Really struggling.. recovering from narcissistic abuse from ex

[Inamess2022]

I’ve written on here before but the last few days I have felt really triggered and I cannot seem to drag myself out of this slump..I’ve been keeping busy making new friends and seeing old ones. My ex has made me feel old, useless and like I can never trust another man again for the rest of my life. And I’m only 45 😞😞I don’t know how to deal with this. I am waiting for therapy and have a domestic abuse service involved as well but I just don’t know how to get past these blips.

It must be very hard OP.

Abuse destroys your foundations so makes it hard for you to re-build.

But you have made your escape, the biggest and hardest thing to do, and bit by bit, one brick at a time, you will build yourself up. You have done really well seeing friends old and new… keep on keeping busy.
