Moving in with my girlfriend has been the best thing for my mental health in years

Vent / Rant

sorry if this is the wrong tag, but I didn’t see any tags for more positive posts.

I recently moved in with my Girlfriend of twoyears last month and honestly getting away from all the abuse has Made me realize the person I actually am. I know I made a couple posts in here about my anger and how it was impacting my life and now that I’m out of the abuse, it’s like all of the anger is gone.

I’m such a happy laid-back person and no longer get angry at every little thing and all it took was leaving a toxic environment. I also go Outside every day and every Once in a while, do community activities in my area.

I thought I was an angry mean individual but the abuse was just ringing out the worst in me because it was the only way I could defend myself was by verbal lashing out, since I’m disabled and can’t get out of an environment easily.

I still have work on in but I’m doing better and making progress and I’m so proud of myself. It does get better.
