I still hate my bullies and I can't stop thinking about them

I still hate them. I still think about them. I wish I could forget them.

It’s the same BS every day.

I want to prove them wrong but then again, I have this illness.

What to do?

You are giving their actions power long after the events are over. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone.

You sound like you need distractions in the present to stop thinking about the past.

Is there anything that grabs your attention that you could do?

I agree with @Bowens, don’t give them that power over you. :t_rex::t_rex::t_rex:

Do you enjoy giving your bullies continuing power over you?

Because that’s what you’re doing.

Move on.

What did these bullies do?

Yeah, I guess you are right. When I was growing up I thought about getting somewhere in life. I dreamt of getting away from those a-holes and achieving something, making something good about myself. Then they all got stuck in my head, I became depressed.

If you choose to do something in life, do it for yourself or those who are important to you. Not for people who bullied you God knows how many years ago.

That’s the problem. I don’t have any hobbies nor do I have the ability to focus on a task.

I told my doc on several occasions that I can’t concentrate but he just ignored me.

I just check ebay and this forum from time to time. Then I lie on the couch for the most part of my day. Ruminating on everything.

These negatives are crippling.

I had a Nintendo switch but sold it because I wasn’t using it.

I guess I wish I could find some kind of strength in me. But I’m also tired off thinking because it doesn’t lead up to anything.

Honestly, you need to come up with a game plan.

You can’t let these negative thoughts control your life.

Maybe you need to ask for support for this to a therapist or a mentor.

The regular stuff called me fat, ugly, stupid. They beat me up. Slapped me in the face.

One guy forced me to be nice around him. It was really humiliating.

You are right about having a game plan.

I’m stuck in this void and I don’t have anything to fill it with. I’m only thinking about negative stuff.

I wish I could move to a different city and start fresh again. Somehow I got stuck in my home town.

But that’s not the issue. The issue is me not doing anything. Sure, I suffer from negs but I need to start doing something. I’m getting nowhere being like this.

But doing stuff for me is like climbing a huge mountain. I have several books I started reading, didn’t finish a single one of them. I had games I wanted to play, didn’t do it. I have no hobbies, I don’t even watch tv.

With everything I have to force myself. And it takes so much effort. My willpower depletes and I’m back on square one.

You were going to the gym for a while.

Do you think you can push yourself to go back?

It’s going to be -14 degrees and snowing. I don’t like going to the gym when the weather is like this. When it’s around 0 degrees I’m fine. I don’t use public showers so I have to walk home in my sweaty clothes, when it’s below -14 it gets really cold and freezing. Also I only go in the morning or late evening. Less people there and it keeps my paranoia in check.

I hope things get better for you in spring.

Maybe make an exercise plan.

In the meantime you could do some exercises indoors like sit-ups, lunges, squats etc

Maybe tomorrow you’ll feel better and have enough energy to take a step forward.

Do EMDR on yourself. It worked for me. Now I can think about it and it not hurt.
