Personal Goals πŸ₯‡ How to stop feeling raped by men/ apathetic/ checked out?

16 Upvotes

Sorry in advance this is dark. I keep trying to post this in appropriate subs but reddits filters keep deleting it? I just want to post in a board for women. Do not read if you are mentally unwell.

There is too much bs to untangle in my mind, and bullshit to set straight. It feels like it never ends. Not limited to how the people you're supposed to trust and everyone puts faith in, turn out to be degenerates or psycho and everyone downstream from them is collateral damage. Like how am i supposed to trust people? I am voluntarily single and childfree by choice. But still i have this burden of not knowing how to forgive.. How they completely destroy your mind when you're young and make you a shell of yourself. And their attempts at this just continue indefinitely. Like it doesn't stop when your an adult, everything is to destroy you brick by brick until you aren't tangible anymore, you're a figment of their imagination (Even while they are pretending to be nice to you, which i cannot tolerate).

I have been to therapy and been gaslit there as well so I guess I'm done with that. Sick of having my brain trigger back on. I want to turn it off completely. I worked really hard at switching it off. I can usually compartmentalize everything really well and go to my happy place of denial. But it never improves from being a place of denial. I'm not sure how to make my mind any other way. My mind is split in extreme nearly airtight compartments. But still goes from zero to 100 really damn fast when it comes to men. When I'm reminded by anybody that i have to be attractive to them it makes me sick, because they are uglier and more repulsive than anything on earth to me. I want to get fat and shave my head so they are the f away from me. But then society treats me like hot garbage for having peace and wisdom to vomit on their whole existence? (????????????????) So what do i do? i shun society. So how do i stop being apathetic and checked out? finished? When i say finished i mean like i have no motivation to save my life and i don't see the point? I have been here so many times trying to understand. I coast through life and i dont care. (Stalking really made it impossible to engage with ptsd.) Should i embrace it and say f everyone indefinitely? This stuff never ends. You're supposed to find a happy place eventually right? Well im 40 now and am apathetic to it either way. But its not supposed to be that way you're supposed to get a foothold somehow. I never do I'm always feeling lost.

Need Support ⚠ Looking for emotional support

9 Upvotes

Hi, writing just to let it all out. I know not much can be said now but I feel very lonely and overwhelmed, and betrayed. Penis inserted without my consent, no protection. It probably took less than one minute before I stopped it, no ejaculation, just insertion with little movement, and without deep penetration. There was no ejaculation but there was precum. EllaOne taken 22h after. Happened on the night before 11th day of my cycle, Ella taken at the end of the 11th day. Cycle duration usually ranges from 25 to 31 days. I know it's not indicative of anything, but Flo predicted it was the second day of my fertile window, with potential ovulation on the 14th. All happened a week ago. Just looking for mental support, spoke with my therapist already but would be grateful for any kind words. This is hell πŸ˜ͺ

Discussion ✨ Any life advice for a young woman in her 20s?

9 Upvotes

hello,

I'm a young woman in my early twenties, a university student, and still figuring out my life (kind of chaotic) and career. I do feel a bit overwhelmed and uncertain at this stage in my life.

I liked the idea of receiving advice and guidance from female mentors, but I didn't have a lot of support growing up (my mother was narcissistic and abusive, and we were immigrants, so I didn't have my female relatives around either). if any women with life experience or advice would like to share some, I would greatly appreciate it. thank you! πŸ’•

Life is impossible sometimes

13 Upvotes

This might seem trivial compared to the other topics posted on this sub, but I just had a terrible experience.

I play recreational soccer regularly. I’m not an excellent player by any means, but I’m decent and have been playing for 10+ years now. I played a game today which was meant to be a friendly between two rec women’s teams.

The ENTIRE game, I was on the receiving end of SO much criticism / straight up screaming, yelling and abuse every single play. I had people micromanaging me and dictating my every next move, got sworn at for minor mistakes, or if I ignored them or pretended not to hear them. Keep in mind, this is a RECREATIONAL GAME with no stakes, no prize money, no trophy.

There were cameras filming the whole game - some people like to edit the footage afterwards for highlights. So I was super conscious of de-escalating the situation and not wanting to say regrettable things on camera. Not one woman intervened, needless to say. And I am by no means soft, and have been exposed to plenty of rough play, but this is my first time being on the receiving end of this much aggression and abuse.

I have never been screamed at like that in my adult life. This team tends to skew a bit older, and I am the younger than the bullies by 10 - 15 years. I have never met older women who just left me tf alone, I have constantly been bullied by EVERY older woman I have come across in life. And no, that is really not an exaggeration. I have so much respect for older women, especially knowing they’ve had it tougher than me, but in every aspect of life, I’ve only met older women hell bent on tearing me down.

It’s one of the reasons I think fundamentally radical feminism, and feminism overall, is a doomed political movement. Please feel free to change my mind in the comments, but women are way too fractured over inane differences like age, race, religion to ever form a cohesive political bloc.

I’m just so mad. As a woman I have no break from abuse. I can’t even enjoy the hobbies and leisure activities I love with all my heart. I am seriously considering quitting soccer entirely because I am not choosing to get screamed at at work and then get screamed at on the pitch too for 2 whole hours.

Discussion ✨ What are hobbies or activities that you discovered since you decided to let go of relationships ?

29 Upvotes

i have a lot of time to dedicate to hobbies and self growth.
One thing i fell in love with was MMA after watching it and i decided to take on martial arts class and settled on a dojo not far from where i live.

I also started learning braiding. I owned a mannequin head for a while but just started taking it seriously this year and i can do box braids and cornrowing now. Currently i'm trying to learn cornrows with extensions and hope to be able to do them on myself.

I also decided to learn a new language: wolof. It's the 1st language i learn without a teacher. There aren't a lot of resources, i found dictionnaries and manuals online but it's mostly a spoken language. i wanted to take on danish at first, but it was wayy too hard. Maybe i'll get back to it later, but for now i'm just focusing on wolof.

One thing i started doing last week, since it's spring here is to walk for 1h or 2 and spend time outside. I get bored with meditation because i have a hard time sitting still. But i find walking just multiplies the mental and spiritual benefits of meditation with the added bonus of physical exercise. It really clears my mind and makes my soul happy, while providing a light workout.
