Domestic Violence Awareness Month: Gaslighting & Love Bombing

• You constantly second-guess yourself.  
• You ask yourself, “Am I too sensitive?” multiple times a day.  
• You often feel confused and even crazy.  
• You’re always apologizing to your partner.  
• You can’t understand why, with so many apparently good things in your life, you aren’t happier.  
• You frequently make excuses for your partner’s behavior to friends and family.  
• You find yourself withholding information from friends and family, so you don’t have to explain or make excuses.  
• You know something is terribly wrong, but you can never quite express what it is, even to yourself.  
• You start lying in order to avoid the put-downs and reality twists.  
• You have trouble making simple decisions. 
• You have the sense that you used to be a very different person – more confident, more fun-loving, more relaxed.  
• You feel hopeless and joyless.  
• You feel as though you can’t do anything right.  
• You wonder if you are a “good enough” partner.
