No one is worth losing your mind/yourself over. And, this not only applies to romantic relationships, but also to friendships and family ties as well. Protect your peace. 💜 #narcissisticabuse #narcissisticabuseawareness #narcissism #domesticabuse #divorce #selfcare #mentalhealth

Lying is something that comes natural to #narcissists. Rest assured that whenever they lie, they're not doing it to protect the person they're lying to. They're doing it to protect their narcissistic supply. #narcissisticabuse #narcissisticpersonalitydisorder #narcissism #divorce

The process that comes with being triggered- as painful and uncomfortable as it might be- will enable you to heal and help you to regain your happiness and your inner peace. Trust the process. It's not always pretty.#narcissisticabuse #narcissism #domesticabuse #healing #selfcare

Be encouraged. Know that your trouble today will become your triumph tomorrow, as long as you stick with it and do the work. Press on toward your #healing .💜🙏🏾 #narcissisticabuse #narcissisticpersonalitydisorder #narcissism #selfcare #domesticabuse #narcissisticabuseawareness

Trust and know that a #narcissist knows a good person when he/she sees one. They simply choose not to be one. #narcissisticabuse #narcissisticpersonalitydisorder #narcissisticabuseawareness #narcissism #npd #divorce #domesticviolence #empaths #traumasurvivor #healing

I walked away from numerous benefits that were provided to me by the US Military, as a wife of a service member, for the sake of the well-being of myself and my precious little one. And yes, it was a lot to give up, but it was more than worth it. 💜 #narcissisticabuse #selfcare

#Healing is an intentional process. No matter what you've been through, once you commit to it, you're sure to get positive results. Be encouraged. 💜🙏🏾 #narcissisticabuse #narcissist #narcissism #narcissisticpersonalitydisorder #selfcare #traumasurvivor #divorce #domesticabuse

Many of us who have been deeply involved with a #narcissist knew at some point, perhaps well before leaving, that something wasn't quite right. However, we still chose to press on despite the troubling signs, only to regret it in the end. #narcissisticabuse #narcissism #selfcare

When you are serious about clearing toxic people from your life, even social media circles and connections have to be adjusted accordingly. #healing #narcissisticabuse #narcissism #selfcare #domesticabuse #divorce #narcissisticpersonalitydisorder

Reconnecting with oneself is a crucial part of healing. I can recall how amazed I was when I first realized how much of myself I had lost/given away to someone who deserved absolutely none of me. Ever since, I made a vow to never forsake myself again.#narcissisticabuse #selfcare

It took everything I had inside of me -all of my strength- to look past the love I had for my #narcissistic husband. I knew that if I didn't do it, I would never have moved on to reclaim my freedom, my joy and my peace. #narcissisticabuse #narcissism #domesticabuse #divorce

Narcs are experts at turning the tables around, especially when you call them out on their BS. You may simply be telling them how much they're hurting you. In response, they may call you a troublemaker. Free yourself from the madness. You deserve better.💜#narcissisticabuse #npd

Know the signs of #gaslighting . It's one of the most common tactics used by #narcissists to assert dominance and control over their victims. #narcissisticabuse #narcissism #domesticabuse #npd

My narc ex was so afraid of the truth, he would literally scurry off somewhere whenever I would call him out on his bullsh*t. Their beautiful fantasy cannot exist in the same space alongside the dreadful reality. #narcissisticabuse #narcissist #toxicrelationships #domesticabuse

Today, I stand with my fellow survivors everywhere! 💜💜🙏🏾💜💜 #NarcissisticAbuseAwarenessDay #narcissisticabuse

"At the end of the day, no human being deserves to be exploited, especially while in the midst of suffering a mental health crisis." Check out my latest blog, 'Calling Out Abuse By Narcissistic Journalists in the Media'. #narcissisticabuse #narcissist healingafternarcabuse.com/post/narcissis…

Never underestimate how far a narc would go to spin the narrative. Some would rush ahead of you to file for divorce, then hurriedly get hitched again, all in an attempt to suggest that you were the problem. #narcissisticabuse #divorce #toxicpeople

To my fellow survivors: On this Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day, let's take the time to share our wisdom with others, who may not be aware of narc abuse. Hopefully, with more awareness, there'll be less vulnerable people out there for narcissists to prey upon. #narcissisticabuse
