My Journey: From Downfall to Healing and Getting Back Up
Hello. I am Mary. Welcome to my personal journal, where I share my struggles, pain, and lessons learned. Join me as I reflect on my journey through difficult times, hoping to inspire others and find solace in the process of healing and growth. I hope my experiences resonate with others and inspire healing and resilience in their own lives.
What is this blog about?
Hello. I am Mary. I am on a journey of recovering and healing from a very toxic and mentally traumatic relationship. I have been dealing with the after effects of a narcissistic abuse. I have been lied to, cheated on multiple times and discovered that someone I trusted from the beginning have been fooling me from the very start so the entries that you will read here will touch some very sensitive topics.
This journal is very personal and my aim is to record all of my experiences here for me to not forget all the bad things that was done to me by this person so I won’t be gaslighted and won’t be fooled again into believing him just like what he did to me countless of times.
As this blog progresses, I will share to you the signs that I missed that might be helpful to you or to anyone going through a narcissistic abuse and how to spot the red flags early on so you won’t fall knee deep onto the mess like the one I am in now.
Here you will see the very broken, messy, worst version of me and all the experiences I had with this person during our time together and even after. This will be a very difficult journey relieving back everything but I know that as time passes by, the healed version of me in the future will just look up and say thank you that I am able to surpass it all and will be proud of myself that I am still alive after all of the mental trauma I have gone through.
And going through this experience, I aim to be an advocate on highlighting the impact of emotional abuse to those who experienced it cause it was commonly just disregarded and people who suffered from it was always left misunderstood by everyone and would often be told to just “get over it.” when truly, it was as life shattering as physical abuse. The absence of physical marks doesn’t make the damage of emotional abuse less painful, hence, it was even worst and could leave an invisible impact on someone for a lifetime.
