  • I was surrounded by toxic people, toxic environment, and toxic mindset. I'm telling my story of how my life became so toxic that I went into deep depression.... and how I got myself out.

    Isn't it crazy how well narcissists can put it on? Cocoa Bear was on camera here and there and he was a smooth talker for sure. I'm so happy that you found a much better man (for you and for your daughter now). You guys deserve the moon.

    I think people claiming other people toxic are also toxic.

    I took a travel nursing assignment in CA and it was very difficult for me. I'm a southern girl so am very friendly and don't do the bare minimum. The nurses used to talk about my southern accent and called me a republican hick. It was ironic though bc when the crap hit the fan with a patient who always was asked to help? Yours truly. I couldn't wait to get out of CA and back to TX. I now live on a farm in GA and love it. I used to literally get nauseous every day before a shift. Thank goodness it was only 12 weeks and I won't go back to CA again.

    Marlena, thank you SO MUCH for making this video. I really needed to hear it. I'm 44 and recently left my job that I planned on having until retirement. The decision to leave almost broke me because I loved the job, but HATED the environment. It was such a toxic situation, and I had to come to the realization that it was BEYOND my control. I am so proud of myself for leaving because I've always been a people pleaser, and I had to put myself and my health first, regardless of the fear of being jobless or what others thought. I took some time to heal. Now, I'm so thankful for the insight I gained by the situation rather than feeling guilty or regretful. Thank you for always being so open and honest with us. You are one of the few content creators I feel like I understand beyond surface level because you're so authentically you. ❤

    I have been with you for years, bought a lot of Make up Geek products, and never missed a video! Your eye looks were my go to, I learned sooo much from you! You were on a weight loss journey at the time, as a matter of fact ! You have gone through a lot, but have remained absolutely beautiful - I'm still learning from you, and will watch you as long as you are out there! 😊

    I texted a so called friend to check on her after surgery and I was ignored. Months later she replies with I can’t be social. All our interactions were like 2X a year via text. I deleted and blocked. Apparently I was too much by checking on her and I’m respecting her decision as well. Giving people energy and time and not reciprocated and knowing I’m going thru a lot too, not that I was sharing anything with her, other than checking after she had surgery. That tells me they don’t need my time.

    The other thing to remember is: it's not always about AVOIDING toxic people. We ALSO can become toxic ourselves!

    I ditched 3 toxic friends within the last few months. It takes STRENGTH to do that!

    Thank you for sharing. I’m 64 and had to let a few toxic people go and one was a close family member. That was four years ago and it still hurts for the one specific person because they should always be a part of my life. You have to take care of yourself, it isn’t selfish and that’s something I was always told, “others come first.” If you don’t give yourself the oxygen first, you won’t be alive to give to your child. Ok, that’s dramatic but it is true. I hope you’re finding true peace. Give yourself oxygen first so you can be there for your family. Take good care!

    I was in a toxic relationship with a narcissist for about three years. It doesn’t just happen over night. It’s slow and insidious. The way you begin to doubt your own reality, your mind, the truth. It’s devastating. With the help of my mother and a few close to me, I left when I had my daughter, and thankfully she never had to see the toxicity of our relationship. I’ve had extensive therapy to help me get back what was taken from me during that time in my life. I’m ten years out from it now, and my life is totally different for the better. I now have a loving husband who I had one more daughter with. He has raised my oldest daughter from age three as if she was his own. Thank you for sharing. It helps.

    I live in Washington State, love it here. Appreciate your honesty with cutting toxic people out of your life. I've had to cut off family members. I still love them, I just can't be around them. "Hurt" people, hurt people. ❤

    I call toxic people "psychic vampires." I am really happy for you to have had the self-knowledge to kiss toxic things goodbye. I admire you!

    I rarely comment on any videos, but this one kind of resonated with my heart. A very wise person that I'll never forget once told me, "You can give from your reserves, but you can't give from your survival". By the time I felt the first shreds of emotional fatigue, I had already depleted my "reserves". When I realized this, I got brave...I'm only 4'10" and I packed everything I owned into a 15' moving van and, by myself, drove that van towing my car almost 400 miles one way. Some called it "running away", I called it getting my "survival" back. That was 27 years ago and I haven't looked back nor do I regret my decision---it literally saved my life. Thank you for this video, I admire your transparency---nobody deserves abuse of any kind for any reason. I wish you all my best ❤
