Breaking free from a narcissist gets harder and harder everyday.

People who put down others have insecurities about themselves and make themselves feel better by putting down others hoping to make them feel insecure. Men especially do this to women so they feel that they can't get any better than what they are with or feel insecure to even try. The only person's opinion that counts is your opinion of yourself! Keep away from those who bring you down and surround yourself with others who lift you up :) It'll get better I promise, stay strong!

Stay strong love . Keep a positive mindset & don't let him put you down . He's only trying to put you down because he's down himself . So go pamper yourself, buy yourself some cute outfits, go out with your girls .. Do anything that will help you stay positive . You can't let his negativity consume you . You are a queen & you can conquer whatever that narcissist throws at you . You just have to tell yourself that & believe it . (:

@angelao777 @ashleea9898 thank you ladies! I'm definitely going to work on myself and try to knock out so much crap I was made to believe about myself. Its not easy at all trying to crawl out of this hole.

@ashleea9898 I'm not working and I don't have a savings. I was looking up ways to make myself feel better and how to self care for myself but so far everything includes money. I dont drive and because of my relationship I pulled away from pretty much any friends I had or they passed away during the course of the relationship

@mamaways, I'm so sorry to hear about that hun 😔 What I do in situations like that, I'll just blast some Solange Knowles, take a warm shower, get all my thoughts together, light up some good smelling candles & just tell myself that I'm worth a lot . I know it's kinda weird but it helps me . But you just have to find your strength from within . Not from no man or anyone, just yourself . He's just jealous & knows you're capable of being so much greater so he wants to put you down . & also, just pray to god to help you out during this difficult time .

There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Always. I've been where you are. I had no job, no car, no money, and my daughters father was the same way. I got out of it and you can too! 9 months later my daughter is happy and healthy, I have a place to live, a good job and I own my own car. You got this 🙌🏻👑

@ashleea9898 thank you so much! You sound like me with the solange and candle's I used to do that just because before I met me. I got so lost being with him I don't recognize myself anymore. Someone asked me the other day what do you like to do.. I didn't have an answer. I don't do much anymore and although I had insecurities coming into the relationship, being with him my insecurities have consumed me in every way. Thank you for that idea I can definitely do that. I stopped praying because I felt I wasn't being heard but I'm going to try again more Often.. And start back journaling. I love to write and I couldn't do it as much living with him destroying my personal thoughts he didn't like. Its sickening I miss him sometimes even with all the bad. I can't wait to be mentally free from his chains.

@kdstiltz wow!! Did you have family or friends to support? I broke down today because I felt so alone and I literally had no one to call and cry to. I used to tell him everything. Now he's using my emotions against me so I've had To block him but I just feel so alone and backed into a corner. My family is using my situation as a gossiping topic. I want to believe I can do this I just don't see how yet which is nerve racking.

@mamaways, Awe hun you will be in my prayers 🙏🏽 I know how confusing and painful it is to lose yourself into something you put so much effort into .. If you ever need someone to talk to you can message me don't hesitate love 💖

@ashleea9898 thank you so much. You have a beautiful soul and believe it or not your comment made me feel better. I appreciate it.

@mamaways, you'll get there . It's a really hard situation to be in, so I understand completely. Feel free to message me or something here if you ever need to talk! I know what it's like to be alone. I didn't have family or friends for support because I didn't tell anyone what was going on behind closed doors. And the first time I tried to leave him, I stayed with my mom but, she didn't believe what was happening and told me I was "running from my problems" until she saw first hand I didn't have anyone there to help me. My sister was the first to say I could come live with her. So that's what I had to do.
