He manipulated and bullied me into eating as poorly as him, which got me very fat, very quickly. I developed sleep apnea, which among other things, deprives the brain of oxygen while you are "asleep". This ruined my ability to recall or interpret events, and made me the perfect victim. Ironically, it wasn't until he came home one day and announced he had met someone else and that he was moving out that I finally had a reason to go to a doctor and not accept "I don't know what's wrong with you" as an answer. That got me my diagnosis, and I'm now being treated. My brain has now recovered and I am able to see what he is doing as it happens. It makes me so goddamn angry that I let this happen to me, but a least now I can see it. Needless to say my exit has been planned.

But when I did start to think that I had been emotionally damaged and manipulated by a narcissistic coworker, my memory went into overdrive and I started to write down everything that I could recall about this person's behavior. It was enough to pretty much form a consistent pattern of disordered behavior.JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14661398162341634138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32237145.post-23519503989361315412007-08-31T19:02:00.000-06:002007-08-31T19:02:00.000-06:00Wait, I have the same mother too...creepy.Wait, I have the same mother too...creepy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32237145.post-67813368510709794502007-08-29T17:52:00.000-06:002007-08-29T17:52:00.000-06:00And if you're afraid of being gaslighted, or talke...And if you're afraid of being gaslighted, or talked into "forgiving and forgetting," start a journal. Write down what happened, the date and time.
