It’s been a long time since I felt this peaceful. The anxiety isn’t completely gone, but with the people who used to trigger me now out of my life, it’s much less. It took me a year to get here—and sometimes I still feel like the same person, just 20 kg lighter. Yes, I lost 20 kg. Clothes fit better, and the gym is now part of my routine. The biggest lesson I’ve learned? You have to find ways to make yourself happy. No one else can do it for you. That’s the key to healing. I used to feel broken every time friends stood me up. But eventually, I stopped seeking from others what I needed to build within: a relationship with myself. A real one—like you’d have with a partner. Take yourself out. Buy yourself chocolates. Sit at a café alone. The first time might hurt, but it gets easier. Being alone is better than being in toxic company. Here’s what I’ve learned: – Be there for yourself. – Don’t trust easily—take your time building connections. – Watch how people behave around you. – See if they’re with you just for their own benefit. – Be selfish if something doesn’t align with your growth. – Leave people who don’t respect you. – Don’t always be available—protect your energy. If I can do it after being with a narcissist for over a year, you can too. Help yourself first. No one can save you if you’re not trying to save yourself.

This is powerful. You’ve not only survived something incredibly painful, you’ve grown through it. And that kind of growth isn’t easy. It takes courage to face your triggers, walk away from toxic people, and rebuild your life from the inside out. The way you’ve learned to show up for yourself, even when it was hard or lonely, speaks volumes. It’s true, healing really does begin when we stop outsourcing our worth and start treating ourselves with the same care we once begged others for. And you’ve articulated that so beautifully. If ever you feel like exploring the next layers, letting go of lingering anxiety, understanding deeper emotional patterns, or even building a more secure relationship with yourself. I’d be happy to hold space for that. You’ve already done the hardest part: you chose you. Now it might just be time to expand what that self-love looks like. I’m here if and when you’re ready.
