Thank you. My friends mean well but you’re right. It’s a lot to put on them. Meeting with an attorney is a scary thought... I know if I even mention divorce she’ll want to pick the attorney and control everything... and that’s even if we make it that far and she doesn’t hoover me back with some diabolical plan I can’t even comprehend. She must know something is up. I’m acting so odd. I have not said the N word to her but she must know something. In many ways she is emotionally immature so I’ll keep her in the dark for my benefit.
I’ve been working through some of the PTSD symptoms with my therapist and they’re manifesting as nightmares an anxiety/panic attacks. I’m reading a book on narcissism right now and the chapters on control and manipulation are like reliving my entire married life as a horror story. I feel like I want to throw up. I’m afraid of her. I’m seeing her for who she truly is, what her father did to her. On a side note, it’s a fantastic book.
I think this is right up your alley. Enjoy, no need to thank me :)
I had the same thought about 2-3 years ago. Since then, I went through 2 years of therapy, did a degree in Psychology, and did some research on the link between narcissism and stress.
If you allow me an advice: do not get a diagnosis. It won't help you. You are as you are, and labelling yourself as a narcissist will only make it worse. You cannot start hating yourself, you probably have the issues that brought you here because you had a lot of shit in your life you had to survive. Be kind with yourself and try to look at it in another way.
There is no such thing as a 'narcissist'. There is only narcissistic behaviour, which is, by the way, thought to be a very normal phase in human development. Big difference.
Your anger problem might be due to certain feelings that you are not, yet, fully aware of and that you need first to come in touch with. Once you know what is going on, you can choose to respond in a different way.
Coming out as a narcissist and working through your development is a very painful process. But I guarantee you, it will change your life and you will become a totally different person. Do not choose the easy way out with getting a diagnosis so that you can stop getting better.
Also, for me, reading this book (among a lot of others) helped a lot:
