What do you do in abusive relationships? How do you identify them if you’re being victimized? When you struggle with bipolar or schizophrenia, the hardest aspects are the flaws we have in that some of us can’t recognize people’s motives as well. Some of us are so damaged by our own illness that we cling to those who attempt to bring us up and help us. But often more than not we are trampled by those appearing to lift us up out of the darkness.

I’m fine. It was a mistake. I had to call the bank and get everything sorted out and it was a real hassle.

My so called friend “accidentally” used my debit card to book a hostel for 3 nights about $300 and told me to wait a few weeks…and said he had already canceled. I got an email where he used my identity that confirmed the booking and cancellation, but I had to call the hostel to actually get it canceled, and found out from them it was a downpayment for another $300. I was charged $41 plus a $36 NSF fee because of his mistake and he didnt apologize rather he accused me of being a bad friend for thinking he did it on purpose. There were witnesses to him doing it, and yet no one told me until the transaction went through on my account. It almost seems sneaky because if it was a downpayment maybe he didn’t think I would notice it. I had to block my card, call the bank to get my money refunded and I still told them it was an accident because I don’t really know for sure, but he’s done things before lying saying he won a coke rewards contest to get my bank account information and it just upsets me. He never got my account info I think, but he said it was to open up a new account. I need to make sure there’s nothing else he’s doing with my information. I updated facebook. And today he blocked me on FB after we have hung out together almost every single day for months, because I called him out on things and told him I didn’t like his yelling or recording pics of me etc.
It seems your friend has misused your Friends relationship you had together. As a friend Woudnt do that to a friend! ( if you get me)

Yeah that’s what people say, like a lot of people to the point I feel like I should’ve known better. I keep second guessing and thinking he really does care, which he may in a small way but that doesnt mean he’s not a cruel user and thief, stalker
People can take advantage of the mentally ill. Also, for some people, abuse is just part of their nature. I don’t have much sympathy for them.
