Want to share with other victims of narcissism (NPD)

Posted by purplewings @yellowings, Jun 28, 2017

I am interested in sharing with victims of narcissism who understand that this is a medical condition that has no cure known. The goal is to share to cope with the remaining symptoms of abuse, which are traumatic and permanent.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Mental Health Support Group.

@colleenyoung yes, but it's been on and off for the last 7 months. I didn't speak to him for 4 months then he shows up when his dad died and boom starts all over again. I've been on the silent treatment again since Friday now. Lol

@tlstark08 It is great you are aware. They come back for more supply, whether it is positive or negative. It is so hard to break away. I had a person that really destroyed my trust in people. Did not speak to me for over 4 years and then BAM...this person reached out. I was excited and then yet, I know who they are. Nothing has changed. It is almost like an addiction for me. I have to treat it that way. I would respond to texts and then before Christmas...silence. So, nothing has changed and I will admit that I battle with myself about it. Crazy making people, narcissists...

Hello, i had 6 years of therapy that was only a little bit helpful about coping with low-to-mid range NPD husband. I have chosen to stay because of his other qualities, and because of our age and finances. Recently, i see some of his behaviour may actually be OCD, and i am able to understand him better. But i believe the constant stress of living with a NPD has damaged my health and made me bitter. (When they show you who they are, run fast!)
