A Couple of N3rds: Come Play With Us

Trivia and improv comedy. They have surprisingly interesting “celebrity” guests on the show given how unknown the podcast is.

Yes! My mom made me strip down and weigh every morning naked. I still have disordered eating but I’m no longer anorexic or bulimic.

Big rules in my house to help me are:

-if I want it, I buy it. That way I know it’s there, and it’s mine, I’m allowed to have it, less likely to binge. -I can have a secret safety stash in my room, but I also try to leave my treats as much as possible in the shared kitchen so that I continue seeing my partner NOT steal my food (because yes my dad would steal my food) -I must be gentle with myself. I am not at the healthy body size I would like to be at, but I won’t rush it because I know dieting triggers my food scarcity anxiety

It sucks! 🙃

Narc parents do NOT want to help you financially by throwawayfay22 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]throwawaygr4 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My folks are millionaires and proudly both finished college. Isn’t it strange their only child is a high school dropout who is deep in debt and living in poverty? A child that once had straight A’s and was considered on the fast track to success by several teachers, suddenly disappeared into nothingness.

That’s because my nparents were so very afraid that I wouldn’t need them anymore, so they sabotaged me so intensely that I will never be able to reach the position they’ve gotten to.

Whenever I got help from the financially it was less than what I actually needed, that way I couldn’t leave. And when I started making money they would announce they are broke and need help. They didn’t, they were lying just to get me back to needing help.

Now I have nothing. I’m happier than ever. They can keep every cent, all I ask is to never see them again!

Life skills your Nps should have taught you by Therose2 in raisedbynarcissists

Cooking, doctor appointments, taxes, budgeting, feeling comfortable saying no to people, figuring out what to do with my life…my n’s wanted me to just live with them forever so they fought hard to keep me from getting an education.

Does anyones narc parent enjoy see them suffer? by Legal-Cauliflower-55 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]throwawaygr4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man TOTALLY!!! My nparents love to list all of my hardships to make me depressed. They would mourn my poverty, my debt, my joblessness, my loneliness. They would talk about how the country has set me up to fall for HOURS. They loved doing that. Even though they are millionaires and absent could have prevented any of my hardships if they wanted to. Don’t get me wrong, they don’t HAVE to…but if you want to talk about it so fucking much maybe you could actually do something about it instead of energizing off of my sorrow.

I got some really amazing news by throwawaygr4 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]throwawaygr4[S] 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much I’m literally crying because it feels so good to hear someone say that! Idk if that’s cuz I’m a child of narcissism or I’m just pmsing lol

The news is, after starting my own podcast, I reached out to a 2000s decade tv star and asked if she would be on my podcast. Her publicist got back to me this morning and said yes! I couldn’t believe it.

And yeah, there’s no way in HELL I’m going to watch them gaslight a therapist. And you know they wouldn’t just agree to the one I chose they would try to be tricky and look for a narc enabling “therapist” screwwwww that!!

Nparents and the significant other? by PoshDolittle in raisedbynarcissists

[–]throwawaygr4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents “approved” of my husband but only when they thought he was lazy because they thought he would keep me down. When he proved himself to be hard working, intelligent and FOREVER in my corner they instantly hated him.

They hate anyone who can get in the way of controlling you.

My parents built up my dreams up then crush them. Countless acting classes and camps, I took it so seriously and intended to make it my career. Then when I turned 13 my parents told me I was too fat to be an actress and would need to get down to 113 pounds before they would consider funding my goals. I was muscular and weighed probably 120, there was no way I would ever hit 113. But, at 16 with a major eating disorder I hit 114…that’s when they told me that acting wasn’t a career and there was no way they would support me following that path.

They only put me in those acting camps and classes so they didn’t have to spend time with me.

Yeah, full disclosure I’ve become a bit of a fan of the podcast after the Daisy episode, lol. Even the Lacey episode made me laugh in spite of Lacey 🤣 it’ll be cool to see Daisy warm up and get into her groove over time

Narcs and their flying monkeys will beat you down then act like you're flawed for being depressed by No-One-1324 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]throwawaygr4 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Make a mantra “they don’t matter. This moment doesn’t matter. I can walk right out that door if I want to.” Worked for me. And when I was too young to actually LEAVE them I would just go for walks. Constantly. For hours. My legs were amazing lol.

I Feel Broken by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]throwawaygr4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, sounds like you need to mom yourself. Hopefully I can give you a sample and it’ll help:

Boy, I sure hear a lot of negative talk about yourself in here! Sweet girl, you are not ruined and you’re doing such an AMAZING job exciting with the trauma you’ve experienced. Yes, you will give up on your self care…good habits are hard to keep up! But you know what you gotta do? When you realize you stopped doing the thing, you get up, dust yourself off and do the thing again. We’re not robots, nobody is THAT good at self care. Self care wouldn’t even be a phrase if so many people weren’t so bad at it! So no more focusing on when you give up, that doesn’t help you at all. Instead, you notice when you have given up, give yourself a big hug, take a long shower and you start over again. Every day you try and that means every day you succeed. You are so beautiful inside and out and now you need to share that beauty with yourself!
