Lol. She has zero knowledge about mental health or therapists.
November 4, 2024 at 1:13 pm #439144anitaParticipantDear Zenith: yes, you said something like this before. Well, I wish you and her saw some wise person from the Indian-Muslim community in your area, a religious counselor of sorts, and have the two of you sit together with him/ her to clarify and fix things!

November 4, 2024 at 1:29 pm #439145ZenithParticipantThats not going to happen Anita. I have to learn to let go of people who dont care my about feelings.
November 4, 2024 at 1:30 pm #439146ZenithParticipantSometimes I want to relocate to a different house so that I dont think about her anymore. It feels like a friendship breakup which hit me hard this time. I had 2 friends who ignored me like this in the past few years I got over them. I dont know why this one feels tough. I have only one friend left in the city. I dont trust her anymore I know she would do the same. I just dont want anymore friends. My husband is only my best friend that I trust now. He is the best and I love him. I am spending more time with my daughter and husband. But sometimes I feel so empty that we are just 3 of us and dont have friends to hang out with. That feeling is so weird. Then I look at social media and feel bad that how come people have so many friends.

“My husband is only my best friend that I trust now. He is the best and I love him. I am spending more time with my daughter and husband. But sometimes I feel so empty that we are just 3 of us“- I am glad that your husband is your best friend, this is a lot more than many women have. I do understand though that you need more: we are social beings with great social needs. I wish you did have a group of friends with whom you’d socialize a few days or evenings every week. It makes a big difference.
I just looked it up, and wonder if IAMC (Indian American Muslim Council) can provide social+ opportunities for you..?

The Empty Feeling.. I remember how intense my empty feeling used to be, being as isolated and lonely as I was. Lots and lots of people suffer from that empty feeling. I hope it gets easier and better for you!

November 4, 2024 at 2:07 pm #439151ZenithParticipantHow did you overcome that empty feeling ?
November 4, 2024 at 2:12 pm #439152ZenithParticipantI had that feeling when I suffered from religious OCD. I feel like I am feeling the same exact like something is wrong with me or I am not complete blah blah.
November 4, 2024 at 3:19 pm #439153anitaParticipantDear Zenith:
The intense, persistent feeling that “something is wrong with me“, that empty feeling, I stopped experiencing it when I stopped being loyal to the person who instilled this terrible empty feeling inside of me, when I turned my back to her and to her devastating teaching/ indoctrination (that there was something terribly wrong with me). In the context of me and her (I am referring to my mother), there was nothing wrong with me and everything wrong with her.
When I am saying that there was nothing wrong with me, I don’t mean in any way that I was a perfect specimen physically or mentally. What I mean by it, is that my love for her was perfect. And she turned viciously against a little girl who loved her so. That she did just that, again and again for decades is something terribly wrong with her.
In other words, I placed the original wrong- in my life- where it belongs.
