Crazy Making!

When you are in a relationship with a narcissist, you experience crazy making. During this time you are in a fight or flight state of mind. You become hyper-vigilant and your mind becomes obsessed with your current situation with the narcissist. At this stage of the game, it is very difficult to make logical decisions and most of us experience severe brain fog and irrational thinking during this time.

I am no counselor, but what I can tell you, from decades of narcissistic abuse, is what I did during this time to escape.

#1 It is time to sink or swim.

#2 It is time to do some self reflecting.

#3 Educate, educate, educate on NPD.

#4 Pause, breathe and focus on the sensations in your body.

#5 Your nervous system has a lot to say to you if you just stop long enough to listen.

#6 Embrace Yoga. Yoga is a fantastic way to calm the nervous system down. YouTube offers many yoga styles and videos to suit your needs, in the comfort of your home.

#7 If you are unable to leave the abuse, you must find ways to detach emotionally and mentally from the narcissist. Yoga, meditation, self goals, exercise and self-help reading.

#8 For empaths, it is very difficult for us to put our needs before others…but NOW is the time to do that.

My final 2 cents worth…

Your LIFE is in YOUR hands. You can either stay on the merry-go-round or you can step off.

It is time to focus on yourself and not the narcissist. You CANNOT save the narcissist, but you CAN save yourself.

FYI…It’s the holidays and the narcissist in your life will do everything he/she can do make you miserable.

Step off and swim!!
