mentally worn out of my partner . There is days where his quite and the next minet his geting annoyed
      Angury abusive he says to me he feels his going to lose it
      When he feels depressed that he dont feel him
      Self he takes how he feels out of me . When he says this to me his going to lose it my heart goes fast with lots of pulplations I also remember the past
      What he was like years ago so it makes me feel scared because I now what he is like

      Hello Rosemary, please contact your local women’s aid. Your mental health will only get worse and I spent decades on medication treating the symptoms and never the cause which is your abuser. Google the cycle of abuse. Trauma bonding. The power and control wheel. Abusers use fear Obligation and Guilt to control us. He knew exactly what he’s doing and he chooses to abuse you.

      Hello Kip thank you for careing and your
      Advice over the years he has got worse even thoe I gabe him advice he will not
      Get any help for him self he says he will deal with things In his own way i said to him that he cant deal things in his own way that’s just impossible I think . Doctors even gave him depression tablets which he refuse to take he says
      That he dont like to take tablets . I said to him
      That depression tablets are there to help us feel better he says he ain’t going to take tablets he dont want to depend on them. The thing is his not
      Thinking of people around him. Like you said he excually knows what his doing his admitted that to me when he goes on and on talks to me about negative things he says his going on and on at me because he feels depressed he feels his going to lose it . I have to sit here and lissen to his abusive geting annoyed about his past
      He puts all of his past on to me he says he only wants to talk to me I said to him that it gets to much for me I get headache feels like he giveing me mental toucher. I’ve always been here for him
      But he dont appreciate my support he says there nothing wrong with him and he dont need depression tablets. His admitted to some of his family that his been horrible to me .

      For my partner being abusive towards me it’s not
      A illness this is all down to control I think ? It’s never okay for him to be abusive
