I felt you were speaking to me.

I am in a relationship with a borderline narcissist and I have just suffered one of the bouts a couple of days ago. Every single observation you speak could not ring truer in my ears.

One of the things that got me back to sanity and equanimity has been meditation. Deep breathing and affirmations pump oxygen into the brain like nothing else and that, in the long run, literally changes your brain.

Ofcourse, I handled that recent episode very well but I cried while reading your article because I feel for you, in the way that I feel for myself. Because I know what it is to be gaslighted for years. It takes a big hit on your confidence.

Your article is like a warm hug. Thank you so much for your brave writing and sending you one back.
