I talk a lot about love and compassion in these podcasts. But, being in an abusive situation is a time to learn compassion for yourself, and not for the abuser. It can be difficult to know if you're in an abusive relationship, so here are some signs and signals to quantify. If you can tick most of these boxes, it's time to learn how to look after yourself.

Hi, this is Underground Confidence with Shelly Treacher, just dropping in to give you a few minutes bite podcast. I often talk about compassion and love, particularly for yourself. But there is at least one situation where self-love and being loving to others are not compatible, and that's when you're being abused. Sometimes it can be difficult to know if you're in an abusive situation, so here are some common signs to look out for and to be wary of. Firstly, something just feels off. Becoming attached too soon. Frequent jealousy. Somebody being angry when criticized or just made aware that you're not happy with something. You feel afraid. Blaming and playing victim. Entitled behavior. Keeping track of everything that you do. Telling you what to do. Frequently feeling guilty if your partner doesn't get their own way. Becoming isolated from people that usually support and love you. Threats of violence, aggression, or any other threat. Constantly feeling like you don't really get the joke and the joke has been on you. Feeling humiliated. Calling you names that you don't like. Constantly feeling like you have to do things that you don't want to do. There's a lot of really good information on the internet about how to spot physical or emotional abuse. I'd advise anybody who's going through any of this to get some support, get some help in identifying what's going on for you and in learning how to get out of that situation. There are some resources below. I'd just like to add here that you may be in an abusive relationship with yourself, especially if you're a binge comfort eater. So I leave you with this question Would you treat anyone else the way you treat yourself with food? Thank you for checking in today. This is Shelly Treacher from Underground Confidence. I'll see you on Wednesday.
