Just rambling, sharing, learning and slowly healing after learning that I wasted 5 toxic long years of my life.

After explaining to my therapist that my ex seemed so normal when we met, she asked me if I blame myself for his change. I said “sometimes” and she looked at me and said “do you really think you have that much power to create a monster, you do not have super powers”. #narcissist

Took MANY therapy sessions back and forth on whether I truly loved him or loved the idea of who I wanted him to be.

Accepting the difference was a hard one for me to understand.

Leaving out pertinent information

A narcissist will accuse you of going crazy for imagining things they did do!

[TimeToRecover74 @TimeToRecover74]

Things people don't talk about after a toxic relationship..

Questioning yourself &
wondering if it was your behavior that triggered them

Remembering the good times and thinking "It wasn't that bad"

Feeling guilty

The toxic loyalty to them, and still missing them

My therapist asked me if I ever thought Googling his behavior was a red flag… I realized I never wanted to see the red flags, I was desperate to just find any clue to make it all make sense… make ME feel better. Googling became about me wanting something he couldn’t be ♡

Narcissists are often unwilling to discuss their own actions. Instead, they focus solely on amplifying your reactions

@davephillips307 The absolute worst feeling! Crazy how that happens.. feels like it doesn’t matter how far you go, BOOM!

[TimeToRecover74 @TimeToRecover74]

Bumped into an old friend of his yesterday for the first time in years… 3 seconds into the conversation and I was triggered.. I could feel myself getting emotional and worst than that, self doubt kicked it just as it had when I was with him

Confusing and upsetting

PSA… it is NOT your fault they are abusive and heartless.

That took me YEARS to accept, so I thought I’d remind you.
