The After Effects Of Narcissistic Abuse

Even if you are over the narcissist? you still experience so much psychological trauma, your brain is effected, your functioning is effected, the way you see the world is effected. There is so much damage in these relationships.

The stress alone has dire effects on your health. Your body can not be in hyper vigilance mode constantly and not be effected. Your cortisone levels are high and you are exhausted mentally, emotionally and physically.

You feel different like you don’t fit in the world anymore. You feel broken, and like no one understands. How could they? When you didn’t even know the extent of the damage that was ensuing.

You come out of this relationship scared and bruised, and completely lost. Not knowing if you will ever be the same again. Feeling like you will never fit into the world again. They break you down in a way that no words can neither accurately explain or describe.

The first step in healing from narcissistic abuse is, realizing that you have been abused.

You have to accept that they were putting on an act. You were dealing with a very disordered individual. They function in life and in their relationships by way of manipulation and corruption.

They don’t know any other way. This is who they are. They are wired differently and they see people as puppets for their own entertainment and use.

You have to accept that this was not your fault, and that this is the way they relate to everyone. They are broken people, who are angry and resentful and want nothing more in life than to make sure they break other people too.

It’s a sick way of looking at the world but that is the way they function. They are sadistic people who can’t handle anyone being happier or better than them.

Get out and go, “no contact.” You didn’t break them and you absolutely can’t fix them. But they definitely could and will break you if you stay.
