This doesn’t mean you’re doomed to get sick from the abuse. But it does mean that while you’re in it, you need to care for yourself. Therapy, support, knowledge, preventative health care, and finding meaning in your life separate from the narcissist are essential.
Survivors of narcissistic relationships are often the most adaptable people in the room. This is both a blessing and a curse. It’s a blessing because you’ve survived and still find beautiful moments in life. But it’s a curse because that adaptability can trick you into thinking the relationship isn’t affecting you. It is—and it adds up.
Please take care of yourself. The world needs you, the whole you.
Sharing is caring!
