Hi Hollyanderson welcome yes you are indeed recovering from a drug addiction its called oxytocin, and it takes 2 years for a womans oxytocin to return to normal after a break up that is with NC of any kind when one chooses to break NC One is at square one again... here's a link to one great article on the subject you can google for others Dr Pat Allen though is my personal fav she's got the hard science http://www.drpatallen.com/EXC-goodwomen.shtml Thomas Sheridan is indeed wonderful and that is a a great interview BTW we all have a 'reptialian brains" we have 4 brains, reptialian or liard brain is only one be blessed k

Thank you for this... this is

Thank you for this... this is insightful to the max... The bit about how they fall asleep instantly. Wowsers that is my ex narc. not once did he ever lie in bed and mull over the day or talk to me. he would either be wasnting sex or asleep. His head hit the pilow and he was out.. I knew he was narc, but I never believed he was psychopath. Now I think he is. My mate who has business with him told me ' your ex narc is defo a psychopath' she said 'my sister is psychopath and so is your ex narc' 'they say and do things without remorse and they have no compuction about who they hurt' I was nearly jumping out the bath (which I was soaking in) listening to this. THANKS for sharing. things make more sense now.. x

They don't dream

Its interesting. That psychopaths and Narcissists do not dream either. When they go to sleep it is like a computer switching off. They have a reptilian brain. Thomas Sheridan has also written a book called puzzling people labyrinth of the psychopath. Once we are armed with the knowledge about these people they can never interfere with our life's purpose again. We must stand up for ourselves and educate others about the actions of the psychopath as they exist in all corners of our society. You only have to listen to the lyrics of some of the most successful pop music to hear narcissistic programming. We live in a ego maniacal culture and we have to know how to protect ourselves from people who would love for nothing better than to watch us destroy ourselves over them. Xx Much Respect

Yes I think you are right. I

Yes I think you are right. I am addicted to him. I am anxious and nervous when we are talking, and nervous and anxious when we are not talking. When he contacts me my hands shake literally and my stomach does a somersault. It is evil and exciting at the same time. I need to kick my bad habit.

Dealing with Jekyll and Hyde

Exactly, its like Heroin addiction. You can either do it now or later but you will have to do it. I went what you went through. Now I feel like the person who went through all the misery was not really me she was a younger version of me like a little sister and unfortunately I cannot go back in time and talk some sense into her.. although she probably wouldn't have listened anyway. However I am a stronger person now for my experience, all the highs I got from him. I get from me. When you want to create madness in a healthy person you pull a jekyll and hyde on them (which is what the narc does to us) they make us think we are going crazy by drip feeding us the charisma and (fake) love and then withdrawing completely. We are at war with people who have no conscience. It is a war of biblical proportions as these people exist everywhere in our society. Once you come through this you will have the knowledge and weapons to stand up and fight for yourself and all the good people like you in this world who deserve better. You will be a soldier. You will not be dazed and confused you will be clear, confident and strong.

Wow Holly!

Great post! Also someone here mentioning the oxytocin, that it takes two years from the time of no contact. I would like to study this further. Thanks for all your insights! I think that interview with Thomas was great, additionally, I found it very comforting and validating when he discussed self care in the aftermath. Excellent work!
