DOES F**KED UP MENTAL HEALTH MAKE YOU NARCISSISTIC?

You go into the mental “Rabbit Hole”….A downward spiral of sadness, shame, darkness…Does it make you a Narcissist?

What happens when something triggers a mental health spiral? Let’s think about this for a moment….

You may or may not go through the following emotional chain of events:

> You wake up feeling “off” or sad. Perhaps you have been here before and you just KNOW what is happening. Or conversely, you have NEVER felt this down before and you wonder what the fuck is going on inside your head?

> You Dwell on your feelings. You have these conversations inside your head with yourself. “Why do I feel so alone?” “What is bugging me so much?” “Why does EVERYONE and EVERYTHING annoy me?” “What is happening to me?” “I have never felt so tired in my life”

> You try and explain how you feel to friends or loved ones. They don’t say anything you want to hear, or they “try” and help you, but even after a long chat over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, you STILL feel blue. You still hate the world and you STILL feel so damn tired. You begin to talk yourself through it …”Maybe I’m crazy” “Maybe I am just not explaining my feelings well”

> You consider talking to a professional Councillor or a physician. Sometimes you actually make an appointment and you may go, or you may cancel last minute. Either way, you think about it, and weigh your options… Will they understand? Will they medicate you? Or will…
