Hug
Hi Nonda, Oh my so true with the ego and delusional universe. I also have an N x, who I am going to divorce finally in next couple of months. I am afraid. It is so hard break free of their delusion. They are so good at it. I still get pangs of guilt when I think about him. I really cut the emotional cord with my mom but not with him yet. Its hard.
Hug

Hug
Hi, thanks so much for messages. It means so much to me. You know exactly what I'm going through. It feels good to have someone that understands this. I will message you back, but my computer is not working very good right now, so when it gets adjusted, i'll message you back. Again, thank you.
Hug
Thanks for your hugs and messages... I promise I'll write you back soon - life has been a little overwhelming... I just started back into therapy - and you know how all that crap re-surfaces when you have to talk about it in detail.... :S thanks for understanding - W

Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
I have complicated grief, disassociation, and PTSD symptoms. A long term relationship turned abusive & ended in suicide. I got involve w/someone else too soon & he turned out to not be very supportive. I'm on my own now, been down some really rocky paths but I recently am feeling like I'm coming out on the other side. I'm happy most of the time & starting to feel in control of my life. Still have my moments. I'm here to help others & gain their support during my times of need.
Treatments
- Art Somewhat Helpful
- I've always enjoyed drawing/ painting/ being creative ~~ but I have to be in the mood ~ this only helps me when I'm in the mood to do it & I go long periods where I'm not in the mood.
- EMDR Somewhat Helpful
- I did get some EMDR treatment, but the Dr I was seeing also had bio-feedback equipment. Because I was so disassociated I mostly did the bio-feedback treatment. It didn't fix things but I'm pretty sure it got me started on my road to recovery ~ I highly recommend the treatment
- Music Somewhat Helpful
- listening to music usually helps me when I need to feel better.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- Helpful for a short time, but I would always reach a plateau & things just never advanced from there.
- Talking Working / Worked
- I've been talking about my experience w/anyone who's interested in hearing since it happened. I have friends that I share my struggles with constantly. I've been in therapy & talking sometimes helps bring things into perspective so that you understand what's going on w/yourself better, and I get good advice from others which has been very helpful. I'm fairly certain talking has been a huge part of my recovery.
- Lexapro Not Working
- Lexapro helped me wsome of my depression anxiety symptoms temporarily after a year on it I started to feel like it was actually keeping me from getting better I got off of it. Side effects just made me feel weird sometimes. Had feet swelling when i got off of it.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- Took this wthe Lexapro to help wenergy so its hard to tell what the Wellbutrin was or wasnt doing see above helped at first but then I felt it was keeping me from getting better got off of it.
Close Personality Disorders
Type: Narcissistic Personality DisorderI was the insignificant other to an N for 7 yrs an am only just starting to get better. He zeroed in on my just after surviving the suicide of an abusive PTSD survivor ~ which left me battling PTSD. Oh man, talk about finding my way out of a twisted web of a mess ~ but I'm making headway & learning what NPD is helping to understand what happened ~ I'm not crazy after all!!! I am not the "N" (at least I don't think so :) ) but the survivor & can use some support getting over what I went thru
Treatments
- Talking Working / Worked
- I've only just discovered the disorder and have only talked about it a little. But I know at least 4 other women that were negatively impacted by N's
