Toxic relationships can get comfortable. And ending them is a real tough step that shocks your life for the short term.

Somatic symptoms were one of my clues that the last person I dated was not for me.
I was drained, and it would take days to recover, only to have to recover again. I had weird dreams, needed naps that didn’t always help, became prone to infections and frankly was constipated. I had already handled work so as to be less stressful. So yeah, now I’m doing a lot better this month, now that I’ve stopped seeing the person!

A good partner recharges your battery, a toxic partner drains your battery.

I love Dr Ramani. She's helping me recover from my stepfathers narcissistic abuse.

Wow “did I dread going home…” that’s spot on…😢

[jkz]

I went as far as to quit the job (which wasn't not toxic in itself) to realise that the reason that work weighed on me so much and that extra tension I was feeling during wfh was because I couldn't relax at home for fear of committing another misdeed

I have kind of a reverse kind of problem. I was raised by a sadistic psychopath. Entering conversations with friends about my life can immediately drain them. I know that therapists that deal with people like me are very rare because we're difficult. In an effort not to overwhelm them I just rarely contribute to the conversations.

I am 57 and I am checking off too many boxes… going to try DBT.
First foray into recovery. I just can’t accept the “aging narcissist”“ narrative. There’s no way I’m going down without trying. I still love my wife. She doesn’t deserve this shit.
I am so grateful for this content .
I am going to make the apologies genuine this time. I have to come clean about some things, I’m not sure how that’s goin to go. Therapist on Friday…first time. I am terrified and I deserve it

Thank you for this extremely helpful video. If you are afraid of going to work or going home, your body is telling you it is high time to deal with it because it is toxic to you. We must face our fears and take steps to change our situation. Action helps us to get our mind working on finding solutions and it gives us the feeling that we are gaining control over our lives.

Early on, my relationship definitely drained me. Neither of us were at our best... Now I feel I may lean too heavy on my relationship for energy. Spending time with my partner is comforting and uplifting. :) I never want it to end. Something those with cptsd don't get to experience much. I feel spoiled. Lol but a healthy, safe relationship seriously gives me the energy I need to go do those important things in life.

[godsgirl]

You both are awesome . I appreciate how you break issues down to be understood.

[BridgettB]

Blessings Dr. Ramani. Blessings to you all. You are helping me so much.

Good video! Relevant, and specific. :)

For me, i can't emphasize enough, the whole idea being like 2 young kids on a "see-saw" or a "teeter-totter". (Do they still have those anymore?) One kid sits at one end, and one kid at the other and if they weigh about the same and there's good balance, they can enjoy it. With that in mind:

Dr. Ramani asks: How do we FEEL when . . .
and my response is:
Like putting it all on a see-saw....or weighing it all on 2 scales, a good relationship and even a decent friendship needs:
1. More smiles, than frowns
2. More looking-forward-to being with each other, than dreading it
3. More enthusiasm and warmth and kisses, than coldness and indifference
4. More common interests, than tolerating the other's "odd quirks" or "weird hobbies".
5. More open & unafraid communication and understanding what makes each other "tick", than silent resentment.
Have these 5, and you'll feel Tons happier!! Who makes you feel that way?

You can have every ounce of dread and idea of what's going on but if your circle of folks condone your partners behaviors, "view" them in a good light, think they know all the greatness you "have", guilt trip you, you gotta rid everyone around too. You feel insane.

Dr. Ramabi is awesome! Thank you Med Circle!

I enjoyed the question and answer format in this one

[YVM]

Can you do a talk on the victim mentality, people that always blame the world for everything around them… is it always a sign of narcissism, when not true victim, or are thee are other complex reasons around this tendency? Denialism, insecurity, …
