On top of my mental health issues now I'm dealing with heartbreak. I hope I make it through this. He had just come back from deployment :(

Sorry to read about your breakup. Heartbreak can be very hard to deal with and may take some time to get over but if your boyfriend was a narcissistic person than maybe this breakup is a blessing in disguise. I know heart ache can be rough but for your own mental health try to find the silver lining in this situation. I know it will be hard to see that silver lining but trust there is a blessing beneath it all. Stay strong!

@reservedTangerine9348 That's rough going, definitely. But one thing worse than being dumped by a narcissist is being kept, used & abused by one. Remember this: You are free now.

Going through a bad breakup too. Feels unreal and the pain is the worst.

How do you know he is a narc? That word gets thrown around so much these days it has lost its meaning. Its just another word for asshole these days and most people call their ex an asshole but they are a little biased

@reservedTangerine9348.


okay this is what you need to focus on


  1. Get up out of bed, don’t just lay there. Give yourself a few minutes but then Get up.
  2. wear something that makes you look and feel pretty
  3. put on some music and dance


slowly each day it will be easier you can do it.

@reservedTangerine9348 it's gonna hurt for a while, but if he is a narc, you'll eventually feel the weight lifted off your shoulders.

I’m so sorry tangerine! I’m no stranger to relationships with narcs.

honestly, with as much love as I can muster for you right now, you will be better off. It even hurts me to say that!! The pain you have now is very real, and there seems to be no way to progress forward. Believe me, you can! And you will!!

look for the people who still want you in their lives…. They will come back if they have been gone… watch for those people!! Friends, family, etc. they all seem so far away right now but they will be coming back into your life and will hold you up and help you heal. Look for them!

also beware… the narc will try to Hoover you back, don’t play with that fire!
