Im putting this in the emotional flashbacks section, because this might also be an emotional flashback.
Once again, i just want to get something out.
I believe my X was a narc. His T and mine said he has narc traits.
He hurt me in the relationship.
I hurt him too.
He broke up with me, after 9 years, and did some really hurtful things even though we weren't in a relationship anymore. I cut contact with him.
This person, ill call her J, knew about how X hurt me and what he did.
She came and helped me move out all the stuff he packed into bin bags with out my permission after i left upset, and this was on my birthday.
He moved another girl in straight away after we talked about this and i said that whilst i was finding my own place and still living at his, i don't want her here.
T said that was reasonable as he is being disrespectful and selfish.
i moved out as they were in bed to gether despite agreeing on this, and his behaviour was scaring me.
She said she had relationships with narcs in her time, so she said she understood.
She said she was disappointed at his behaviour and what he did.
We have this group we go to, at the Allotment (as part of volunteering)
X didnt go to the group.
J believed that he was being considerate, despite evetytig else he did such as flaunting his new girlfriend in front of me, despite asking me how i felt about it, and yet still doing it.
But-
I thought that X was not coming to the Allotment because he knew that J was on my side (she said she was leaning more towards me as she had been there herself)
and he felt too uncomfortable, because J knew everything he had done.
Lately, i have been on a self destruct mission.
Started after a T session in which i felt invalidated.
As part of this self destruct mission, I told X that he could come to the allotment and asked J to get in touch with him to tell him that.
I am not going to go because its too hard to be around him.
I felt that -
during the relationship, be both hurt each other.
Only difference is, is that when the relationship was over, he continued to hurt me, whilst i didnt hurt him. So i felt justified in not wanting him to come back to the group, and J said she understood and that it was fine.
She even said she didnt really want him to come back.
After telling X that i wanted him to go back to the group, i told J that i warted him to come back, (she runs the group),
that it was not fair that he wasnt going to the group, and that i am just as bad as he is, that i hurt him a lot, if he did anything at all that was wrong.
(And this was all because of something T said in session, which i might have interpreted wrongly so i was taking all the blame)
J text me last night saying:
that X took me very seriously today when i said that i wanted him to come back and that he was very touched.
I replied saying (not that i was self destructing)
Im sure he did because he thinks I'm doing the right thing.
I said, i don't know if I'm doing the right thing but i don't like myself very much at the moment, so I'm just going to bow out.
She text back saying:
that it wont be easy but she thinks I'm doing the right thing and that it might make it easier in a way.
I understand the feeling of doubting yourself.
You are going through huge changes at the moment, so don't be so hard on your self.
This assessment cant be helping either.
Try to sleep.

Was i hoping sub consciously that people would see that I'm self destructing and want me to stop?
She seems to have changed her thinking to me. She is different to how she was at the beginning when i thought she was there for me.
I wonder if X has been saying things to her. They have been texting.
I dont trust her. She said he tries to remain neural but I'm thinking that maybe she believes whatever he has been saying to her.
I think that she might think that i am the bad one, that i am completely in the wrong and delusional.
I don't know if i am!!
After that text, i just felt so invalidated, brushed aside, as through known can see me, known cares, know one would even care if i died.
I couldn't express my rage cos of living with others, and it just felt too huge and scary.
I went walking at midnight and drank the rest of the night to dull my feelings.
Im in so much pain and i don't know if its my fault.
I have known in the world. And i feel that know one is trustworthy.
This woman isn't here for me at all, and she hasnt been due to some of the other things she has been doing, which i don't know if its all in my head or not.
Sometimes, i just don't want to live anymore.
Im in so much pain and know one can help me.
Not even T it feels.
Know one would care even if they knew.
And i said to this woman when she told about an awful night she had and how alone she felt, that if she felt she could, to ring me if she wanted someone to be with her, or to talk to.
Maybe I'm thinking that she should have *known how i felt* last night but maybe my text wasnt clear.
Was it obvious from my text that i wasnt doing ok??
Are people just ignoring my pain?
Am i expressing it in an outer child way that doesnt convey my message that i want help to others properly?
i just hoped that she was trustworthy.
Even if she is, i cant trust it and then more dark thoughts come, such as, well, ill never be able to have a relationship anyway cos i cant trust.
What if theres more going on behind the scenes that I'm unaware of?
Im not sure if I'm a bad person...but I'm convincing others that i am, and they are believing me.
maybe I'm delusional if i think I'm not a bad person.
I am seriously considering going back on anti depressants because i feel just awful and everything feels so hopeless, and not just because of the text. This has been going on for about two weeks now.
i need to know if I'm seeing things wrongly, even if it hurts me.
it just feels that everyone believes my mother, not me (as in my dad- he backed up her behaviour and said she didnt do anything wrong, even though they are divorced)
and what if J believes my X?
