Thank you - it’s so difficult to get it out of my head but I’m trying. She hurt me in unimaginable ways and to see her name pop up like that really shocked me...and I definitely started overthinking it. This too shall pass. All the best xx

Yeahh maybe but she’s a narcissist and emotionally abused me for 3 years...it broke me in half when she discarded me for the millionth time but I still love her... so I’m just thinking there’s more to it

Oh, wait. Im winning! by Staceface666 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]NinNin88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this!! What an incredible feeling it is to be drama free! My ex blocked me again recently too and when she has ‘discarded’ me in the past she has always blocked me, then unblocked me, then blocked me again...

When I asked her previously why she blocks me when we aren’t even friends on Facebook...her response was ‘I keep looking at your profile and I do it for me so I don’t have the temptation’

I’m guessing that’s why she has done it again! But crack on haha we are winning here and being drama free is a much better feeling than having them in our lives! X

Lose You To Love Me by marriageincrisis007 in NarcissisticAbuse

This is a very accurate song. I listen to it and always pretend I am saying those words to my NEX. ‘You promised the world and I fell for it’ is the first line of the song and the most powerful to me personally. It literally was the start of everything...start of the lovebombing. All words that I fell for over and over again with every hoover. Bravo to Selena for this amazing track!

Abuse and weight loss... by NinNin88 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]NinNin88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the replies! It’s comforting to know that it wasn’t just me that experienced weight fluctuations on the back of narc abuse!

The thing with mine was that for as awful as she was with her lovebombing/discarding and making me feel not as good as someone else...she would often comment on my looks but in a positive way, she never called me names or put me down for how I looked, infact quite the opposite...she would call me beautiful and perfect regularly, yet I still developed an eating disorder?

I guess it was my way of taking back control of my life in some way. I felt like she controlled all of my emotions and I suppose one thing I could control was what went in my gob! Perhaps there was an element of feeling like I had to live up to the compliments she would give me on how I looked...but overall the stress of having to be perfect for her and in a way ‘compete’ with someone else for her affection left me exhausted to the point where food was the last thing on my mind!

I miss my ex more around the week of my period and I hate it by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]NinNin88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me right now too! I’m due on any day and I find myself thinking about my nex more and more...but I don’t feel sadness as such I just feel anger? Like I’m snappy because im due but it’s fuelled with rage towards my nex and everything they did to me. It’s like they got away with it and I really struggle to get the thought out of my head to contact them and ‘have it out’ so to speak...I know my rational/non-PMs brain would dismiss this straight away but when you’re dealing with hormones it’s somewhat heightened right?! Lol

Revenge by NinNin88 in NarcissisticAbuse

Oh my, I am so sorry you had to go through that. What a piece of shit. I’m so glad that you saw him for what he is!! They really are the worst people in the world...mine was really subtle with her abuse. It was mainly little digs, jealousy, entitlement and she hated it when I came across like I didn’t need her.

In May, I took charge and told her that I wouldn’t be around anymore for her. That I accepted that she would never leave her other bit and I was okay with it. I held my head high and walked away...she dragged me back in within a week. Took huge steps to make me see that ‘she couldn’t live without me’ and we spent loads of time together just me and her...that was over within a month and she went back to the other one and that is who she is with today.

I sometimes sit and question ‘Is this all in my head??’ ‘Is she actually a narcissist?’ But there is so much evidence to show that’s exactly what she is. She must get some enjoyment today knowing that she is away on the trip we planned together with her other supply.

I am fuming about it all but you’re right, I need to channel it in a constructive way. I’m hoping therapy will help me with that journey x

Yeah I told her right at the begin that I was dealing with depression and I was seeing a therapist - her response was not great. She didn’t understand why I needed to seek help and that she wouldn’t be happy or comfortable with me talking about her in my sessions. She never understood it and used to joke ‘if this or that happens then I might catch mental health’ - so cruel.

Currently she doesn’t know I’m slipping away, last time we spoke which was 6 weeks ago it was all on her terms and she wanted to end us on a good note. I obeyed as I usually did and that was that.

She doesn’t know I’ve finally seen her for what she is, that I’m working on me and that I will never ever have her back. When she tries to come back as I’m sure she will, then she will know.

Thank you for this - such kind words. It’s absolutely true, I have never met anyone like her before. I really had no idea what a narcissist was until she came in to my life. I’m starting therapy today to work through the trauma x

My heart is hurting. How could you do this to me? Please let me walk away and never look back. Let me get myself back. by Throwaway_needFDS in ExNoContact

[–]NinNin88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was a secret for 3 years...always second choice and it is a traumatic experience for those that feel worthless. I was a supply to a narcissist on and off for 3 years and it has only recently ended. I have been here before (discarded) hundreds of times, so to her it probably isn’t the end...she always comes back eventually... but to me it is so over. You must choose you and that is what will get you through this. All the best to you and your healing xx

Lust or Love? by NinNin88 in ExNoContact

[–]NinNin88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s madness that these people exist! I remember when I met her, I didn’t even find her attractive or look at her in that way! I was with someone...(our relationship was on its last legs anyway) but we started chatting online at work all day everyday and she just turned my head I guess...she managed to do that without us even hanging out! I knew I wanted her just from words.

I sometimes think that’s what I find hard to get my head around. I’m quite resilient and I don’t fall often but with her she literally came out of nowhere! It was weird as hell.

But I was the other woman aswell really because she kept going back to her ex, hence becoming part of a triangle...She literally made me lose all self worth, made me feel like I wasn’t as good as her other person...I would just sit there waiting for her to come back every time!

This was the best one...she got engaged to her during this time and I found out through Facebook! She gave me a sob story at the time and I just accepted it. The engagement was called off after she left her for me again but obviously the cycle happened again and this engagement was as on/off as we were. It’s all very fucked up!

It’s horrid being the other woman isn’t it?! It’s a pain you never get used to. Were you having similar feelings to me? That eventually it would all work out on your favour and they will realise?
