If You Ever Were A Victim Of Narcissistic Abuse, You Could Possibly Recognize One Of These Anxiety Disorders

If you have ever experienced any kind of narcissistic abuse, then you must've tried hard to get over all the pain this experience leaves behind.

Most people who interact with narcissistic abusers find it hard to recover, and, especially if the abuse was taking place for many years, the victims end up suffering from some well-known anxiety disorders.

Here are some of them:

1) Agoraphobia

People who suffer from agoraphobia usually fear and avoid places or situations that may cause them to panic and make them feel trapped, helpless or embarrassed.

2) Panic disorder

Panic disorder involves perpetual episodes of sudden feelings of intense anxiety or terror that can become panic attacks within minutes. People who suffer from panic disorders have emotions of impending doom, shortness of breath, chest pain, or heart palpitations. People who have suffered from panic attacks often avoid the situations in which they occurred out of fear that they could happen again

3) Separation anxiety disorder

Separation anxiety disorder begins as a childhood disorder characterized by anxiety that’s excessive for the kid’s developmental level and related to separation from the family. Even though it's childhood disorder, adults who have been victims of emotional abuse, can often present symptoms that resemble the fear of separation.

4) Social anxiety disorder

Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, is very similar to agoraphobia and includes high levels of anxiety, fear, and avoidance of most social situations. People who suffer from social phobia usually have to deal with feelings of embarrassment, self-consciousness, and concern about being criticized by others. These negative feelings are sometimes related to past experiences of narcissistic abuse, as it's well known that narcissist love intimidating and constantly judging their victim.

5) Generalized anxiety disorder

Generalized anxiety disorder involves constant and intense anxiety about activities or events — even ordinary, everyday issues. This type of anxiety is out of proportion to the actual circumstance, is hard to control, and also affects how you feel physically. It usually occurs together with other anxiety disorders or even depression.
