How do I recover from narcissistic abuse

[namechangedasitsneeded]

Posting here for traffic as I need support quick. Back story, abusive partner 5 years on and off, arrested Feb for stalking, harassment, assault and rape. He was arrested again last night for stalking and harassment. He is posting about me on social media (my friend is keeping an eye on what's going on) which has again been reported to the police. I know he will do anything he can to now destroy me. I feel very much on edge, sick, anxious and struggling to function. I have support from victim support, trauma focused counselling (which isn't on this week) and I have done the freedom program. I can't sleep due to nightmares and I am always looking over my shoulder. I would love some advice from anyone who has come out the other side as the way I feel currently is the worse I have ever felt. Thank you

Hello. I am so sorry you are going through this, and I’m afraid I don’t have any advice for you, but I am bumping this in the hope that someone else might see it who can help you.

Hi, I have been where you are now. Things improve, really they do. I'm happy to talk you through my experiences and be an Ear if you'd like to PM me. (I'd rather not post the details publically for all to see forever and a day!)

Hi, feel free to pm me also x

For me, two years on, the most important thing was talking. To a counsellor, to trusted friends, to others who had been through the same. Following accounts on Instagram who post about narcissists also helped me, being able to see its not just me is very validating

I would really appreciate that if you could

I'll follow some accounts. That's great advice
