Brain Damage After Narcissistic Abuse & How It affects you

[@liljerseygirl249]

Severe anxiety, inability to focus, depression, fear of getting involved with anyone again, difficulty trusting ones-self and ones own judgment to choose friends and/or mates again. difficulty concentrating, anxiety reactions, feeling the need to defend oneself. Feelings of not being worthy, Rumination, memory issues.

I know this may seem a little off the wall but I noticed your comment and I just was wondering if there is any resource out there because I truly need some serious counseling but I truly don't have the financial backing to be able to afford somebody and my location is very remote I'm really just looking for any possible Avenues of help in dealingwith the same subjects as this video is describing. I don't even I just don't know where to start for help but I desperately need it and I'm not in a good situation right now so sorry if it seems strange. A random person online but I'm just not sure where to turn to for some help. I'm in a very volatile situation, cat see myself surviving another year if I don't find a way out. I have been cut off from all contacts basically from Outsiders. If anybody who reads this has any suggestions I would truly be grateful I need it desperately.

[@valeriegonzalez6629]

I agree. It is i.portant to see the big picture. After years of grappling with this several levels of injury I had I dependently come to the conclusion that recovery/healing is going to require a comprehensive znd global effort. In practice, I work on various aspects one by one in terms of what seems to be coming up. I also appreciate very much that Danish has revealed his personal experience of narcissistic abuse. I deeply believe that one can not "see" various aspects simy based on scholarly and scientific analyses. Getting a deeper understanding of requires looking into the darkness and one cannot get a full insight without having experienced the pain and the process of attempting to heal. You cannot otherwise impose the darkness and the pain nor the effort healing will require.

I like to put out there that from a christian biblical perspective, which is Gods perspective, a woman is responsible for bringing up the children. But since feminism is around and all women rather chase their career life instead of taking care of the children we see a drastic rise in damaged men who are basically left on their own, with no one who ever taught them the dos and donts of this life. Yes i blame feminism for a lot of evil in this world, as it goes directly against Gods order of family. You "blaming" men here is just you blaming the symptoms, the root of it is feminism and linked to that of course atheism (godless living).

Thank you for covering this; I now understand what happened to me.. After 8 years of severe childhood abuse, I was adopted by an English mother and Kiwi father...the mother has been abusing me psychologically, emotionally and mentally for more than 40 years. I used to be intelligent, capable, resilient, but not anymore. I had a breakdown 3 years ago, I lost who I was, now I am not even able to function in life. I have been a recluse for the last 3 years.....with no desire for life Thank you for all the supportive messages....I thought I would add Chain of events: @age 8 - Mother dies - meet bio father * unwanted by bio father and stepmother * Meet Paternal Aunt - Sent to live with her * Unwanted by her - sent to live with her daughter * Kept locked up for 7 years & put through every kind of abuse you can imagine...much like the nazis in Germany, and more...raped regularly by her, her husband and their friends * @age 15 - Escaped from there, barely alive * Adopted out by Save the Children Fund * @age 16 - The emotional and psychological abuse begins. All through my life after losing my mother, I have been entirely alone, no family, no relations, don't even know what my mother's last name was, don't even have a photo of her....so, there really is nothing to live for, and no amount of therapy will ever restore a life I never had.

Here after is a list of health problems I encountered after marriage. Stress that translated to high blood pressure, skull pimples like acne, acid reflux, sleep disorder, partial retina detachment in one eye, depression, fatigue. After distancing myself emotionally my health started improving. My spouse lost it after I was able to stand up for myself and demonstrated who was the sick person in the relationship. My spouse lost the mind and got diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder and Bipolar 1. And has been sent to psychiatric evaluation 6 times in 2 years. What a waste of life……

I think you totally missed the point! Most mature and rational adults would not view receiving an emoji on the same level as a well thought material gift or gift of caring such as preparing a special dinner, planning a trip, detailing her car.. He used the emoji symbolically to demonstrate that the narcissist often gives so little and so insignificantly that the empath's brain can become reconfigured to think that an emoji is significant when mature adults view it as a joke or really, an insult.

