A girl has shared her story about how she was traumatized by her ex-boyfriend who has been constantly abusing her mentally.
According to her post on NUSWhisper Facebook page, she has been together with him for 4 years. During the time together with him, he will control her every single time when she wants to go out with her friends.
When the girl wanted a breakup, her ex-bf will threaten her to kill himself if she does so. She then said that even until now, she is affected by her ex-boyfriend and she is afraid of running into him in public.
She mentioned that she even hide behind a pillar once when she saw him in a fast-food restaurant.
In her Post:
“Is there something wrong with me?
I broke up with my ex 5 years ago. We were together for about 4 years. However throughout those 4 years, he was constantly controlling me and putting me down, such as not allowing me to go out with my friends whom I’ve known for over 10 years, calls me attention-seeking when I wear tank tops or dresses. He made me feel worthless and only talked to me when he’s bored. I decided to finally break up with him but it escalated. He threatened to commit suicide, and I had to call the police on him.
Even though it happened 5 years ago, I still fear running into him. When I see someone who looks similar, even from the back, I go into panic mode. I wish to visit places but I’m scared I will see him. The one and only time I saw him in a fast food place made me run away and hide behind the pillars. The mere thought of him already brings me into a panic. I’ve been trying so hard to forget and calm myself down, but I can’t, I fear him so much. Is there something wrong with me or my mental health? Should I seek help? Where can I even go to seek help for this type of problem?“
