Theres days were im happy and other days i want to beat the crap out of him . Scream and shout at him. Even to person from india and the Philippines. I know its stupid but im deeply hurts. And ive become mad and negative . I helped him through his grief and he message’s naked women throughput our relationship and then tells me if i were an indian women i would forgive and forget the photos and messages. And break down his ego
Is he FOR REAL!!!!!!!!
When that knot in your stomach becomes something WAAAAY more.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer 6 weeks after our divorce was finalized. We were married over 7 years, and have been divorced 8. I still haven’t recovered from all of it, plus my brother’s death 3 years ago. I’m still in the “why bother” mindset, that I want desperately to get out of. It’s so hard to dig out of the pit when the world keeps coming at me.
Depression. Muscles in back…headaches…never heard narcissistic behavior. Dumbfounded….
When I married my narc husband I became diabetic became severely depressed suicidal have hashimoto thyroiditis now just diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis gastrointestinal problems severe anxiety n panic attacks n am constantly walking on eggshells
He yells at me almost every single day gaslights me on a regular basis which sometimes makes me feel like I’m going insane n is a pathological liar
At this time I’m trapped n unable to leave n feeling sicker each day. No pity party just want peace of mind and body. Thanks for letting me share
Headaches, vomiting, lack of sleep, diarrhea, and lack of appetite and motivation. Depression and anxiety.
In addition, I have developed an incurable condition associated with an autoimmune disorder, that will become cancer if not treated.
I got so much anxiety and stress that I got a stroke last year in December
“Ancient fatigue.” So true.
How do I stop believing the critique from a narcissist? When they use DARVO and turn it all around? I always believe the critique and look at how I can improve. And end up appologizing. How do I stop it from happening and instead turn it around? Or do I just say nothing?
I used to have hypertension as a child and was on my way to be pumped of pills. My family have a history of diabetes also. Once I left the family home, I could reduce that stress a bit and as an adult, no hypertension detected… Not being on edge and walking on eggshells helped me. The narcissist was far.. I literally moved to another continent. People even say I looked better and healthier since I moved away from my bully. I made a huge mistake thinking with age she changed.. Bad idea… Even far, she started hyping my stress levels. So I had to go back to full no contact.
Narcissist are witches plain and simple and under the law of Moses he dealt harshly with them. old school bring it back swm
Absolutely. I got fibromyalgia. It took many doctor appts. Specialist appts. Tests. To rule out other illnesses. Plus had thyroid cancer 8 yrs into the marriage.
Never connected the toxic person to my illness at that time. Narcissism wasn’t well known then in the 80’s. Had 3 children. Over tired. Not enough sleep. Stressed all the time. No help from the narc. I now see the links. Thankfully he’s gone but I still deal with health.
I suffered for 37 years, terrible stress, depression, anxiety, I lost myself, became catatonic at one point. So thankful to be free, the Father saved me.
My first colonoscopy showed stage 1 cancer. I asked the Doctor how long it took to develop the stage 1 cancer and she told me 10 years. It hit me. I had been with my husband for 10 years. Everything came to a head when I came home from the hospital. I woke up in the morning and told my husband how hard the past 10 years of my life had been with him. He moved out and I’ve been on my path to wellness in healing! He was exhausting. He kept me in a state of ‘limbo’ never feeling grounded by my own two feet. He brought about chaos and confusion. I cried for many years in sadness. Suffering for years. I continue to this day to do things to reduce the inflammation that was boiling inside of me. I feel so much better today. Don’t waste another minute of your energy and time. Preserve yourself at all cost. Consider yourself an endangered species and make like a tree and leave. ❤
Why did I get worse after leaving him
1. They prevent you from eating healthy. They guilt trip you into eating junk, drinking and smoking.
2. They constantly interrupt your sleep.
3. They keep you in perpetual stress and anxiety which damages yoir body
When I was in my first marriage I ended up with Crones disease (11.5 yr. marriage), then it changed to Ulcerative Colitis with this one (21 years). I thought I was very careful not to choose another like the first, but nay, in 4 months the real person showed up! Second side to the same coin only worse! I had many years of sever pain, arthritis, obesity and I also ended up with weak adrenal glands. While having my colon removed they couldn’t decide which "disease" I had, but all other organs within me were pristine. What Henry W. Wright’s book "A More Excellent Way" says under those disease headings is totally accurate, and probably is updated by now. Without my colon I get real nauseous, sometimes have tightness in my chest, and want to cry more. This one yells at me to get out, and when I say I am he acts better. Tried to leave, no help; now trying again but hopefully with some help. A lot more to the story, but you all probably know that life doesn’t go as planned.
Unexplainable exhaustion to your very core. Horrible brain fog, no focus, Anger, depression, anxiety, high blood pressure
I had stomach issues
wish i started listening to Dr. Ramani before lots of damage done. At 38 yrs, had heart problems and ended with two stents in the heart. Still working full time both outside and inside home without support.