I only remember I was weak, very week. Today is two years, I safely left. I’m still uncovering and discovering the harm that “being” did to me. Please, survivors, be patient with yourself and take one day at a time. There is much hope. I just found this channel but Dr. Romani’s channel helped me alot. First, to realize I was NOT crazy! 💜 Edit: yes-I have a very deep different view of this world and other people. I see fake and manipulation in a hot second-and Will avoid it with a vengeance and no mercy. At first, I thought I was paranoid or jaded. Then I did not care. If being paranoid helped me avoid further destruction and be safe - so be it! Now, I am cautious, but at peace. I also cut all toxic people from my life. I actually found faith and God, while in the narc relationship before I left. I was so isolated and so alone, I could only safely talk to God. In the week leading up to my escape, Multiple days before I left I heard -leave and leave now!, in my head. The tone became more urgent-so I listened and left. We, including myself, wrongly blame God, when things weren’t good. I would NEVER wish narcissistic abuse on anyone. However, I can say the inner strength I had to build to survive-has to be for a purpose. I am grateful and find peace and beauty around me in nature and silence. I also became closer to God, because in the narc I saw and experienced what I believe to be true pure evil. That led me to believe there has to be a God. I don’t understand but I have solid unshakable faith. I was agnostic before the narc.

We’ve worked very hard for ten years now to nail down the safety in our home and drag him to high school graduation this spring. He is extremely narcissistic. I no longer care why he does what he does, we are both done. We are beyond tired. He is getting a car and a bank account full of money we’ve saved for him to launch with but he will never be allowed back here to live with us. Ever. We get to have a life and recover our health and happiness which will never happen with him around.

This was very informative. Thank you! I am 16 years out from a marriage to a narcissist, and I still have problems. My fibromyalgia seems to be intractable. My clinical depression and generalized anxiety (which I had before I married) are still a challenge to keep regulated.. I did have a spiritual crisis, but I am now a Humanist who actually believes in the goodness of people outside of a belief in a deity. I see a therapist who has an understanding of narcissism - thankfully I found a good one! Thanks again for helping me to understand why healing from narcissistic abuse is a long, hard journey. ~ Anastacia in Cleveland

Mine left me after 20 years of marriage and after he had completely erased me as a person.

[@gorunsko31]

I can sympathize with you. I also have been going to counseling and occasionally succeeded in dragging my narcissist husband to the session...few times he made minor adjustment to his behavior. However all marriage counselors pressured me to making more efforts to communicate my needs as I was not making it clear to my smooth operator, charming and cool as cucumber, husband. No doctor ever asked me about my domestic situation when I was seeking help with back and muscles' pain. On my own I found Dr. David Hanscom, Howard Schubiner and others who were pointing to mind-body connection and how unprocessed emotional pain will get stored in our body and it will have a negative impact on our brain. Good wishes to you.

Danish, I find your videos very helpful and to the point. Succinct. No fluff. I wanted to share that I was raised by a narcissistic Mom, with subsequent multi sequential failed relationships/jobs over my lifetime (I am 69) with narcissists as well. Being severely overweight through much of my life as the sympathetic dominance caused havoc. (not now) I received therapy, and even became a therapist myself. Did anyone ever say anything about narcissism in the process? It was a hidden concept for me all my life. Until I accepted Jesus Christ into my life in 2013. He eventually showed me the "nature of the beast" as it were by 2018. I am no longer a secular humanist, nor New Ager/Buddhist (which I was in for 40+ years). Although it may sound politically incorrect, there really is no way but to accept God and then to start cleansing that which is generational sin, and current sin and to seek forgiveness, which is the ultimate healing modality. (Narcissism is being inhabited by a demon called Jezebel, which can be cast out. See 1Kings 16-21). Being a part of "the world" is being subjected to narcissistic abuse by political/government/social media, etc, etc. figures on a daily basis, and it is increasing at an alarming rate. There is an ending to this, and those that read the Bible will see the writing on the wall and know how all of this ends, in the physical realm. The ultimate spiritual battle between good and evil is unfolding now. But a new home in the spiritual realm with the all encompassing love of Jesus Christ is all anyone would ever want.....or need. Get in the ark while you still can. Blessings. Maranatha.

