Re: Lost
Putting aside your depression and anxiety for the moment what you are experiencing is Domestic Violence. If you go to this link https://www.1800respect.org.au you will be able to speak to someone on the phone or online who can help you with this stuff. I hope you can find the courage to follow this suggestion through. No it's not easy but it does help.
With respect to your difficult childhood it would be a good idea to make an appointment with your GP and talk about these things in your past because this will be contributing to your depression and anxiety. Your GP can arrange a Medicare Mental Health Plan so you can see a psychologist on Medicare. I think you'll find this very helpful.
At the moment do you feel you are safe from your own thoughts? I urge you to contact lifeline on 13 11 14. They also have an online chat helpline https://www.lifeline.org.au/get-help/online-services/online-services-overview
I'm so happy you've joined us here. We are here to help you as much as we can and in turn you will be able to help us.
Please act on the suggestions above and take care. Hugzzz 💕

Yiu can love someone but that doesn't mean you should be with them. If it's not a healthy relationship - then leave him. Please don't stay. The longer you stay - the harder it will be to leave.
@Kurra has given you some good contacts fir DV.
You have had a hard childhood, but it soundslike you did the best thing for yiu by ccutting ties with your parents. Although that wouldn't have been easy.
You have suffered trauma in your life. Can you go and see your gp and ask for a referral for the medicare funded mental health plan where you can see a psychologist. Ask your gp to recommend one who specialises in trauma. A psychologist will help you work out who you are and help you to grow stronger and recognise that you are not to blame for any if this.
I wish you all the best and will be thinking of you

Hi @Lovechild
I would urge you to contact the domestic violence support service @Kurra has suggested above, you have already indicated in your post above that you understand this situation is wrong for you and that your welfare is in danger. It can be really hard to break free from someone who is abusing you when you have genuine feelings for them, but this is not good for your bf's character either .... this cycle needs to be interrupted and replaced with a healthy one .... for the sake of both of you ....
You are not alone here .... and please keep posting ....
You will not be managing alone wit the DV support services walking you through the changes either.
Well done ❣ You are being so brave to speak out against your DV situation .... and now you need to take the follow-through action to keep yourself safe ....
🌷💜
