Was she a Histrionic? I'm broken

Hello all, this is my first post. I'm Italian so my English is not perfect.

I'll try to be as concise as I can describing my 6 months long relationship with what I highly suspect being a person with HPD (she is not diagnosed). I would love to hear your opinions on this situation, if it's similar to something you already experienced.

I broke up with her recently and I'm feeling exhausted, this post also ...

Twin sister help

We'll call her Dawn. She's in her mid 50's.

Dawn is my wife's twin sister.
She was the second one born.
They have a younger brother.
So the siblings referred to Dawn as the middle child throughout their younger years.
Dawn says my wife was their dad's favorite and the younger brother was mom's favorite and that she has no one.
They went to counseling as a family when they were in HS "for Dawn". ...

Is this a delusion?

I have a sister who is going through a rough patch right now. She claims she was indoctrinated to hate herself since she was little through a "twinning"-like process. She believes teachers purposely sat girls next to her that looked almost identical to her, but only they were pretty and she was not. Everyone would say they were like twins and she said a teacher held up a picture of the other girl on picture ...

My Boyfriend Is A Narcissist

Hello, I just signed up. I live with several mental health diagnoses and a few physical ones. I also have a boyfriend who moved into my apartment and won't leave. Two years now. And I know he's a narcissist, he's proud of his manipulations. I have to get out from under him. I've not been in a relationship with someone like this before.

Feel like I've lost my sister

So my sister is in her early 30s and up until a few months ago had never dated or had a boyfriend. She has one now, and I feel like I've been replaced.

She recently told me ...

Trying to understand bipolar disorder

My mother was diagnosed with bipolar disorder a month and a half ago. I learned that three years ago she was diagnosed with depression and that (according to her) she started taking an anti-depressant 8 or 9 months ago. I noticed something was going on but I couldn't put a finger on it. She seemed normal enough, but not quite. Well she committed some heinous crimes and as a result went to the doctors and ...
