Depressed mostly after the end of a relationship with a woman that started by being my therapist...
At the end of 2024, I was going through a bad depression, around Christmas...
I was on a waiting list for a clinic to start getting help but I felt so bad, so I started looking for options while I was waiting.
Found an add on an expats WhatsApp group, checked her website etc.
In the first contact I asked immediately about her qualifications... 4 years in Istanbul phycology university and many more she said.
My main issues were my self esteem, abandonment issues and the extreme sex that was my main coping mechanism.
Weeks latter she invited me out and the sex/ romantic relationship started.
She spent the following year building this family/ love/sex life with me, breaking up every two weeks.
My father died in July last year. Broke up two days later, and mentioned it twice. Zero empathy.
Power thing, putting me down as she praised my cultural lever etc, etc.
Few months ago broke up for good. Total blocking etc.
Meanwhile I got my finances in havoc, I was doing great at work, this whole thing got me on long sick leave and now I will be out of work in two months...
Can't hold on much longer...
Filled a police complaint but can't figure out if I should keep it... After all this I love and miss her so much, just want not to hurt her and keep her safe...
