Our program has a popular slogan : “ I came for my vanity, instead, I find my sanity ”. That was my experience of nearly two decades, until May 2019. Suddenly, the slogan became ,“ I came for my vanity,instead, I find myself a stalker”.
Maybe the following images illustrate what my story is all about these two pictures. The first one is from before May 2019 . It is my self portrait, which i drew.
The second one is after several years of dealing with emotional abuse from another member ‘s untreated “malignant narcissistic personality disorder”.
The image of current state of my nervous system in chronic Hyperarousal . This is the result of sevara years of relentless emotional abuse by another member with untreated “malignant narcissistic personality disorder”
The following image shows the internal organs effected by this.
For now, I would list physical symptoms that I have developed , as result of long term narcissistic abuse.
Chronic CPTSD:
Chronic Sleep Apnea.
cognitive delay
impairment with cognitive sequencing
Induced ADHD
Sudden Physical movement and twitching
Temporary Amnesia: impairment with short term memory.
Cortisol poisoning
Daymare
Massive weight gain.
Isolation
sudden speech impairment
Emotional Dysregulation:
Visual Impairment: dry eye and Chronic Red Eye
Chronic Hyper-arousal: I can not turn off being in a high state of alert.
Chronic state of “Learned helplessness/hopelessness”
Chronic Hyper vigilance
Symptoms that co relate to "Borderline Personality Disorder". Narcissistic Abuse victims are always misdiagnosis as BPD. I have been under the trauma treatment since May 2019. That includes 2 and half month treatment at an outpatient trauma center. The result is still the same: BPD like behavior. This is how I appear to our community.
