Coping with pain after sociopath discard

Being in a relationship with a sociopath, can be a whirlwind of emotions. You can be told one thing, yet actions never match the words. There are different types, some are more openly narcissistic and abusive, others, are more charismatic.

The regular pattern of a narcissist is

• Idealise
• Devalue
• Discard

Whilst all sociopaths are narcissists, not all narcissists are sociopaths.

The sociopath, is a compulsive pathological liar. Because of this, you do not always witness the devalue stage to your face. The more charismatic that the sociopath is, the less likely you will witness the devalue stage. Remember that the sociopath finds being honest, and telling the truth, more difficult to say, than the lie.

This means that you can see the relationship move swiftly, from idealise – discard, and not witness the devalue stage. The devaluing stage is happening, but not to your face. It will be happening behind your back. The narcissist would openly devalue you, put you down, belittle you and will undermine you. A charismatic sociopath struggles with the truth. For the charismatic sociopath, telling the truth is more painful than telling the lie, or keeping up pretence. Due to this, it is common, that you will not witness the relationship coming to an end, as you would in an ordinary relationship. It is often sudden and without warning.

Another way for a sociopath to end the relationship, might be to behave really unreasonable. To refuse to talk to you, pick a fight, or be overly controlling. This is deliberate behaviour is designed to infuriate you, so that you find him intolerable, and end the relationship yourself.

Often, there is no warning at all. The sociopath will disappear from your life, suddenly and without warning.

However the relationship comes to an end, it is often shocking. You are left with your senses reeling, and feeling absolutely confused about what has just happened. Sometimes you can be with the sociopath one day, and he is telling you how much he loves you, and wants to spend the rest of his life with you. The next day, he is gone. Or the next day, for no reason at all there will be a huge argument, and you are left wondering how did that happen, and ultimately, blame yourself.

What is the effect of sociopath discard?

The lack of closure at the end of the relationship with the sociopath can be particularly damaging. It can delay healing, and it can leave you feeling, that the relationship is not quite over. You might feel:

• Confused
• Bewildered
• Lost
• Desperate for answers
• A longing and neediness to understand
• Wanting back the honeymoon stage
• Unsure if the relationship is actually over or not?
• Self-blame
• Manipulated, conned and deceived

More than likely the biggest feeling will be one of confusion.   You might be unsure if the relationship is actually over, because it has happened so suddenly and there was no build up, no warning, no time to prepare. It can feel shocking.

The one thing that you will likely feel is desperate for is answers. Sadly, the one person that can give you those answers is usually the person that you were in the relationship with.  However, being involved with a sociopath, this is not likely to happen. It shouldn't happen, because the sociopath is the last person that you should seek for answers.

It is normal to want answers. Answers give understanding, and help with closure. Without this, you can feel lost and unsure of what is happening.

In a healthy, normal relationship, the following things happen prior to breakup

• Negative or limited communication
• Emotional distance
• Lack of physical warmth
• Time apart
• Feeling negative towards your partner, and unable to see positive things about them
• Thoughts about the relationship coming to an end
• Feeling unhappy

Normal and healthy relationships can and do come to an end. However, normally, some of the relationship breakup is experienced whilst still in the relationship.

With a sociopath, the above warning signs are often not present. With a sociopath, you may have had suspicions that things are going wrong,  but the sociopath will lie, manipulate, and deceive. If you raise questions about your suspicions, you will be told that you are crazy, and that it is not really like that at all.

You might question your mind whilst in the relationship with the sociopath, but the sociopath is good at continuing to deceive you. Not wanting to be hurt, or to have another relationship breakdown, you accept the explanations.

This is why it is particularly difficult and painful, when you experience discard from the sociopath. You are left feeling confused.

Why does the sociopath discard in this way?

There are many reasons why the sociopath will suddenly discard his partner. Always, the reasons have little to do with you. It has everything to do with him and his needs and wishes.

The sociopath wears a mask. But he will only wear that mask for as long as he is getting what he wants. The sociopath is not emotionally connected, to you or anybody else. Whilst the sociopath might show connection, this would only be a disguise, to to serve his own needs.

When the sociopath realises that he can have better supply elsewhere, Or if he feels that supply with you is coming to an end he will leave you without warning. The sociopath would have sourced a new victim for supply, but this would have been done behind your back and without your knowledge.

