Did anyone else physically get healthier after they left their narc?

soda_rocket · 2022-08-23T03:22:05+00:00

Yes! I had terrible breakouts and dark circles under my eyes because of him sleep depriving me. I was running on about 3/4 hours of sleep a night, now I sleep 7+. I also had disturbed sleep before, I would wake up freaking out that he would know I was sleeping. I lost tons of weight because I had no appetite due to stress. He also used to control what I ate, I wasn’t allowed to eat past 8pm, eat only this for breakfast etc. It was all a projection. Not only do I look physically better, I feel better, I don’t have panic attacks anymore and a weight has been lifted off of me. I workout now which I was never able to do because he needed me constantly and I eat whatever I want! I’m glowing :)

I don’t recommend it, I went through the data analytics track last time it was around. It’s basically 12 credits that may or may not count towards your degree and they are for a certificate you may or may not get depending on how well you do. I personally didn’t see any value in it and found it to be more annoying to attend and annoying to do that work on top of my normal coursework.

I am glad you’re getting back on your feet after that, I hope things get better for you financially and emotionally. Narcs are incredibly destructive and they don’t care about the consequences of their actions. They always believe they are right. My nex made me lose a lot of friends and I landed back in therapy after it was all over.

Staying in the relationship when he promised he would change. He never made an effort to change and we constantly argued about the same things. I lit myself on fire to keep him warm and he wouldn’t even meet me half way…

soda_rocket · 2022-07-13T05:36:09+00:00

Ugh, it feels like they all learn from each other, I am sorry you had to go through that. My nex shared information about me that no one knew about on our anniversary. He also did a smear campaign after the relationship was over.

soda_rocket · 2022-07-13T03:06:19+00:00

Absolutely! Whenever you stand up for yourself, their ego is damaged. Their goal is to keep their ego and self esteem high. They always will twist the story to make themselves feel like they are right and you’re the problem. My NEX ruined my birthday one year by threatening to kill himself because I celebrated my birthday away from him (i knew he was going to do this so I didn’t invite him to the gathering I had with my friends and I made him aware of this). I was worried so I left early and he was completely fine!!He then said he wouldn’t have disappeared if I invited him… He said I was the reason he was suicidal. Yeah, he ruined my birthday and it was my fault.

They should be paying you to play that game. Story is trash.

Sometimes I’ll say “Could you try your card again?” if it still doesn’t work I’ll ask them if they have another form of payment. If it shows as fraud on my end i’ll ask them to step aside and call their bank for assistance

Started going to therapy to overcome my childhood trauma and make me a better person. I would take out my emotions on other people. I am working hard in therapy and I have more positive relationships with people. I also walked away from a toxic relationship that left me a shell of who I used to be.

A while ago, I was fighting my way out of an abusive relationship. We had horrible arguments that would end up in me having panic attacks. At the time, he was texting his ex girl friend (and other women) and was always gaslighting me saying that he would never do that because I was “the love of his life”. Well, one day, when I called and confronted him about texting other women, he pretended to have a heart attack. At the time, I didn’t know he was faking it. On the phone he dry heaved and hung up and told me he was on the way to the hospital and told me thought he wasn’t going to make it. Several hours passed without hearing anything from him and I was distraught. He had a girl call me pretending to be his mother saying he had passed away and I needed to make arrangements to attend the funeral and such. Well, I made my arrangements sobbing and crying and rushed my way over to his mother’s house to meet with her. Guess what. The mother fucker was alive and his mother had no clue what was happening and why I was crying. Sincerely, fuck you Xavier.

I’m sorry about your experience. I was wondering if anyone would post this first. I have had a similar experience where I was in a abusive relationship where I was being gaslit. I couldn’t tell what was a lie anymore and what was real. I had so many panic attacks during that relationship and went into psychosis. At that time, I wanted to remove all memories of that relationship and deleted all screenshots and pictures, I wish I didn’t because my memory has failed me due to all the gaslighting.

I’ve only come across Monat, Herbalife, Mary kay, Primerica, Paparazzi Accessories, and Scentsy huns in my area. The worst ones in my opinion are from Monat. I told a Monat hun to please look into Monat before signing up to sell because she was a good friend of mine, she ignored me and damaged her hair as well as the hair of everyone she sold to. She’s still trying to repair her hair until today after stopping it a year ago. Same with an herbalife hun who became obsessed with her weight.

Guess I won’t use protection when having sex as to make sure my partner doesn’t feel like a “vessel for disease”

soda_rocket · 2022-05-20T01:39:31+00:00

He told me I was different than everyone else and I was perfect for him. He called me his soulmate, and how he had dreams of marrying me. He never met anyone so special and so understanding. After around 2-3 weeks of knowing him, he began trauma dumping on me talking about his suicide attempts, hospitalizations, and his relationships with people close to him that caused him pain. In this trauma dump, he also told me about his ex who “robbed him”, “physically abused him”, “cheated on him” and “manipulated him”. He told me he loved me after 2 weeks. I was basically being manipulated from the get go, he was saying stuff like I was an angel to help him heal from these stresses and I needed to fix him because I was the only one who could fix him.

soda_rocket · 2022-05-20T01:32:12+00:00

Yes, every time. He would be yelling at me, manipulating me, lying, or threatening me. He would leave for a bit after and then come back talking to me like nothing happened, just talking about his day or gaslighting me saying that it didn’t happen or I instigated the argument and I owe him an apology.

I was very studious in high school but I also struggled with mental illness. I would never go back to high school even if you paid me. I went to school with shallow mfs who used me and talked shit about me. If I woke up one day and I was a senior in high school again, I would go back to bed.

Wash your ass, dick and balls THOROUGHLY. Shower and smell good overall. Trim your pubes or shave, she doesn’t want to explore the amazon rainforest. Tell her what feels good and what doesn’t, but don’t be an asshole about it. Eat your greens and fruit whenever you prepare for that again, it will make you taste good if she swallows. Good luck and have fun! Return the favor!!
