Emotional Withdrawals?
Emotional Withdrawals?
Hello All!
Christmas is over, I hope everyone had a good holiday with family and friends.
I think since Christmas Eve, I've been feeling, I guess what they call the emotional withdrawals. I cried both Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Maybe it was the holidays or the reality hitting me that I will never associate myself with this person.
It feels almost like Day 1 of NC, however, the best way I can describe it is, there's a layer covering my heart with all my emotions/feelings for him and it is slowly, but oh so painfully being peeled away. Similar to Day 1 (and I am emphasizing the word, "similar"), my emotions are almost as raw. My heart physically hurts. Unlike the physical withdrawals, I feel at times hopeless but I can snap out of it.
Lately, in this forum, I tend to gravitate more towards postings regarding recovery and moving on. In the beginning, I was reading up about NPD.
Has anyone felt like this? And what did you do? Thanks!