[@debbieparadis5885]

Hi Danish. My name is Debbie, I am a new subscriber, and a survivor of my own 4-pk of sociopathic narcissistic abusers. It almost cost me my very life and has left me without a career, disabled, and of course, in almost financial ruin, but finally, after 10ys, I discovered symptoms of both PTSD & Narcissistic abuse syndrome and then had a life epiphany because I could finally connect all the dots, and could see everything clearly, for the 1st time, which has helped immensely in my recovery, but the one thing I cannot seem to fix, is exactly what you are talking about, today. I was awakened to my amazing empathic abilities, and I now understand even more, but the one thing I have always said is that something seems to be broken in my brain as I was in fight/flight and in an active, constant state of heightened hypervigilance for over 10 yrs. I live in Edmonton, AB CANADA, and your workshop is already over, but this is the final piece of the puzzle to help me restore my mind to its former glory, pre-PTSD, and pre-narcissistic abuse. Once I recover this part of my mind, I fully expect to rise from the ashes to destroy my abusers to protect future victims, and to bring awareness to what I see as becoming an epidemic already, and society needs to be warned as a whole to the damage a narcissist can do. As I am sure you are fully aware that they are referred to as "The destroyer of Lives" because that's exactly what they try to do - DESTROY LIVES. Perfect examples of female sociopathic narcissists are Amber Heard, and of course, Meghan Markle, in a close 2nd place. I am enjoying your channel, and already learning much. If you still have online workshops discussing today's topic, I am absolutely interested, how can I learn more, please & thank you.

I can only say...I'm alive by the grace of God after being raised in a family of ALL NARCISSISTS( unlike me, "the co-dependent"). Then, I got into a relationship with a NARCISSIST FOR 30 YEARS! I found myself praying (begging) God to take me out of it or TAKE ME OUT ! Looooong story. Fortunately, I GOD GOT ME OUT OF THERE! It's been a long journey back to my authentic self. I'm grounded in God and have CUT TIES WITH MOST of those NARCISSISTS. I'm working on the few that remain and limit our communications. I have two lovely dogs that provide more than enough genuine love for me now. I had no clue about "brain damage from Narcisstic abuse. OMG.. I'm amazed that I'm still here at 66 years of age. What a besting I've taken all my life😔 PS I have lung problems that exacerbate throughout the year and gave to get on steroids. Over 40 years now. Yes AUTO-IMMUNE DISEASES are definitely related to Narcissistic abuse. Til thus day doctors cannot explain what or why this is happening. Of course not, IT'S EMOTIONAL.

Thank you so much. Your explanation of the effects of narcissistic abuse was very informative and explained my own situation exactly. The effects on the body are very difficult to cope with. I suffer from all the symptoms you described and find them very disabling. I also find it difficult to seek any medical advice because I am accused of being a hypochondriac by the narcissist and my pain is belittled which makes it even harder to cope with. I am in the process of separating from the narcissist but due to financial constraints this is also proving to be difficult.

Since the abuse, i no longer trust people by default. My trust is hard-earned. Is the other extreme of my previous behavior, when i trusted other people too much and shared private things with strangers. As a result, everyone (not just narcissists) was abusing me. I´m autistic, so i never got a clue, even if people were giving out hints. Also, i was desperately afraid of being alone, willing to stay with "friends", even if it meant being bullied. This is what i hate about human society the most - people keep hinting, but nobody ever thinks of giving direct answer, as such thing is considered as inappropriate. I don´t mind giving direct answers to people, who irritate me, even if it causes discomfort to them. Today, i´m no longer abused. I value my freedom, even if it makes me alone - i´m no longer afraid of it, in fact, i crave for being alone, as being alone allows me to be myself. I learned to trust my own senses too. Gaslighting no longer works. There´s still soo much to learn in this field, tho. I also became an atheist, but not as a result of the abuse. It came to me as i was relearning to trust my own judgement. Once i understood, what i was refusing to understand, i couldn´t unsee it anymore. I´m not judging people, who are believers - my answers are my own and i see no reason to force others into my POV.

My pupils were chronically dilated due to my mother’s narcissistic abuse. Only after reading the book of Proverbs in my Bible, did my pupils, and my body relax. Proverbs explains how God deals with evil people, and warns good people to stay away from them. It was a long process to recovery, giving many second chances because no one wants to believe a mother can be so evil and she had so many other family members fooled. I thank God every day for bringing awareness to the situation, and for His guidance and comfort while bringing me out from under my mothers clutches. We truly are fighting a spiritual battle with a narcissist and God provides for us His armor according to Ephesians 6:10-18 in the Holy Bible. I pray that with God’s almighty help we all continue to fight the good fight.
