The anxiety is the worst. Living on edge waiting for something bad to happen

My narcissistic mother makes me physically ill. I have continued illnesses

[melindapoulos]

constantly on the defensive. I am becoming someone I do not know and do not like.

My mother, now deceased was a narcissist. Her abuse as well as my father's domestic violence resulted me into having a mental breakdown resulting in me having to go for inpatient care at a mental hospital for severe anxiety and depression. Then I had to go for long term outpatient care. My doctor said it best. He said "there is nothing wrong with you, you're problem is that you are living with a toxic poison in your life." After my parents died, my life got better.

No child should have to suffer the way my siblings and I did. These people are toxic as hell. I recovered from depression and am now focusing on my life and living my dreams. I sing in my church choir and am taking professional vocal lessons. I'm not living my life as the narcissist's victim. That's all behind me. I'm finally free from this.

Life is great 😊

After finally breaking free of a 25yr marriage and her cult like family I was trying to get back to doing things I liked. The weird part was how it was a real effort to go and do anything. It was like I had to push myself hard to make that first step to do something I loved, like I had an invisible force field trying to hold me back, stop me.
Still kind of battle with this. It feels like you don't have the right to do these things which make you happy.
I think any of us that wake up to narcissists soon discover that we have been surrounded by them our entire lives beginning with either one or both parents.
Great video.
Peace!

I grew up in a narcissistic household. By the time I was in high school I realized that my father needed others to boss around to feel powerful. Some become narcissists if they grow up in that environment, and some become people pleasers. I'm fortunate to have empathy intact. Setting boundaries and saying no is something I have trouble with but I'm getting better. I have stopped accepting the blame when others try to dump it on me. If I have an issue I'll calmly bring it up and see how the other person responds. That determines how the relationship moves on from that point. I put my faith in actions, not words.

I find it VERY difficult to accept there are people in this world who go out of their way to harm others and refuse to acknowledge their hurtful actions. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to wrap my head around that one. It makes no sense to me.

I have anxiety, stress, depression, illnesses, sadness, not worthy😢

[jannaw]

4 year relationship with a Narc. Caught him cheating with a woman he had been with behind my back… he had been with her 8 years. I’ve been verbally abused, emotionally abused, and physically. No more. Trying to comprehend this all. On disability for a few weeks because of this all. Depression, anxiety, can’t eat or sleep. This was very helpful information. Praying for you all!

[dianejune]

After I left my ex, a friend pointed out that I was constantly apologizing. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I quickly realized why I was doing it, and I broke that habit.

[SRG-fvet]

29 year marriage to a CN has caused depression, dependency, recently hair loss, severe anxiety. In process of separation but still live together i am still afraid to do anything without him because it is engrained in me to feel guilty like I am doing something wrong. I cry all the time, and feel EXTREMELY lonely.

[marymrowiec-szmp]

everything you said here is so true. I have been married twice and both men are narcissists. they should teach this in our schools.

[sarahjaneross]

Myself and my two daughters all have long term chronic fatigue issues that never resolve. I'm convinced this is from living with constant abuse from my ex husband

[baconknightt]

Ill add another dimension. When divorcing a narcissist, they throw up accusations of abuse. Mine told the judge I was dangerous because:"He's in the Marine Corps and has access to MACHINE GUNS.And when we argue he says things that hurt my feelings."
And the judge granted her TRO, which messed up my career to the point, my command told me I should get out. Get my divorce, then come back.
The stress of having to find a new job, place to live, and save enough money to not only hire divorce lawyer but defend myself from her accusations of the tro.
Add to the fact, I didn't see our child from age 1 to age 3-1/2. He didn't know who I was. But, I still had to pay child support.?? Lawyers took their time, padded their bills. In the end, I actually got custody.

This video was the best concise description of affects of this kind of abuse. After 40yrs married to a narcissist and 5 years divorced I can say everything she says is true.

[mumsie]

Saddest thing is he doesn't even know he is a narcissist. But he tricked me too, he's not all the signs. He doesn't body shame me or call me names. It's so confusing.

[monarene]

The constant criticism and name calling is what I grew up with. I overcompensated by trying to be a perfect mother and perfect wife. I had post partum depression with the second child and my husband abandoned us. I’ve struggled with my confidence, and sometimes my sanity, ever since. Constantly criticizing and calling a child names should get protective services involved. Only a maniac does that to a child.
