From the Artist:

"It's a magnet that continues to pull you towards unimaginable mental anguish. It's like trying the best drug out there, but you suffer and you live to do it again. It feels like you want to die all of the time in a sedated dream world. As if you have no control anymore, you give up and succumb to the right of whatever happens next. It leaves you powerless emotionally, mentally and physically trapped inside your mind. You are barely able to function, eat or sleep. You just lay there. Your paralysis, in turn gives the parasite time to eat away at your brain until pieces of your psyche start to die. It feels like total decline of cognitive functioning, maybe complete submission and acceptance of your fate, which feels like death of your soul. It eliminates all your common sense. It tells you it's better to suffer than to live without them. It means you're about to go through a lot of. And be replaced. It means their cycle has been fulfilled and they will no longer need you. Because now, your life force is drained. It also means you'll need therapy. It means you have been marked by the beast. It means you have to accept you've been tricked by an expert manipulator. But the most important thing to remember is you'll join the rest of us as survivors. And you're not alone. If you could see behind the mask, you'd hate yourself. Even more, they are weak, pathetic and insecure. They will die that way, but you won't. You'll survive, but not without wounds. You'll lose trust in people, but what you cannot do is allow them to win. Mourn your loss until you can't cry no more. Seek a therapist who is familiar with narcissistic abuse and win the fight."