To do so, it is likely that the sociopath, needed to play victim, to the new source. Often they would have made complaints about you, to gain sympathy and win support. Again, this will be something that you have absolutely no knowledge of, until later.

The sociopath works hard to ensure that his pathway for escape is clear.

You might think, well, if he doesn't want to be with me anymore, why can't he give me closure, why can't he call me? Why can't he meet with me?

The reason is simple, and it is four things

• The sociopath is selfish, and only thinks of his own needs
• He might want to come back for further source of supply at a later date
• To prevent exposure
• To stay in control

How do you get over this?

You might wonder how do you get over this? How can you get over this if you have no answers? You also might wonder if the sociopath is going to come back, and you could have a longing for the honeymoon period again. You might be left feeling bewildered and confused.

• Remember NOBODY stays confused forever
• Remember that the sociopath is a liar, you couldn't get the truth when you were IN the relationship – you therefore won't get the truth when it has ended
• No contact is the way for YOU to regain control
• Block email, phone, text, social networking sites, and take back control of you, and your life
• Yes YOU can choose to move on from this!
• Read as much as you can. Find out as much information as you can. The more you learn and understand, the quicker you will become set free
• Take back your energy, and start loving YOU
• Every day do something which makes you happy
• Stay with the present
• Think positive (you are what you think)
• Realise that this is NOT your fault, there is nothing that you did wrong (no matter what he says)
• Don't waste time wondering what he is doing
• Make contact with others who have been through the same thing
• Make yourself some new life goals
• Be gentle on yourself
• The most important rule of all is to NOT expect closure or answers from the sociopath
• Remember – the sociopath is the liar, and if he gets back in touch, it is only because he wants to use you for further supply – you deserve better
• Also remember that this is not just you, there are millions of us who have been through the same thing.
• Most important of all, is to forgive yourself, and start loving you again! 

~ Two years later, still "jailed" for my indiscretion in having this relationship at all, I struggle daily with alienation. Weeks, months go by without communicating with Anyone. I'm still accused of bad behavior and weakness, fueled by being publicly diagnosed bipolar. Self hatred combined with fleeting moments of feeing free of the source of my craziness...  In, out, up, down, good, bad, ugly, beautiful, sad, happy, suicidal, angelic, ...what else would you call it?  A rotten cycle that has eaten my life from the core and all the edges inward. If this helps you to understand me, great. This is not feeling sorry for myself. This is being detached from life by my own personal distrust, fueled by distrust and impatience from those I've clung to, to get back. It just screams to let go, leave, fuck them all, You included. I see everything as a trap, because everything I've tried seems to backfire. Greed, jealousy, indifference, self-absorption ... Nothing I do is good enough to keep my place at the table. I'm getting damnedgood at cleaning up and doing dishes.  Next come Depends.  Blah, blah, blah. Next....

What You Need To Know About Vaccinations And Medication Before Traveling Abroad

Before traveling abroad, many people have questions about how to protect themselves from foreign bacterial or viral illnesses. The threat of infection can be scary for travelers, but supplied with all the right information, they can vastly improve their odds at staying safe.

The first step a traveler should take is to consult his or her primary care doctor or a travel medicine specialist to find out what area-specific vaccines and/or medications are appropriate, because many destinations require very specific preparations. Visit the Centers for Disease Control's Travel page, which breaks the information down by country and provides up-to-date health notices.

HuffPost Travel turned to Dr. Pritish Tosh, an infectious diseases physician at the Mayo Clinic and Dr. Gary W. Brunette, chief of the Travelers' Health Branch of the CDC, to answer our most burning questions about immunization before travel.

What are the most common vaccinations given to people before traveling abroad?

"When people come to a travel clinic, one of the most important things to do is review their immunization history and make sure they have gotten all of their age-appropriate routine immunizations," Tosh says via email. These include an adult booster for tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, shingles, and measles, mumps and rubella. He also encourages an annual influenza vaccination. In addition, "ensuring that travelers are protected against hepatitis A and typhoid is important for travel to most developing nations," he says.

"Hep A and hep B are now both part of the routine childhood vaccines, but they've only been that for a few years, so people in their teens and up normally don't have it," Brunette adds in a phone interview. "We recommend it for people who haven't had it."

