Hi there, I have been in a relationship with a strongly narcissistic male for 8 years, who is very verbally abusive and angry. I have started occasionally fainting now during arguments or when he starts yelling in an exaggerated fashion at me when not justified ( its never justified!!). I feel the adrenaline go through my body & then collapse. I dont actually lose conciousness but lose all power in my body & just fall to the ground. The worst happened about 18 mths ago and I had what seemed to be an epilectic fit, I was semi concious but had no control over the movements which were like a fit & i kept repeating myself. It is the strongest feeling of exasperation, the adrenaline goes through my body, I feel it go to my head then I just slump to the fall/fall over/off my chair. That time I did go to hospital and explained to them what had happened and a bit about our relationship and they have said I was close to a nervous breakdown. From what I have read it seems like a form of CPTSD. Can anyone shed any light?
I am planning to leave him but we have just moved from Italy back to my home- Australia and have only been here for 18 mths so I dont want to have any custody issues- I need to make sure my daughter is completely settled before I do.
