A narcissist does not just emotionally abuse you, they break your brain, literally rewiring the neural pathways that once kept you calm, focused and whole. You have probably noticed that since leaving or even while still dealing with the narcissist, you are not the same person you used to be. Small things set you off. A tone of voice, a look, a question that feels slightly off and suddenly you are flooded with rage or panic. You forget conversations you had yesterday. You walk into a room and cannot remember why you went there. You feel exhausted all the time, even on days when you did nothing but sit on the couch. And the worst part is that you blame yourself. You think you are losing your mind.
You think you are broken beyond repair. You wonder if maybe the narcissist was right when they called you crazy, unstable or too sensitive. But the truth is, you are not crazy. Your brain has been living in a war zone for so long that it forgot how to live in peace. The irritability, the memory loss, the rage, the exhaustion, these are not character flaws. These are the visible scars of invisible trauma. Your brain adapted to survive an environment where safety was a myth and danger was constant. And now that the danger is gone, your brain is still stuck in survival mode, waiting for the next attack that may never come.