What are some of the most area-specific, unusual vaccinations you've recommended?

"Some countries have a requirement for the Yellow fever vaccine -– typically in India, some countries in South America, and Africa," Brunette says. "Japanese encephalitis is prevalent in Southeast Asia, and I recommend it for people who are in a rural area for an extended period of time." Both diseases are mosquito-borne.

"People traveling to the Indian subcontinent need to have an adult booster for polio," Tosh adds. "And depending on the type of travel and activities someone may be doing, hepatitis B or rabies vaccinations may be considered."

The CDC includes a special mention of the Hajj Pilgrimage on its site: "Because of the intensely crowded conditions of the Hajj and high carrier rates of Neisseria meningitidis among pilgrims, outbreaks of meningococcal disease have historically been a problem during Hajj. In the aftermath of outbreaks in 2000 and 2001 that affected 1,300 and 1,109 people, respectively, the Saudi Ministry of Health began requiring all pilgrims and local at-risk populations to receive the meningococcal vaccine -- Hajj visas cannot be issued without proof of vaccination."

How far in advance should people get vaccinated before traveling?

Tosh recommends seeking advice from a travel clinic at least a month prior to travel to ensure that vaccinations and other medications -- like malaria pills -- have enough time to be effective.

Brunette advises people to see their doctors as soon as they make plans to travel, "around the time you buy your tickets -- six to eight weeks before you travel, because some medications need to be started early and some vaccines are a series of vaccines." Tetanus, Hepatitis A, typhoid, yellow fever, polio and the meningococcal vaccine are all single-dose vaccines, but Hepatitis B, Japanese encephalitis, and rabies vaccines require multiple doses, according to the CDC's Last Minute-Travelers page, which has more specific information on these vaccines.

If you depart in less than four weeks, "you should still see your doctor or travel clinic," the CDC's website states. "You might still benefit from shots or medications," and your doctor will advise you of the risk involved in taking the trip.

What medications do you recommend people take with them while traveling abroad?

Tosh advises people take "sufficient supplies of their routine medications" in their carry-on luggage. In addition, "for travel to many developing countries, having loperamide [Imodium, to treat diarrhea] as well as plenty of sunscreen and mosquito repellant is necessary," he says. Mosquitoes tend to be most active at dawn and dusk, so it's important to use repellent, cover up as much as you can (while still being comfortable), and use mosquito nets when necessary.

The CDC recommends bringing an antibiotic prescribed by your doctor -- like Cipro -- for self-treatment of moderate to severe diarrhea.

Certain destinations require additional medication. "Say you wanted to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro or go to Cuzco in Peru," Brunette adds. "You'd need to bring high-altitude medication like Diamox."

Some countries do not let visitors bring certain medicines into the country -- like narcotic-based pain medication -- so you may want to check with the U.S. embassy in the country you're visiting to make sure that your medication will be allowed in. A listing of embassies and consulates is available on the Department of State's website.

What is your most important advice in terms of caution when eating and drinking abroad?

"Making sure people eat and drink safe food and water is of paramount importance," Tosh says. "The most common cause of illness after travel is Traveler's Diarrhea, which is preventable by eating foods that are either served steaming hot or things that you can peel open yourself." And even if the food on a street cart meets all of this criteria, it's better to avoid it, he adds.

Tosh emphasizes that travelers should ensure the water they consume is either boiled or bottled. If it's bottled, it's much better to drink carbonated water than still water because sometimes people refill water bottles, he says. If the cap hisses, then you know it was bottled at a bottling plant.

"People can also become unknowingly exposed to local waters through consumption of things like ice cubes or salads that have been washed in tap water," he adds. Bottom line: absolutely no raw fruits or vegetables.

What are risk factors people usually don't think about before traveling abroad?

"I think it is general safety," Tosh says. "Often people will travel to unfamiliar places with unfamiliar customs where they do not speak the language." He suggests consulting the State Department for an up-to-date country-specific list of recommendations for travelers.

Brunette emphasizes road safety and water safety to all travelers: "The biggest killer of Americans overseas isn't disease -- it's road accidents and then following that is accidental drowning. For example, you put yourself at risk if you're in Thailand and you rent a motorbike and don't put on a helmet, or you get in a taxi and don't put on your seatbelt. Be extra cautious -- a lot of people shouldn't be traveling at night. If you get into a motor vehicle accident in some countries, they don't have ambulance services like in the U.S."

