I’ve never been this depressed?

Anonymous

There’s a lot to unpack but basically I was in a DV situation with my boyfriend, I got the cops involved due to the abuse so therefore we had a no contact order. we had the order for 4 months that was just lifted. He’s shown a lot of change but right now we are just slowly hanging out again, trying to fix the brokenness of our relationship. So it’s not like we are just going right back like nothing ever happened. There are deep wounds from both sides that need to be addressed but during this time being a part from him, I went in a spiral mentally. I didn’t know what to do, I was extremely lost and abusing alcohol and just the most depressed I had ever been in my life. I drove 2 seconds down the street to a 7/11 and as I walked out, the same officer who arrested my boyfriend arrested me for a DUI. Ever since all this, it’s been very hard financially and mentally. I am so upset and ashamed. I confided in my grandmother about what happened and she’s been driving me to work, helping me pay the fees, she knows my job has been screwing me over. They will say they don’t need me to come in an hour before I have to be there; they just have been awful to me which has also affected my performance at work. Ever since I’ve been physically seeing my boyfriend again, my grandma shifted in behavior. She is saying I used her financially (we agreed I would slowly pay her back) and just saying I’m a mess and I’m asking to be killed and no longer wants to hear about my life anymore. This woman is like my mother, she raised me when my mother couldn’t. My mom had me young. And I feel such deep sadness about everything and my boyfriend still yells and it scares me at times and I just don’t know what to do. He says I can’t be a good girlfriend, I’m lacking and that’s why he gets so mad and i know better than to believe the manipulation but I don’t say anything out of safety for myself. I feel my gma hates me. I feel my employer hates me I just don’t know how to stop this horrible sadness.
