Hi - I think there's PTSD as a result of longterm identity subjugation by a narcissistic parent. So, yes...
I've been trying to better understand *identity* over the past year or two...how such a childhood made me more susceptible to manipulations by bullying types, why "I" so quickly disappear in these circumstances. Troubling. Horrible experience with a work environment recently - narcissistic supevisor - it's taken me about two years to get back to where I was before; the intrusive thoughts continue to hold me back, keep me from retuning to that more resilient place.
Have never been on a antipsichotic. Tried all the "-als" and they didn't help much. Am about to start on 50 mg Serzone, as the intrusiveness and abusive nature of these negative thoughts (that ole negative introject) becomes unbearable at times, which leads to depression. At least I think that's what's happening.
Any suggestions for working into Serzone would be appreciated! Meanwhile, I continue to exercise, get outside, and do all the other self soothing things I can to get some strength back and deal with the intrusive thoughts.
I'm an optimist, but I carry an umbrella. Or 2. Sometimes 3.
