I feel like I have been gaslighted but I’m not exactly sure. Someone in my life has said some things to me and something about it feels “off”. I often wonder if I’m the “crazy” one. No one else around me seems to understand what I’m experiencing. People tell me that I’m making a bigger deal about it than what is necessary and to just “get over it”.

 

I often hear that I’m being “too sensitive”. I feel guilty and ashamed, and wonder if something is wrong with me. My emotions are so intense at times. I often feel taken advantage of. Someone in my life has told me that I’m abusive but I feel abused. Things that I do or say are used against me later, and I don’t know why. I’m questioning my own judgment and second guessing my feelings. I feel trapped, broken and defeated.

 

I need to be heard. I need to know that my concerns are real. I want support and understanding. I would like clarification on what I am experiencing and if my feelings are valid. I want to connect to myself again. I want to understand my emotions and sensitivity. I need to figure out where to go from here.
