Depression is a healing tonic which restores the Self to a point of equilibrium. Remember that while in the narcissistic relationship, you were identified with a grandiose construct, i.e. the false Self of the narcissist. Your old identity was peeled away, and you were reprogrammed with a new, submissive identity according to the narcissist’s tastes. This false identity is now crumbling, and your ego is undergoing a process of grief. That is the depression you are feeling.
