The western world feels like a narcissistic family system I can't estrange

Like how do you guys deal with that? The politicians I see in media have the same psychopath-eyes like my father. I'm autistic and haven't been able to work since covid and our country's (not US) chancellor is scapegoating the sick and poor, waging a culture war, triangulation, while having the only function of extracting money from society into the hands of billionaires. And I bet that is his narcissistic supply.

Does anyone else see this? It's the same techniques, the same disordered narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths dictating everyone's life, just like in our fucked up families. Doesn't this like trigger anyone else into oblivion?

Don't wanna start a political debate, just wanna know how to cope

Has anyone else a damaged neck?

3 years ago I started neurofeedback and TRE (trauma release exercises) and it has brought me out of chronic depersonalisation/dissociation I didn't even know I was in.

Even though I feel much better now, a lot of health problems surfaced, like I needed glasses long overdue, support for my feet, noticed I was a bit hypermobile and my joints hurt so I needed physical therapy, neuropathy, severe carpal tunnel on both hands and the worst thing: 2 herniated discs, damaged facet joints and spinal stenosis in my cervical spine/neck. I had no clue.

I'm only 38 and the doc said I have problems like a 65 year old. My whole life I thought I was in good health physically and now I clearly see how this came to be and how I had much pain and health problems as a child and teenager but learned to dissociate from it since it only lead to scolding and screaming from my parents.

It's so weird finally having some kind of peace in my brain but a body that is aching all over the place. I'm in recovery and hopeful for the future but man I wish I had been able to take care of myself 20 years ago. 2 surgeries on my hands, 7 minimal invasive procedures on my spine - only in the last 6 months.

I also started doing regular Alpha-Theta Neurofeedback for PTSD, 4 sessions in, and been having like a 80% pain reduction in my neck and shoulders for a few hours after. Helps more than the pain meds, pretty weird.

I was wondering, is anyone else struggling with similar physical problems since they started healing?
