Yeah... · 7:36am Feb 8th, 2014
For those of you wondering why I didn't post anything today, refer to the following image. The person I'm texting is my ex.
If anyone noticed, the whole point of the story was that humans are miserable creatures and I was accentuating the personality flaws of the mane six when I wrote the characters for the human world. I thought Fluttershy would be the kind of person who wouldn't stand up for herself and have people walk all over her, so I put her with an abusive boyfriend. Fuck, man. Life imitates art, I guess.
I just don't know how to feel right now. I could stand to talk to somebody.
Edit: She tried to overdose, but she's okay. She refuses to press any charges and she plans to continue living with him. He's forbidden her from ever talking to me again.
Now that I got that depressing shit out of the way, here's some ponies to maybe balance it out a little.
I'm here to talk to you if you want, or I could pm...

Whatever you want is fine. If talking isn't your thing you don't have to worry about me; I'll be fine. Well, alive at least.
1809574 What about your friend?
1809595
Oh, yeah. I guess I should have said something about that. She tried to overdose but she'll be okay. Physically, at least. She's decided to go back to him, so I doubt I'll ever know if she isn't.
1809607 WHY!?
Abusive asshole...
1809618
I don't know. I just don't know. It's been like this her entire life. I think I was the only boyfriend she ever had who never abused her either physically or sexually. It's just something about the human psyche, like Stockholm Syndrome. She's so scared of being alone that she would rather cower in fear.
1809629 What about you? You're her ex, why did you two break up.
If you don't mind me asking.
1809574
That's sad. It's always hard to see people in a state where they don't want to help themselves. But, it is her life and all you can do is try to help her. That's all any of us can really do, then it's up to each person to accept it or reject it.
1809638
A variety of reasons. Mostly because she had temper issues. She's a really sweet girl to every single person on planet Earth except whomever she happens to be dating. I still care about her in a non-romantic way, though.
1809643
I know. That's what I'm going to keep telling myself until I believe it. If you've ever been in a similar situation you know what I mean.
1809645 Maybe YOU should find her a guy, someone that's not a fucking asshole
1809654
Don't really know any of those. Except maybe one, but he's gay.
1809661 Damn... She's afraid of being alone, but being in a relationship is not needed. She's not alone if she has friends like you.
1809680
I can't tell you how many times I've said that. In one ear and out the other.
1809683 Hmmm... Maybe... just having friends... more friends maybe. Look, maybe if you can find more friends, more people or maybe talk to someone she REALLY respects or cares about, maybe that will help
1809699
People get into this kind of situation because of a psychological deficiency, something that's probably been there for a long time and would require one hell of a life overhaul to overcome. It's... realistically, I don't have a lot of hope. Thanks a lot for talking with me. I'm so tired that I don't think I can stay awake for another minute, though. If you still want to have a discussion I can continue tomorrow. Again, thank you.
1809708 No problems mate, I have a friend that's suicidal and I talked her down... Two friends actually. She may push you away, but right now she needs a friend.
I know this is old, but I've been busy
I've been going through similar things just lately. I have an ex who is suicidal. I know for a fact while I was with her, she self-harmed. I often tried to convince her to open up to me about things. I never pushed her about it. Unfortunately, life took us in different directions and we had to split. A few days ago, she hit me up on Facebook. Now she will tell me she has a problem, but won't tell me what the problem is. I'm a very patient man, but it's upsetting because it makes me feel powerless.
Anyway, best of luck with everything
