Feeling sad

[Luminous]

I just recently made my 1st move to get away from my n**********c partner. I’m happy I finally broke free but when I’m alone I just end up crying and I don’t know why. I don’t know who to speak to.

Hi. Well done for making that break. I was the same when I got away for a while. I found speaking with my contact at Women’s Aid was most useful as they have the understanding and experience there that friends and family aren’t equipped with, and I didn’t need to protect their feelings by missing bits out or pretending to be okay.

You no doubt have lots of hurt and trauma from this relationship that you haven’t yet processed and dealt with, so you’re not just going to bounce back straight away. BUT, and please believe me, this won’t last forever. You will get better and find yourself again.

Have you considered doing the Freedom Program? That was useful for me as I met lots of ladies who could understand as they’d been through similar experiences.
Lots of towns and cities have Women’s resource centres which have drop in groups too which might be worth investigating.

And this forum was very useful for too – it was my safe place for a while when I didn’t know who to trust in my old circle of friends.

Have you found Dr Ramani on YouTube yet? I found her really used for understanding what had happened to me and why I felt like I did.
These men are toxic and after we’ve been exposed to that poison we tend to be poorly for a while but we do recover as long as we don’t expose ourselves to more of it, so blocking is pretty crucial too.

Well done you. Just to add to Grey Rocks reply, I’m doing the Freedom programme now, it’s runs for 12 weeks and I am getting so much from it, even though I’m still in my relationship it still gives me support and hope. Give it a go if you can it will help you, I’m sure. Good luck. X
