I need help to survive BPD and NPD of spouse . married for 7 years , toxic relationship. tried to adjust but no use . taking toll on my health badly
Dear Moloy Bora Ji,
We're sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing in your relationship. Dealing with a spouse who has traits of BPD and NPD can be emotionally exhausting and can take a serious toll on your health.
Here are a few recommendations to consider:
Individual Counseling: It is important to prioritize your own mental and physical well-being. Consulting with a psychologist or psychiatrist experienced in personality disorders can help you develop effective coping strategies and set healthy boundaries.
Support Groups: Engaging with support groups where others share similar experiences can provide you with valuable insights and emotional support.
Self-Care and Boundaries: Focus on self-care routines—such as exercise, hobbies, and relaxation techniques—to manage stress. Establish clear boundaries to protect your emotional space.
Couples/Family Therapy: If both you and your spouse are open to it, professional therapy might help improve communication and address some relationship issues. However, your personal well-being should always be the priority.
For further guidance, we strongly recommend consulting physically with a mental health professional who can evaluate your situation in detail. Some medical and psychological queries require an in-person consultation for an accurate assessment.
Take care,
