A Survivors Story
Given that we are in the month for scary movie monsters, creepy horror stories and what nots, this is unfortunately not the type I‘m referring to in this post… figured I‘d give a heads-up for the Halloween content fanatics eagerly awaiting a spooky tale or even a tutorial on the how to style oneself as a Mind Monster – I‘m sorry to disappoint.
There is a very pit-of-my-stomach kind of a reason as to why, I actually have a „Health“ section on my Blog. Not only have I struggled with depression and low self-esteem for the better parts of my young adult & adult life, but I have also found, that there are such “things” as Mind Monsters (as I lovingly call them) literally out there to get you.
I‘m talking about a specific brand of human beings, that literally feast on hurting others on a purely mental level.
Through the decades, I have seen them as virtually everything from close friends, to family members, co-workers and so on, they come from all walks of life and protecting against them is sheer impossible. I would love to give you (dear reader) a „How to avoid being hurt by a Mind Monster“ pdf guide or for the more esoteric minded ones amongst you something along the lines of a smudge stick, that will give you a „Safety Zone“ around as protection once you have incsensed yourself with it and a link down below for purchase – but I have neither.
But I will tell you about some of the things that made me see through what was done to me and how I tried to get out of it with the least amount of (mental-)bloodshed.
Being on the receiving end of a Mind Monster (or several in my case) has taught me to put myself first and I‘m not saying that we all should go full on ego-maniac but I say that we all need to see that our feelings and pains are important and simply cannot be undermined and that people who hurt for recreational purposes are best to be removed from ones life.
Many times I told myself that „it‘s family, I have to accept being hurt“ and I cannot tell you the hours of my life I lost due to making excuses for the hurt someone willingly bestowed upon me. I‘m 33 and it literally took me this long to put being hurt to an end and it wasn‘t easy – still isn‘t.
- Veiled Insults
Usually delivered with a sweet but underlined condescension in tone that leave you in bits.
- Being treated like a Servant
Their way to make sure that you always feel below them, works a treat to kill one’s self-esteem.
- Blaming YOU
Making you feel like you are the reason for their unhappiness no matter what.
- Undermining YOUR Intelligence
Another way of playing with your mind to make you feel incompetent and useless.
These are the key points I use to validate, if I was trapped by a Mind Monster and getting to this place took everything out of me and let me tell you – spotting the Mind Monster is only the tip of the iceberg. Once you try to get away, you will fight for your life as they have managed to grip onto all aspects of your body and soul and they will fight hard to keep their Servant. But the worst is yet to come because once they know they have lost their stronghold on you, they will turn on you so viciously, that all that was before seems like child’s play. They will set out to destroy your life, one way or the other. From ruining your reputation by telling lies about you, spreading rumours and they do it not purely to hurt you but to make them look like the heartbroken party seeking to get validation from the outside world aka they tell their version of the story and construct it that they look like little angels and make you look like the devil.
I‘m being honest here – I have resigned from a Job, broke contact from certain family members to get away and rebuild myself back up from decades of being mind-handled by a Mind Monster and saying it left me broken would be an understatement.
Please Note:
I‘m not a qualified person in the field of diagnosing other people’s issues and illnesses and yes, one might probably say that these Mind Monsters are Sociopaths or Psychopaths – but I honestly think, that there are people that will never register on any of these scales but still can make your life hell. They don‘t need to be Serial Killers to inflict lifelong damage upon a person.
Take it from someone who has been accused of horrible things (things I have never done and actual proof of the fact), treated liked a servant for decades and made believe to be the most incompetent human being to walk the earth… at certain points I even believed I deserved being treated this way because Mind Monsters can do that to you.
If you are reading this and are quietly thinking to yourself „it all sounds familiar“ than trust me when I say YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON AND YOUR HEART IS IN THE RIGHT SPOT because Mind Monsters only ever target the good ones, the ones that give everything to be there and help others, no matter what.
So, with that in mind, know this much – you can free yourself and it will very likely do wonders for both your mental & physical health.
Whatever or whomever it is that is putting you down, you can change it – one step at the time. It took me a long time too and the dark cloud has finally left my life and I see the sunshine again.
