Narcissistic Blindside 23 years on

[CodyJon75]

I am attempting to reach people who have dealt with a specific type of Partner with NPD.

My story is not of verbal abuse or rage. It's of 23 years of conning, using, manipulation and intense survival.

No family member listens.

No psychologist will listen.

I'm medicated and addicted to so many drugs to just wake up.

Who do I talk to that will listen? I need professional face to face support.

My personality profile has changed from PTSD so only strong recovery people I think will help.

HI, welcome

I'm a bit confused. Do you have NPD or your partner? What kid of support do you need eg a specific incident? 

I hope we can help

Dear CodyJon75~

Firstly I have answered your post about goals here:

https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/treatments-health-professionals/difficulties-understanding-treat...

And secondly, like TonyWK I'm not entirely sure I understand everything in your post here, however I'll assume that you have been in partnership for a very long time with a person that has repeatedly conned, used and manipulated you and that for various reasons you are not believed by family or psychologists.

Also that you are in recovery from PTSD and rely upon medication..

If I've misunderstood my apologies.

I guess there is a certain type of person whom everybody sees as being likable and worthy, however in their domestic situation they are controlling and abusive. Abuse as I'd be pretty sure you realise is not just violence or verbal abuse, but other measures to isolate and control a person.

If you are a person being abused in this manner I'd suggest, if you have not done so already, you contact a non-clinical organisation most used to all forms of abuse and see what they say. It is called 1800RESPECT (phone 1800 737 732) and operates 24/7

They may be able to assist you in estimating the severity of your situation and coping strategies.

I realise I've not talked about all of the things you have mentioned but this might be a start

I hope to hear from you again

I would like to recommend to you a podcast if you are into those. You can find it on Spotify and is called InSight. It is made by 2 psychotherapists Helen and Kate and they are so wise and caring. They specialise in narcissistic abuse and each episode is so informative and helpful.

Please have a listen. It is truly an eye opening journey.
