Touch Starvation – Associated with Narcissist

This was treated like it was normal. Romantic gestures , kisses , hugs , intimacy were not part of marriage . It was deadly to my spirit and my soul , yet I held faith that change would come ..I think I became fearful of what life would be like with 3 small sons .. I learned to pick my battles in an time when there was soooo much going on . Discovering I had been responsible for everything except his day to day work, was daunting …

My body spoke to me when I quit smoking , Xanax covered and smothered my symptoms , as my highly sensitive self became an addict quickly and overdosed which was seen as bipolar ..

Touch was just one weapon in the brutality of a man at war , and is in charge ..

The essence of Matthew Perry

“I’ve had a lot of ups and downs in my life. I’m still working through it personally, but the best thing about me is that if an alcoholic or drug addict comes up to me and says, ‘Will you help me?’ I will always say, ‘Yes, I know how to do that. I will do that for you, even if I can’t always do it for myself! So I do that, whenever I can. In groups, or one on one.

And I created the Perry House in Malibu, a sober-living facility for men. I also wrote my play The End of Longing, which is a personal message to the world, an exaggerated form of me as a drunk. I had something important to say to people like me, and to people who love people like me.

When I die, I know people will talk about Friends, Friends, Friends. And I’m glad of that, happy l’ve done some solid work as an actor, as well as given people multiple chances to make fun of my struggles on the world wide web…

but when I die, as far as my so-called accomplishments go, it would be nice if Friends were listed far behind the things I did to try to help other people.

I know it won’t happen, but it would be nice.”

What is Histrionic Personality Disorder?

Typical bull shit from a non scientific DSM , that targets the highly sensitive person.

I was given this tag , as I was evaluated in an emergency situation, after 2 weeks of taking Xanax , which I was unaware of doing . Xanax has born out the highly addictive ” side effects ” but all was ignored and labeled by a diagnostics ” Bible” concoction of physical , social, behavioral, and spiritual abuses that generates lots of revenue , and is a ” mental and often physical straight jacket ” .

I hear of this more often towards women , and believe it’s targeted towards women by the patriarchal mindset.

The smartest thing I did as I began to wake from the nightmare of induced mental illness was order 13 years of psychiatric files which confirmed the atrocities committed by a Dr, pledged to DO NO Harm .

Healing From Psychiatric Drug Harm, Part 1: First Steps – Mad In America

Indeed my experience of “cold turkey ” after 3 days of no medications RX …I learned about tapering .. it was hard, to deal with all aspects of legal addiction, that ignored my extremely abused, detached partner , who did not have any interest in my health at any time I was under his control.. psychiatric doctors have revealed a disinterest as well, until my 4th , and she was amazing . She left the state , and I believe she heard my warning to leave ..She left but I was in my journey , using naturals to replace the toxic chemicals of 13 years.

I am still dealing with the side effects , of being neglected by then partner in my dental , physical, mental of spiritual healths , of having been made responsible for my own health care that I could not afford at triple the cost . That my income , with out increases , and spousal support was adjudicated reduced to zip.. the court stating there was no force of Medicare , and Social Security and then reduced my very low Spousal to Zero.

I have had lessons for 4 1/2 decades on how little my health affected him but was indeed a nuisance.. he wasn’t afraid to show it .

So getting off the toxic, addictive RX was absolutely necessary and I did not have 5 to 10 k to check into a facility so I studied, researched, joined blogs on all things psychiatry..I messed up , but I kept at it , alone, mad at 1st and finally finding peace within , and knowing truths can seen as the scariest part, it really helped me heal..

I grew strong enough to not collapse durning very dark experiences , in all areas of my life ..I did not digress .

I don’t think the matrix of chemicals, psychiatric “care” is truth , and for many reason must take a more humane approach .

The following is a lady’s experience .

I needed to teach my nervous system, via different types of neuromuscular reeducation, that it was safe to move again. Before I could walk, I had to crawl, literally. I needed to teach my nervous system that it was safe to move again. And for that I had to crawl.
