How to Wipe a Narcissist Out of Your Memory

I cried at the movie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, in which two characters attempt to erase each other from memory after a toxic relationship.

I could deeply relate to the desire to erase my exes from my memory so that I could sidestep the grief and go back to the innocence that I was before abuses, traumas, and betrayals visited me.

The tragedy for the characters in that movie is that when they erase each other, they meet and FALL IN LOVE AGAIN, restarting the whole toxic cycle.

And that’s what happens if you try to sidestep grief.

If you try to mask it with drugs or sex or a new partner, expect it to eventually return, whether it is in the form of your physical health deteriorating or your mental health.
