Was this a fucking joke!!! (Contributing to my mental instability)

#LegalZoom Do You Know What Willful and Intentional Infliction of Mental and Emotional Abuse Means?
"Jeremy Kintigh pushed me into suicidal thoughts"
Let’s talk about something most people throw around but very few truly understand.
Willful and intentional infliction of mental and emotional abuse is not a misunderstanding.
It’s not “just business.”
It’s not “pressure to perform.”
It is deliberate behavior calculated, repeated, and designed to break someone down mentally and emotionally.
And when you recognize it for what it is… everything changes.
I have never been more excited to hear the words:
“You’re fired, Jeremy.”
Not because I celebrate negativity… but because sometimes removal is protection, not punishment.
Because when someone pushes you to your limit
tests your peace,
questions your worth,
and creates an environment built on pressure, ridicule, and control
There comes a moment when your spirit says:
“Enough.”
Was It All a Setup?
That’s the question I had to ask myself.
Was this a staged situation?
A calculated environment?
A joke at my expense?
Because when patterns repeat themselves
when behavior feels targeted
when your intuition keeps sounding alarms
You don’t ignore that.
You document it.
And I did.
Documentation Is Power
I have video.
I have notes.
I have timelines.
Not out of fear…
but out of awareness.
Because one thing I’ve learned:
When people think you won’t speak up, they move differently.
When they realize you can prove it, everything shifts.
This Is Bigger Than Me
This isn’t just about one person.
This is about a pattern that exists in workplaces everywhere.
People being:
- Silenced
- Pressured
- Emotionally manipulated
- Pushed to the edge
And then told to “just deal with it.”
No.
We’re not doing that anymore.
Know the Difference
There is a difference between:
- Leadership and intimidation
- Accountability and humiliation
- Performance management and emotional abuse
And if you’ve experienced it you know exactly what I mean.
Taking Back Control
For me, this is not about anger.
This is about clarity.
This is about boundaries.
This is about accountability.
Because once you recognize intentional harm…
you also recognize your power to:
- Walk away
- Speak up
- Document everything
- Protect your peace
Final Thought
If you’ve ever questioned whether what you’re experiencing is “real”…
Let me tell you this:
If it feels targeted, repeated, and harmful to your mental and emotional well-being it matters.
And more importantly…
YOU matter.
Audit your environment.
Protect your peace.
And never ignore what your spirit is trying to tell you.

TRIGGERED
What triggers you into emotional distress?
It’s a question I’ve learned to ask myself often not to dwell in pain, but to understand it. To take control of it. To name it, so it no longer controls me.
Is it the memory of a lost loved one?
A traumatic experience that still echoes when you least expect it?
An injury physical or emotional—that never fully healed?
Or is it something simpler… something someone said, or did intentionally or not?
Sometimes, it’s not even the event itself.
It’s the access we give people.
Let’s be honest people study you.
They watch how you react, what bothers you, what makes you vulnerable.
And whether consciously or unconsciously, some will use that knowledge.
They’ll press on the very places you’re still trying to heal.
That’s what a trigger is.
Not just a reaction but a door.
And I had to ask myself:
Why am I leaving certain doors open?
I’ve realized there were moments I allowed myself to be manipulated moments where I extended trust too quickly, too deeply, without boundaries. I believed in people’s intentions without protecting my own peace.
But here’s the truth:
Life is too beautiful to spend it constantly reacting to people who misuse access to you.
Not everyone deserves proximity.
Not everyone deserves emotional influence.
And definitely not everyone deserves the power to disturb your peace.
Healing isn’t just about identifying your triggers.
It’s about auditing your environment.
Who has access to you?
Who consistently disturbs your peace?
Who leaves you feeling drained, anxious, or off balance?
And the real question
Why are they still there?
Protecting your mental wellness isn’t selfish.
It’s necessary.
Sometimes growth looks like distance.
Sometimes peace looks like silence.
Sometimes healing looks like saying, “You no longer have access to me.”
So I’ll leave you with this:
When was the last time you audited the people who trigger you?
