How to move on from an emotional abusive relationship?

0

I am at the end of a three year treacherous relationship. It took me two years to realize I was being manipulated and brainwashed, and a year to come to the end of it all. I know I need to move on and get out, but I am not sure that I know how to. I feel like I am paralyzed. Can someone tell me how to move on after a very mentally abusive relationship?

After a very mentally abusive relationship, honestly this very cliché but you do yourself. Mentally abusive relationships, or any abusive relationship at all makes you lose sense of reality and who you are. And it's dangerous because when this person is no longer controllin' your life you don't know what to do once you're free. The goal in any moving on situation is to focus on you, throw yourself into school (if applicable), focus on your work, find passions you once missed, do things you weren't allowed to in your previous relationship, and know that you're not going to get punished for doing so. Be you and unapologetic. Because you deserve it! I wish you all well, and sorry if this isn't like hitting the spot.

I recently came out of a mentally and emotionally relationship and it's really tough. The best way to move on from it is to focus on yourself and your goals. What are some of your dreams? What do you love? Use this time to enjoy things that you haven't in a while. Treat yourself with a material item. Eat your favorite foods and watch comedies. Do whatever you can to stay busy but at the same time relax because you truly deserve it. Good luck and if you ever want to talk feel free to message me!

Thank you for the responses guys! I will try and remember those things during this time. Its going to be difficult, but it has to be done. If not I will lose every bit of who I am...If I haven't already.
