During my session today, my brain kept looping back to being so tired of myself and my own issues. I want to get over myself if that makes sense? Maybe I need to take a break from therapy? It’s been a year and a half of emdr. For background clarification, I’ve come a long way and made progress but “not enough” in my personal opinion and I’m kinda sick and tired of dealing with myself. Hope this makes sense to anyone.

Was with a guy for 10 yrs on and off. He has a lot of what I’d consider toxic traits. Ghosting, minimizing, not able to have deep conversations, lacking empathy etc. His new girlfriend seems quite pleased with him. We had a very awkward conversation lol. Got me thinking..can he have treated only me like that? Maybe he really loves her so he treats her really well?

I’m consumed with thoughts of revenge against him and his “girlfriend”. I know I have to let this go and get on with my life. I just can’t believe he got away with all his lies and crap and they are seemingly happy together.

How do these narcs get away with it? My friend is still dating this guy who cheated on her from literally the very beginning of their relationship and continued on for 8 months. She was sent solid PROOF from the mistress but yet she remains convinced by him that the other woman is crazy and made it all up. Like how oh how do they get away with these lies?? I gently tried to sway her but she’s drank the kool-aid. Why would she forgive someone like that? It’s hurt our friendship.