Any more advice?

Tosh warns expatriates not to get too comfortable when visiting their native countries, and says they shouldn't drink local water or eat potentially unsafe foods. "The immunity they had through exposure while they lived in their home country wanes shortly after leaving the country," he says. Expatriates are just as susceptible to infection as anyone else traveling there, he adds, but are usually much less careful because they don't feel like they need to be.

Your Life in a Backpack: What to Pack For 6 Months Traveling Abroad | Norm Schriever

Your Life in a Backpack: What to Pack For 6 Months Traveling Abroad

Think back to your last vacation. I bet your suitcases were so stuffed you had to sit on them just to get the zipper closed, and that was just for one week! Now imagine if you had to pack absolutely everything you needed for six months on the road, or even a year, and it all had to fit into one big backpack! That's the challenge I face every time I head overseas for a live-in excursion to places like Costa Rica, Nicaragua, or even on a walkabout around the world for a year. Hell no, I'm not complaining -- I get live in the tropics like a beach bum and write my heart out, but packing every single possession I'll need in a bag no bigger than a laundry sack becomes a Divinci-esque feat of science.

In a few weeks I'll be at the airport once again, this time with a one-way ticket to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand for an undetermined amount of time, where I'll write, volunteer, and attempt to surf as I go. So after painstaking consideration, this is what I packed:

The North Face Base Camp duffel bag/backpack.
It's hard to find a backpack big enough to accommodate everything you need for a prolonged stay. Most mountaineering and hiking bags are only in the 3,500-4,500 cubic inch range, but the North Face makes an oversized duffel bag/backpack that holds about 8,000 cubic inches. It's super durable and very roomy, with padded shoulder straps so I can throw it on like a backpack when needed. I haul it around bus stations and airports a lot more than actual wilderness excursions, so that works great.

Day pack.
I bring a regular-sized backpack to carry my laptop around, head to the beach, or take plenty of day trips. I use this smaller pack all day, every day so for this trip I chose a O'Neill Suburbia backpack because it has a laptop compartment, water bottle holder, and comfortable shoulder straps.

Clothing:

1 Pair lightweight jeans.

Flip flops.
I bring one good pair and one pair that can get wet for the beach. Reef makes some cool new flip flops that have a compartment in the sole so you can hide money or your room key. Genius!

1 Pair slip-on shoes:
Something light, breathable, and easy to slip on is fantastic in hot, beachy climates. I like my classic Vans, and Crocs makes some cool new waterproof shoes in funky designs that are much cleaner and safer because of their plastic soles.

Running sneakers.
A pair of running sneaks for working out, hiking, or if I have a big day sight seeing.

7 Tank tops.
When I first started traveling I brought too many t-shirts, but soon realized I wanted something as light and airy as possible in tropical climates, so now I load up on tank tops.

7 T-shirts.
I try to find the ones that aren't pure cotton, which is heavier and doesn't breathe when you sweat. One by one I cut the sleeves off my t-shirts, anyway!

3 Collared shirts.
I fit in a few short sleeve button-up shirt for those nights on the town or nicer dinners.

3 O'Neill Hybrid shorts/swim suits.
I used to pack several swim shorts and also bring a few pairs of normal cotton shorts, but Hybrid shorts changed that. They're made of comfortable, breathable quick-drying material that can get wet, but look like nice dress shorts. They're the best invention for travelers because you only have to pack half as much but can throw them on no matter if you're going to work out, sweat, jump in the ocean, or just walk around town. I love the ones by O'Neill, which fit great and come in plenty of cool patterns.

4 Athletic shorts.

1 Baseball hat.
(Philadelphia Phillies, of course!)

1 Fisherman hat.
I look goofy as Gilligan in it, but a big hat is your best friend on the beach at midday or in direct sun, where it's easy to get heat stroke.

Socks and underwear.
(Not that I'm going to wear either of them.)

Sunglasses.
I wear sunglasses most of the day when I'm outdoors, but I always seem to break or lose them, so I get a decent pair only in the $25 range. The good news is you can buy cheap sunglasses anywhere you go on the beach. I also bring a little cord to keep them on my head in case I'm kayaking or zip lining or doing something where they might fly off.