But better late than never, learning so much from this videos and taking care of my situation. Thanks a million.
I can’t get out!!! I am disabled and dependent on his income and health insurance just to survive!! I’m sick and trapped…….and he knows it. Help
thats why i was always exhausted? i was in my 20’s and 30’s and exhausted. I escaped 11 years ago and since then I have WAY more energy, like waaay more. Actually i am an active happy person – a different person now.
Diabetes Type 2 has been 300 now. Before narcissism it was 110/. I feel physically ill. The person isn’t here however recently has had a flying monkey. Stress is a killer. I am 72 years old. Illnesses that are more complex. Personalities. Dr. Ramani I would like to have a session with you.

I found I had sleep problems & stress through the roof. I believe it triggered PMR & that in turn aggravated other problems also because of the stress my angina is all over the place. Lol what a mess!!
May stop styling their hair, wearing any makeup, going outside, getting dressed. Loss of interest in social connections.
My narcissistic abuse had my hair falling out and me losing weight, my nervous system was shit, I removed myself from situation and never looked back
I’m in a relationship with a very complicated guy for more than 7 years (we live together too, I know, probably a big mistake).
His complicated character was (in the beginning) charming. As the years go by, I’m starting to see a different person: not the person I fell in love with and loved, the person for whom I gave my whole family up for.
The last 2 years he’s been trying to convince me to move in an island together -that would make my life harder, as it would be even more difficult to see my family if we move there
And those years, my asthma worsened, I get sick more easily, my heart is pounding hard for no apparent reason, and I have headaches almost every day.
The guy is showing many signs of BPD, BLD and covert narcissism, inferiority complex, and I’m 100% sure his mother has NPD.
Of course, they both reject even the idea of therapy, since they don’t believe they’re problematic.
In the meantime, he doesn’t take care of his health (even though he has Hashimoto’s), doesn’t try to find a job since he thinks that he can only get "bottom feeder" jobs, he stopped having hobbies, and basically sits all day trying to convince me move to this… miraculous island.
I don’t believe in miracles, I only believe in peoples’ words and actions. He also swears a lot, he can be both the best or worst partner you’ll even know. A relationship of pure adoration that can quickly transform to disgust and hatred. And I’m also starting having these feelings towards him nowadays, I’m concerned if my personality becomes worse
What to do? I don’t even recognize this person anymore
I can’t believe I brought this on myself
The feeling of loss, shame and regret is intense
I give agee to that I had narasstic mother to live with it I took it out on the bask ball court with super tough defense and mostly stayed to myself trusted no one made it through Vietnam came home nothing changed became a lone wolf drove me to try and take my life but YAH delivered me got peace and balance through his comforting spirit became a spiritual jew added to his family Christianity made it worse now a street minister being used to set other captives free RAISE YAH
Depression
I believe there is a LOT of truth here! I was married to a covert narcissist for 8 years (together for 10). During that relationship,
I had migraines, nerve pain, IBS and cancer! His first wife had died suddenly from a brain aneurysm with an underlying condition of hypertension under the age of 40. I didn’t really make the connection between the health problems and the toxic relationship until after I was out of it. This is very real!!
23 & me is where you could go if you’re practicing no contact from narc abuse.
I had to have surgery on my bladder and colon together, and not only was that enough, he had said way before any signs of the problems, I should be worried about my health! "WOW"!!! Go from there!
I’ve been divorced from my narc ex husband for the past six years . I have A-fib sleep apnea, pre diabetes and most recently had interaction with him again through our son . My palpitations have increased and I’m not sleeping well again .. they are toxic to our immune system it’s time for no contact.
I put weight on , I felt tired all the time, generally felt unwell, stressed, like I was in another world
depression, anxiety and insomnia…finally extricating myself from the relationship ….thank you for your wonderful work.
It’s tempting to drink too much alcohol which is not good for physical health.
2 surgeries
Headaches,Not sleeping
Lack of Energy,Sluggish all the time,Blood Pressure elevated, Abdominal Hemmoghaging bad Anxiety it was awful….since he discarded me I haven’t experienced or felt anything ….
Help! I went from 255lbs at 10% body fat. Extremely healthy to skin rashes, 3 high blood pressure pills a day, lungs ache, brain fog, 3 over night hospital stays, body aches in all my joints, alcoholism, smoking, wake-up 3-5 times a night.
It’s constant abuse, never ending of I’m wrong, not good enough, fights.
I feel like I’m literally dying physically and spiritually.
So much to list I can’t here.
I went from being a alpha male that coworkers, friends, and family looked up to, to this shell of a man..
Since when is cancer acute??
Anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, high blood pressure. First husband, left him. Now my son, even harder to cope with.
You were spot on saying ain’t no nap long enough to push back on this ancient fatigue.
