Welcome to Steemit. Abuse is a tough thing to deal with. I was in an abusive relationship a while back too, narcissistic abuse. It's been over a decade, but I still suffer from CPTSD from the trauma I experience. I talk a lot about healing and self-empowerment, gaming, and silly stuff ;)
I gave you a follow. I look forward in reading more posts from you :)
Yes! Narcissistic is the perfect word! 🙌🏼
Sorry to hear that you dealt with such trauma. Mine was more mental than physical, but I definitely know what you mean about dealing with the fallout. I’ve always been a positive person, but I really have to catch myself veering over into self-doubt territory now. 😕
Not sure what I’m going to talk about yet, but your posts sound interesting, so I’ve followed you back. Looking forward to reading!
Thanks.
Yeah, it's tough. I fell into self-loathing. I had to work my way out of that hole to learn to love myself. It's such a relief when I can catch myself and step out before falling. And when I feel I might still fall, my husband catches me and helps me get my bearings back. He lends a hand, but I still do the climbing. It's a good climb ;)
