Mmm maybe your right, but the thing is I’ve smoked many times before and never noticed it… in the past when I was younger I’d hear a random ring that would last for a while and go away but never thought much of it. I hope it also goes away eventually, occasionally it actually disappears even when I think about it but then a small sound triggers it back

The worst thing is the unfairness in how society treats shit people when they are women versus when they are men. I have seen similar stories about men being pieces of shit to their girlfriends, and all of the society is supportive, it's full of advices and support groups for women's well-being etc, but when a man gets his shit destroyed by a manipulative woman, it's only men who support them, and it's just "you will get better with time/therapy".

Nobody gives a shit about men's struggles, because apparently it's funny and okay when women manipulate and destroy lives and relationships.

Loud music. That's how you got your tinnitus. Same as most of the rest of us with tinnitus. Your experience when high simply brought it to your attention. With me, it was meditation which really got me to understand how bad it was - when I relaxed into a meditative state with no external influences, the internal noise from the tinnitus was frighteningly loud. And it's only got worse over the years. Help? Sadly the best advice is to find ways to get used to it. It'll be there, at varying levels, for the rest of your life. (Source: now 67. Used to turn my headphones up too high when I was young.)

First of all I'm really sorry for you. Keep on with therapy, this and time will get you much much better. A physical activity is also something that can be very helpful.

I don't think that was really a FU from your side to introduce them, they are both liars and manipulative person's, you're better off without them. The FU is more about how you let people abuse you.

I will tell you something you probably heard in therapy: you are your number one priority. Learn to say no even to people you love, instead of trying to be "nice" and afraid to hurt them. Stop doing things too much for others, especially a SO. What happens is that you do that things for people to like you, but what you do is you make them need you. You don't want that, you want people to be with you because they want not because they need. Yes it's scary because if they don't need you, it means they can leave whenever they want. And that's probably another, very classic, issue here: fear of abandonment. You are so afraid of that, that your accept and much much more than you should.

But you're doing great OP, as long as you're making progress, it's all that matters. Writing this story here is a big progress, and I'm sure it wasn't easy. Your life is just starting, things will get better and eventually you'll love yourself. Keep going 💪

I don’t know if another redditor or your therapist has talked about covert narcissism but your ex GF sounds like one. Read about them and let me know what you think. Start with basic checklists and watch some videos by Dr Ramani - go from there. Good luck friend,

I'm sorry but WTF were you thinking? after the first hand holding you should have confronted the best friend, then it happened again and you still let him hang with you and your GF, and then to top it off you let him and your GF sleep in the same bed together? Then they had sex with you right next to you( I call BS on her being asleep) and you still stay with her?

I understand where you come from, but this instance underbelly feelings are definitely wrong. No good can come from this.

Also: think about what you think while you're in bed with the girl. What would you be thinking about the whole time? I wouldn't want to have my tools anywhere near someone that caused me so much harm. And there's a chance she ends up pregnant. Why even want to risk that?

Dude I am 43, and once upon a time I was 20 as well and guess what? I went through similar shit if not worst. At that age we do not have the mental fortitude to deal with such betrayal and manipulation. The only advice I have for you, be in love with yourself the most, think of your parents, siblings or whoever is close to you before you think of ending your life. Grab your fucking psychosis by the throat, its nothing but "How could she do this to me". If your emotions are unchained go on a treadmill and run. Your brain is overcome with excess fucky hormones, workout to generate the good happy hormones. If its legal and you can handle it smoke a reefer (nothing harder than that). Your life is not just one hoe, you have to live to see the aliens invade earth and lizard people come out in the open to defend the planet.

I know we don't know each other but I'm glad you are here to write about this and hopefully you get the closure that you so deserve. People are shit and I've been through a similar situation such as yours a few different times. Never as much in my face as yours. Be strong and keep on keepin on boss. You'll find your happy ever after out there.

Being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, this whole story was a fucking nightmare to read. I felt like I was gonna have a panic attack. I'm really sorry man, I can't imagine how awful that must've been to go through. Fuck both of them though I hope they have a terrible falling out with eachother.

OP followed your emotion too much. Moving forward work to trust your brain. No one is worth it. My ex of 4 years went behind me. Cheated me with someone twice. First one I followed your road. Love and commitment above to salvage. She said she won't do again blah blah fucking blah.

Second time I'd say yea fuck it. She did come back say she feel bad for what she did.

This is when I harden myself up. Nothing is worth youre talk health. Nothing is worth more than your happiness. Be a scumbag if you think being nice guy doesn't make you love your life to the fullest. Always know you're good from inside but you don't have to act how you feel. Put a douchebag mask on if needed. You need to be strong for yourself.
