It looks like it'll be a green Christmas in Southern Ontario and Toronto. Sucks is an understatement. People were playing tennis yesterday as I walked along Lake Ontario without a winter coat. It's below freezing today, but rain is on the way. Hope some of you have a white Christmas.

My cousin who lives in Phoenix told me that he would get me a ticket for the Fiesta Bowl right after it was announced that OSU would be in it. Now a day before my plane leaves he texted me last night and said he couldn't get me a ticket. So I'm heading to Phoenix without a ticket.

So this girl I sort of know got severely slashed in the face with a box cutter on nye during a bar fight she wasnt even a part of. I don't know her that well but we have mutual friends. Total drug bar. From what I understand she was just in there getting a tweleve pack. Fucking scumbags.

didnt have anyone to talk to so here i go....
Two years ago I moved to another state with my fiance and on to what seemed to me a great new career. Everything was great. I finished my school and I was going to marry one of my best friends and about to enter everything i had worked for... well that lasted a month. My fiance and I broke up and i became a zombie. I was lost. I was let go from my new job as a trainer that i was handpicked for and not to mention my company relocated my on their dime, well because i wasnt functioning. Embarrassed and too proud to go home to my family, I moved to a different city because I felt there was something else waiting for me to accomplish and it wasnt back home. I found peace in the mountains, related to the diverse community, amazing local brews and food AND after many years of severe insomnia i was able to finally sleep. with out medication and all the way through the night. I took this as I was finally relieved of what ever the fuck was stressing me out so bad, so I began to plant my life in this city, 14,000 miles away from everything and everyone I knew. I have made a few friends but i havent been here longer than 7 months now. I became very close with a guy i met at a show and we soon became inseparable. I never thought once in my life things would get violent with him. This past friday evening we went to a perpetual groove show and had a great time. Had some drinks and went home. He flipped a switch when we got home and i still cant understand what happened but here I am bruised all over and not wanting to leave my room. This wasnt the first time i was physically assaulted by a boyfriend so i can not play the victim but only blame myself for being so dumb and trusting. and as for this adventure i once thought i was brave for i know find myself feeling like a total idiot.

DBT is right, the secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits, but the tough part is knowing when to roll those credits

Hey eu86, I'm sorry this all happened to you. Get some help, stay away from the fucker, and know we love you here, as much as we can as strangers on a web forum. I don't know what else to say. Take care.

evilurges86 · Jan 09, 2012, 11:50 PM

ALady · Jan 10, 2012, 02:57 AM

eu, you might also want to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline - 1-800-799 SAFE (7233). We are sympathetic, but they might be able to provide more actual help and constructive advice.

What happened is not your fault - please don't blame yourself.

Please come back and let us know how things are going. Take care, lady. You are brave.

Jon T. · Jan 10, 2012, 08:23 AM

sorry to hear that, eu. lots of love around these parts. hang in there. :)

Crispy · Jan 10, 2012, 09:33 AM

You are brave, eu, and the only idiot in your situation is the asshole who hit you. Like the others have said, there is tons of support and understanding here, but I hope you can talk to someone for real: professionals who deal with that stuff for a living are out there for you. Many hugs and large positive vibes headed your way.

Fully · Jan 10, 2012, 10:29 AM

Definitely get some professional help/advice. But I'm with everyone else: this is not your fault. Stay away from this guy and keep yourself safe. I hope you feel better soon. I know the physical bruises fade faster than the emotional ones. Also, when you feel better, get involved in activities that you enjoy. You'll be surprised how many people you will meet that way. It does take time to meet people in a new environment, but be proactive about it. Also, that will help build you back up from this experience. Take care.

eu, i agree that calling the Hotline could be helpful, and if you want to take it a step further, call the police. A crime has occurred. Do not ever blame yourself for the actions of others. I'm not sure where you live, but there are coalitions in NJ where if someone is a victim of abuse, it is possible that a social worker will come out to you, once you report it to the police. I'm so sorry to hear how isolated you are feeling, but please know that there is support out there (and in here) for you.

EU--thanks for sharing, that's what we're here for! Please take everyone's advice above and hang in there....and please come back here to share or unload anytime you want or need some friends..you're so much stronger than you think and you did nothing wrong and shouldn't feel stupid at all..

Hawkeye · Jan 10, 2012, 12:52 PM

I wish you all the best EU! Not sure I have much other advice besides what's already been shared, but we're all here for you! Like others said, surround yourself with positive people and activities you enjoy...life is too short to put up with negativity, and it can become a self-perpetuating cycle if you let it...trust me, I know. Meditation, good diet, and exercise really help too, to get the positive juices flowing!
