No matter how hard it is, or how much you think no one will understand the things you tell them... Please, try with every ounce of determination you have inside you to TRY to talk to someone! Even if they don’t understand immediately, KEEP TALKING. They will get it eventually, I promise. 🖤5yr ⋅ unknownsenderx ⋅ r/LifeAfterNarcissism

Just looking back on old screenshots from my discard. It’s been 2 months now and it gets clearer every day to see his bs. This was one of the last convos with my nex, where I captured him transitioning from love bombing to devaluing in one screenshot.4yr ⋅ fakin-_it ⋅ r/LifeAfterNarcissism

I'm starting something new. I figured I would share in case anyone else is struggling with flashbacks. They can be so overwhelming so I've decided to write them down, write how I felt, and how to resolve them. I'm done with my ex narc's words having an impact on how I view myself.4yr ⋅ mdugan26 ⋅ r/LifeAfterNarcissism

After a 10 years with my nhusband, I'm at my first mental health appointment. It's been a long road, but after a nasty DV incident I've finally taken back control of my life. The first step was admitting that I am NOT okay, and reaching out for help. I wanted to share, because it CAN get better.5yr ⋅ DextersGirl ⋅ r/LifeAfterNarcissism

This is what the hoover maneuver looks like, exN got a mutual friend/flying monkey to reach out after months of NC. This is a classic sign of covert narcissism, a covert will have someone else reach out to avoid rejection.4yr ⋅ jlm8981victorian ⋅ r/LifeAfterNarcissism

Finally telling parts of my story that I shared with almost no one is freeing. Context he hit me and so as I was trying to leave pulled a gun.

NC with NMom for years but she still leaves me voicemails every few months. I haven’t deleted them but i stopped listening. Pretty easy to psychoanalyze... Posting because #relatable6yr ⋅ sin_morgendorffer ⋅ r/LifeAfterNarcissism
What hoovering can look like. This was just ONE of the emails after he hit me and threatened me with a cocked and loaded gun...don’t worry I’m no contact and have been out a while.