1 Comfy hooded sweatshirt.
A warm hoodie is essential for cold airplane rides, early morning trips on the water, or some nights as your only pillow and blanket!

Lycra long sleeve shirt.

Technology:

MacBook laptop.
I live on my MacBook as I travel, using it to write, work, stay in touch with family and friends, and even watch TV and movies. I wish I had a MacBook Air, which is super lightweight, but mine works fine for now. I put a cheap plastic cover on it to protect it from moisture and scratches, and throw up cool stickers of places I've been and brands I love, badges of identity to other travelers.

Kindle.
I love the feel of a real book, but while on the road it's almost impossible to buy books and I definitely don't want to carry them around, so any eBook reader is convenient.

Travel adapter.
I bought one for $20 that lets me plug in my electronics in almost any country, and also acts as a surge protector for those frequent power outages.

GoPro Hero 3 Black camera.
I recently converted from my jenky digital camera to a super fun Go Pro. It's smaller than a deck of cards, has huge storage capacity and battery life, and fits into a shockproof case so I can take it over rough terrain or underwater. I can strap it to a surfboard, bicycle handlebars, or on a headgear clip while I'm getting my ass kicked in the boxing gym. I have a wifi remote so I can document the wonderment of traveling abroad in movie quality without holding a camera up to my eyes all the time, and I plan to expand my travel bog to a more-entertaining video blog.

iPhone.
Whenever I hit the road I suspend my US cell service for $10 a month, forwarding my number to Skype or GoogleVoice, but I still use my iPhone as a mini computer via local wifi, accessing apps that allow me to make calls, use GPS, a compass, translate languages on the fly, and serve as a killer flashlight.

Flash drives.
I'm paranoid about getting my laptop ruined or stolen and losing all of my data, so I back up daily on high-memory flash drives and hide them someplace safe.

GoalZero portable solar charger.
GoalZero, one of my new favorite companies, makes the Nomad 7, a portable solar charger that's no bigger than a notebook. It unfolds into two panels that catch the sun and recharge my phone, GPS, camera, or MP3 player with a simple USB hookup. A separate recharger battery the size of a tube of toothpaste, the Switch 8, can be thrown into my backpack and gives my devices plenty of juice in case of an emergency or if I'm stuck out in the jungle. When that happens, and it will happen, a quick solar charge can literally be a life saver.

GoalZero portable speaker.
I listen to music 24/7 and the speakers on my laptop don't cut it. But most mini speakers sounded like trash until I finally found a good one that is affordable and durable, with 20 hours of battery life, the RockOut 2 speaker by GoalZero. They come with a built in durable case and you can power them via your laptop, charge their internal battery, or even go solar.

2 Headphones.
One pair of earbuds and one over-the-head pair for jogging.

I bring a Tupperwear container to store my electronic accessories and twist ties to organize their cords and cables.

Work out:
I get back to basics on the road: pushups, burpees, etc., but I do bring a jump rope and a stretchy fitness band, which take up almost no room but are versatile for any-time workouts. Gymnastic rings also are easy to hook up anywhere for strength and balance conditioning.

I have an incredible trainer, Trevor Gibbs at Health Behaviors, who sets my workout plan virtually based on my natural elements, no matter where I am in the world!

Swim goggles.

Brita filtered water bottle.
I hate plastic water bottles, and you should too!

Small gym towels.
I carry a little towel around with me everywhere I go to wipe the sweat away, dash through a rain storm, or even dry off after a dip in the ocean. These are great because it's always super hot in the tropics and I sweat like... well, like a gringo in the tropics. I used to "borrow them permanently" from hotels, but I've since reformed and now I buy a pack.

Security:

Combo lock.
Once I settle down and get an apartment overseas I bolt a solid combo lock onto a railing or post near my front door and put my house key in it. That way I never have to carry around my key (a pain if you're living near the beach) but I can get in any time.

I should use a laptop cable lock, but I prefer just to hide it in a ceiling panel or the bottom of the garbage can when I leave my hotel or apartment.

Likewise, instead of fancy false-bottom containers and security devices, I just hide my important stuff -- passport, credit cards, flash drive, etc. in the bottom of a cereal box or hollowed-out can of peanuts.

