I had some intense therapy about a year ago. I felt my life was just spiraling and really couldn't figure out why. I'm not depressed, and had been misdiagnosed as bipolar back in my twenties, I'm now 44.
I guess I just really wanted to know why I was different from everyone I know.
I was able to peel back the layers of my life to realize that I'm not the "problem". I've lived my whole life trying to please my Narcissistic mother. While that may sound harmless, it's made me very unhappy and now I'm dealing with Complex ptsd.
I'm very fortunate to have found a therapist who has been able to help me reach this conclusion. It's just awful to feel unloved and invisible by a parent. I'm going to start seeing my therapist again.
I'm tired of being on the hamster wheel of "why" this has happened to me. I seriously want to heal and just find happiness in my life.
I need some advice from those who have gone NC. Every time I have some little interaction with her it just sends me spiraling down. It's definitely a trigger and I get sucked into a black hole of thinking of all the emotional abuse.
I am an only child, so I tend to give myself guilt about the whole NC thing.
