For a long time I was in an abusive relationship (verbal) and I left after six years only to run toward men like that- through therapy I have discovered that once people realize your issues they take advantage of you.For example at work I feel so low about my self sometimes that I mentioned oh I'm back leaving at home trying to save my money and my coworkers make fun of me because I'm a loser.It is getting hnder my skin. My therapist said that people will take advtage of your insecurity and bring them out only to put you down.This has worked and for once I just want to put it to stop. Any advice? I am not dating. I'm trying to work on myself but it so hard

 Maybe your co-workers are trying to joke with you to stop you feeling down about your situation. You should be thankful you have a home to live in, a job to pay bills with. I wouldn't take everything that people say so seriously. Listen to your therapist and keep getting better but try and relax as well.

Why would you feel like a loser when you have a job, and the people who make fun of you work there too? Losers don't usually have jobs. Being financially strapped doesn't make you a loser.
People don't get a chance to take advantage of you unless you hang with the worst types, and let them get close enough to get to you. If you can't tell decent people from jerks, you've got a lot of work to do.
Listen to your therapist.