Instead of wearing those dorky tourist money belts I just put money in the sole of my shoe.

Copies of travel papers.
I make copies of my passport, drivers license, and medical immunization card and keep them in a safe place. I also email photos of those to myself, along with credit card and bank information.

Toiletries and Medical:

Sanitizing toothbrush case.
Sanitation is always a question mark in third-world hotel bathrooms and hot, humid climates, a breeding ground for bacteria, so I bring the million germ eliminating travel toothbrush sanitizer by Violight. The case sanitizes 99 percent of germs and the battery lasts 2,000 hours! I found it in Hammacher & Schlemmer's catalog on the airplane.

I carry around a Z Pack of antibiotics in case of severe stomach sickness, and a course of anti-malarial meds if I'm going deep into the jungle.

A few packs of Emergen-C's come with me to so I don't get sick with all that nasty fake air on the plane or when I'm fighting off exotic germs in my new locale.

I bring travel size toiletries on the plane to last a few days, but deodorant, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, etc. I buy when I get there.

Other:

5 Copies of my own books.
Even though they are heavy, I schlep a few copies of the books I've written. Not only is it cool to lend them to fellow travelers, but I've traded copies for meals or even a night's stay in a hostel in a pinch!

Compression bags.
I found a cheap set that I stuffed my clothes into then rolled the air out of vents on the other side and sealed shut. These bags reduce the volume of my clothes by 30 percent and keep everything dry.

Dryer sheets.
Stuffed into my bag keep everything smelling fresh.

Twine.
It's easy to set up a drying line anywhere I go.

Deck of cards.

Small notebook.
That I can fit in my back pocket and write whenever inspiration hits. Some times you have to go old school!

Canadian flag patch.
I sew that onto my backpack so foreigners don't assume I'm from the U.S. and target me for political admonishment, theft... or worse.

Neck pillow:
For long flights (it's 18 hours to Vietnam from California) a neck pillow is essential, though I usually give it away once I get there so I don't have to carry it around.

Hair clippers:
A haircut might only cost $2, but finding a barber shop in every little beach town and rural hamlet is problematic. I keep my hair shaved short so I just bring my own cheap clippers.

Honey Eaters Beware! | John Douillard's LifeSpa

http://lifespa.com/honey-eaters-beware/?inf_contact_key=86847093c25a4c2bdf2b4d2a9397e65f4adf080ae81c4daf163a534f2599a9d3#.UgDiIsu9KSM

Honey Eaters Beware!

According to a recent report from the Food Safety News group, more than three-fourths of the honey sold in U.S. grocery stores isn't honey.

Here's the deal: standard processing of honey involves removing the pollen, meaning that most commercial sources have had all of the pollen removed.

In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration states that any product that's been ultra-filtered and no longer contains pollen isn't honey.

Ultra-filtering is a process whereby the honey is heated, watered down and then forced through a very small filter under high pressure to remove the pollen. Who knows what happens to the good microbes in honey during this process.

Food Safety News purchased more than 60 jars, jugs and plastic bears of honey in 10 states and the District of Columbia and tested them for pollen.

They found that:

• 76% of the samples bought at big-name groceries had all the pollen removed. These were stores like TOP Food & Drug, Safeway, Giant Eagle, QFC, Kroger, Metro Market, Harris Teeter, A&P, Stop & Shop and King Soopers.
• 100% of the samples from drugstores like Walgreens, Rite-Aid and CVS Pharmacy had no pollen.
• 77% of the samples from big box stores like Costco, Sam's Club, Walmart, Target and H-E-B had the pollen filtered out.
• 100% of the samples from small individual service portions from Smucker's, McDonald's and KFC had the pollen removed.

Ayurvedic Honey

Ayurveda suggests to eat only raw, unfiltered, uncooked honey. It is said that if honey is raw it can scrub impurities from the body. Once it is heated, it changes its properties and becomes an indigestible, toxic substance Ayurveda calls ama.

Beekeepers routinely spray diluted raw honey on the hive to calm the bees before managing the hive. Interestingly, in one report, when bee keepers sprayed cooked and filtered honey on the hive within 20 minutes a significant number of the bees sprayed were dead. While this was not a scientific study, it does allude to the drastic alteration that occurs in the processing of honey and concurrent removing of pollen.
