Please listen to your body
It’s absolutely debilitating and can take time (years) to heal 🥰🙏🏼
YOU MAY NOT REALIZE YOU ARE BEING MENTALLY ABUSED BY A NARCISSIST. YOUR BODY WILL KNOW BEFORE YOUR MIND DOES, AND IT WILL SHOW UP AS SICKNESS—chronic fatigue that never seems to lift, tension that twists your shoulders and jaw, headaches that come and go for no reason, digestive issues that doctors can’t explain, and sleep that feels impossible no matter how tired you are. Emotional abuse isn’t just something that lives in your thoughts or memories; it infiltrates your very cells, silently breaking you down while your mind struggles to understand why you feel so unwell.
You might blame stress, work, or life circumstances, but the truth is that your body is carrying the burden of manipulation, gaslighting, constant criticism, and the relentless twisting of reality that a narcissist creates. Every ache, every flutter of anxiety, every sleepless night is your body’s way of screaming that something is deeply wrong, that your mental and emotional boundaries are being violated.
Recognizing this is not a sign of weakness—it is the moment you begin to reclaim yourself. Your health, your mind, and your life are all interconnected, and by acknowledging the abuse, you give yourself permission to heal. Listen to your body. Trust your instincts. You deserve to live free from the invisible chains that a narcissist has tried to wrap around your soul.
