Im new here and have severe depression. I also just got outta a bad 2 yr relationship with a narcissist. I thought I was losing my mind with him. We broke up on n off this past year so I began to research what was happening in our relationship that's how I found out he was a narcissist psychopath. not a good person to have in your life when you suffer from depression and bipolar disorder. I'm also an empath so I wanted to try and help him see what he was and what he was doing to us and his family. When I would go stay at his house things would be great for a few days then I would become very melancholy. I was depressed and didn't know it . I am in recovery I have been for 2 years he did not know me when I was in my addiction. I did tell him I was an addict he was ok with it saying" your past is ur past and I don't care what u did your better now. "
Well narcissists are delusional they believe their own lies. He started accusing me of doing drugs in his bathroom anytime I went on a bike ride he claimed I was meeting somebody to get drugs or do something to get drugs if you know what I mean. Just to be clear I was a functioning addit I self medicated because I didn't understand I was depressed or by polar. I did some bad thing but not the terrible things he started accusing me of. The last fight had I told him I was leaving took all my stuff. He called me a whole bunch of names I don't think I can say on this forum. Also that he is going to tell everyone that I'm a stupid junkie and a stole from him ect ect.
My kids went back home yesterday and I get so depressed when they do. I just don't have motivation to do anything just want to cry. In the past I would go over his house and help take care of him and his parents. It helped me forget the pain I felt when my kids left. I just want to go to my room and watch Netflix and cry. Any advice on how I should handle my day???
