Looks like they are really out to get me at work. My boss came in at about 1pm and told me I was being suspended for 30 days while they investigate further misconduct charged against me. I'm still facing discipline for allegedly threatening my no-good assistant with a bowl of pasta. This is some additional charge.

I hate that job so much. My lawyer says I can't quit whike under investigation. Especially with no other ...

How many kids do you have, or are you currently carrying, trying to conceive or are kids not in your cards?

I was discussing with my therapist yesterday whether I could be narcisstic. It's an interesting idea. We agreed that I definitely had narcissistic tendencies, but he also said I had some factors that argue against a full diagnosis of NPD. Today I'm seeking out places like this where I can hopefully find out more. So, hello. I just registered.

I have enough of the DSM traits to qualify, (in particular I have 2,3,4,5,6,8, and 9 ...

I'm new here, so hi.

I started cutting when I was about 11, before that I thought it was incredibly strange and disgusting. I quit for 3 years, started again. Quit again, started again. Quit again, went 3 months, and now I'm here with about 30 new scars on me, even though they're only really shallow I'm already addicted again. But that's not what I'm worried about to be honest. I'm really worried about my ...

I was told I do have a personality disorder with impulsivity at the core, I wasn't told which one.

So I'm guessing I either have Borderline or Antisocial personality disorder (impulsiveness fits highly in both these pd's). To be honest I couldn't say which one because I seem to fit both at different stages of my life.

Our 6 y.o. son was diagnosed with Asperger's nearly 1 year ago, but my husband has diagnosed Tourette's and I have (undiagnosed) obsessive compulsive disorder. He speaks in the Asperger's "sing-song" voice but also makes other noises, eg. laughing, getting stuck on (repeating, not stuttering) words, making throat noises. I remember doing similar things as a child but the Asperger's symptoms don't mention these. There have been a few minor incidents at school regarding indecent ...

it was only eight days back that i learnt that there was something called avoidant personality disorder.and like many other people,i was surprised,and happy too,to make this discovery.happy because finally,i had found a name for my previously incomprehensible and seemingly unconnected strange behaviour.and it was wonderful to find this forum,read what people said,and write my thoughts & feelings.and most importantly,i was happy to have found people with whom i could relate to,and who could relate ...

If there is anyone like me who feels so bored that he wants to kill him self please write me.

Hey everyone

Wondered if you could help me with a few question I have about the idea of the ‘true self’? I’ve been reading Alice Miller’s book and this has raised a few things about how this self might emerge or ‘appear’ on occasion and how we might recognise it?

What I would like to know is does an N feel this ‘true self’ emerge, from time to time? Do they recognise this as ‘panic’ ...

Hi, new to this forum and reading all these posts has been very educational! I'm in an interesting situation and thought I'd share with you all and keep this updated as it evolves.

I'm a 20 y.o. male college student, working part-time, and while I am not majoring in psychology, I have been studying personality disorders on my own out of personal interest and curiosity. So while studying about HPD, I immediately was able to ...
