Realizing I dated a psychopath/narcissist........but I still feel pain every day. I binge eat every day to bring me comfort. I don't know how to forget about this person. I just wish I never met him. He lied to me about so many things, but I latched onto him because of my codependency. And in the end he pointed the finger at me and told me I was disgusting and crazy after he asked me to marry him, told me he loved me, etc.
I just feel worthless after his narcissistc abuse and lack of remorse. This was the shortest relationship I have been in (three months)...but I literally feel like my soul has been ripped out. Every day I just feel all of the pain all over again. I have nightmares about him, I wake up in cold sweats....
When will this end?
Has anyone had a similar experience dating a narcissist/psychopath? Who made you feel like everything and then traumatically broke up with you and made you feel completely worthless?
I just don't know how to move on.
I haven't actually thought of suicide but I have had nights were I mixed various things in order to numb myself and knock myself out. Some days it just feels impossible to get out of bed and function normally. I feel like I take one step forward and fifty steps back.....I don't remember who I was before I met him......

I just got out of a 6 year roller coaster horror/heavenly relationship with a psychopath/sociopath. The worst time was the first year when we were in the love bubble (it's called "love-bombing") We had 3 months of ideal bliss than maintained another 3 of functioning like a perfect couple- than it was quickly down hill after that- I tried everything to get back the love- he left me moved out came back silenced treated me, turned everyone against me, left me again I lost me job, lost my apartment lost everything- friends family respect- he ran me out of the town I grew up in! And still all I wanted was to be good enough for him to take me back!
hen he left me the first time- it was the most horrible time of all- I spent days and nights searching the internet trying to figure out how to be better, stocking his social media, his family for clues on what was going on because he gave me NOTHING. That's when I found out about psychopaths and narcissist. It all fit perfectly but when he contacted me back I didn't care cause I had him again- This has gone on for 5 more years
I've dealt with 4 cheating ons by him (that i know of) he is now currently love-bombing a new victom and its the deepest one he's attached too since me, so I might be completely replaced now-
It does become a habit and the pain is horrible all along- I wish I was strong enough to have let go years ago- but I couldn't - the ony think helping now is the fact that I've studied everything I can find on them- when I want to so badly contact him just for a 'fix' of his attention- I go to my printouts and read them- I know the stages he is going through with this new target- and that no matter what- it will never last- Never and than he will be onto the next one.
