Time has been my friend - I'm back to me :)
Time has been my friend - I'm back to me :)
Nearly 8 months out, I truly feel that I've reached Step 6. Time has been my healer. It started happening @ 4 months but not until now ( this week) do I truly feel that I have entered a near recovery period. I was with narc for about 22 months.
I walk to work and I'm happy. I go out and I'm content. I don't feel that inner sadness anymore of something I lost because I've found the old me again. I looked at a photo the other day and there was just indifference. A person in a picture. That is all he represents.
It helps that I have made a couple of new friends who are types of ppl I needed around. Genuine people. And I saw an ex bf whilst out at a bar and a wave of nostalgia hit me. I remembered our good rship before I left the rship ( because I was young and silly) and recalled who I was back then. This recognition of my true self propelled me forward so fast that I know I have made real ground work.
No bf thus far, no real dating and it's probably exactly what I needed. When I do meet someone new, I'll be a bigger and better person. I now know what I want & deserve.
Even though narc lives not far from me, he is just somebody I used to know. Not somebody I shared anything special with. My emotional connection to that part has now been severed and it is the best way for me to continue on my journey forward.
I could not be happier. 8 months ago I was stuck in a fog of deceit, anxiety and emotional pain. Today I come out with strength, determination and a new lease on life.
Phew! Finally made it :-)
This site has been the best recovery spot I could have ever asked for.
Congratulations! Thank you!
So happy for you! Thanks for
Journey on...
