Sick of life with PTSD, I really just want to end the pain.

I'm being bullied because my manager was sexually harassing me and I decided to set some boundaries with her. She's probably a sociopath, and it just seemed familiar to me because my mom's like that; I only made the connection recently. She targeted another co-worker who ended up having a nervous breakdown and quitting, and she and her minions thought it was hilarious. Last week I overheard one minion say "I hope we scar him for life!" and she laughed her ass off. These are not nice people, and HR told me to find a new job, so not much I can do except leave.

I tried seeing a therapist, but she ended up scamming me. Because I grew up in a family of sociopaths who conned me my whole life. I am seriously just realizing this right now, and it's like my entire sense of reality is coming apart. It's some pretty freaky and difficult stuff to deal with. I also tried to see another therapist, but the dude ended up sexually harassing me. And I'm a guy! That really sucked, it was a one-two punch.

My life is basically a long list of things like that, I was raised to be a victim under the threat of death pretty much. Only in the past few weeks I've finally put the pieces together. This is what I've been working on the past 5 years using CBT materials on my own.

I grew up in a family of very intelligent and very dangerous people, so this has not been a fun journey. and I've done it alone. And I think it's finally taking its toll on me.

I just can't imagine what human being would ever want a person like me in their life, I had a really bizarre and difficult life, and I'm not the picture of suburban perfection. I was born into a cursed, limited life of pain, pretty much, and it just sucks.

Thanks for reading and responding, btw.
