SURVIVOR STORIES “I Died. And Came Back to Tell the Truth

 SURVIVOR STORIES

“I Died. And Came Back to Tell the Truth.”

Submitted to the Heal Loudly Movement. Name changed for privacy.

In 2021, she met a man on a dating app charming, attentive, magnetic. The kind that sweeps you off your feet and makes the whole world feel like a movie.

It felt like fate.

She followed love from Denmark to Cyprus, and finally to Nigeria, where they married. It should have been a fairytale. But like so many survivors of narcissistic abuse, what she thought was love quickly unraveled into something much darker.

When they returned to Denmark, everything changed.

Behind closed doors, the mask fell.

What followed was a descent into deceit, manipulation, and psychological abuse.

What she once called romance became control.

What looked like love became a slow, calculated undoing of her identity.

 “I lost myself. I couldn’t see a way out.”

The emotional damage was catastrophic. The gaslighting was relentless. She was isolated from her support system. Her reality was twisted beyond recognition. The pain built up until it swallowed everything including her will to live.

Then came the suicide attempt.

This wasn’t a cry for help. This was her body giving up because her spirit had been broken.

She was clinically dead for several minutes.

Dead.

Until doctors revived her and pulled her back.

“I died. But I came back. And now I’m telling the truth.”

This is what narcissistic abuse does.

It doesn’t just ruin reputations or cause emotional pain.

It kills.

Quietly. Invisibly. Legally.

And it’s still not criminal.

How many more survivors have to die or come closebbefore we call this what it is? Psychological murder. Emotional terrorism. A human rights violation disguised as a relationship.

This survivor lived to tell her story. Not everyone does.

And now, her voice joins the growing chorus demanding justice
