Recently diagnosed narc also suffering from depression

I'm a covert/introverted narcissist, and I also have crippling depression. Does anyone else have experience with this? Was therapy helpful for anything?

I don’t know anything about the connection between the two but did your DR suggest an anti depressant? That was the first thing my DR did

Honestly, the best thing that’s helped with my mood is eating right, quit drinking, and exercising. I haven’t started therapy yet so I can’t comment on that but I would imagine it would help.

Do you have NPD? If not, no worries. Yes, I was put on a new antidepressant because my last one wasn't helping as much as it used to. Hopefully it helps soon. I'm finding it difficult to quit drinking and to regulate my sleep schedule but I wonder if that actually does help a lot or if it's more of a placebo anyway... Regardless, I want to go to therapy for specific things like for my other illnesses and like my intense jealousy, but I don't really want to do empathy training or anything like that that may be suggested by a therapist due to my PD.

No, just trying to help with the depression

Just lose your false self and try to rebuild your true persona you have abandoned as a child.

You need to be at peace with who you are, otherwise you will suffer forever and for nothing.


Dont do that to yourself please.
