Where do I begin? It's so difficult and almost incredible to believe. Am I the narcissist? I often wonder.... or am I going crazy?

Things between my mom and I went well u till I was about 12. Then I started to formulate my own thoughts and ideas. That was the moment all my moms anger and rage turned towards me. Before that, it was spread out over my father, brother, sister and uncle who ...

I turn 20 in July, but somehow their excuse that 20 is a small number???? Are you ######6 kidding me right now? And the funniest thing is that they ACTUALLY let me attend my high school's centenary party, where there was a greater risk of being sexually assaulted, but I can't attend a party in a goddamn cottage??? I still live with my parents, have no driver's license, and I've never had a job. ...

Hi, a friend of mine is wondering has anyone heard of a having a secret crush for years?

We met during a challenging phase for him; he recently broke up with his girlfriend and due to his abandonment issues, it hit him hard. But he opened up to me really quickly (which he normally never does) about all the dark phases in his life, and we shared our experiences with mental health struggles (I had OCD and am experienced with depression myself). It turned out, he has always had underlying depression and unresolved ...

Hope I'm in the right place on this forum. We have a son who is 37 and I'm positive has BPD. It has gotten so much worse lately. We moved to a small town in 2018, 2 of our kids bought affordable homes here in 2016, our now 31 yr old son and our now 34 yr old daughter with her partner.

Long summary, I 30M, went out briefly with 29F who has BPD and other mental health issues. After a month she said we moved too fast and she not comfortable with it, and we should stay friends and I should move on. Since then she would sporadically text me to see how I’m doing, unless it’s the days we work together. On those days she would seek me out and text me more and hold ...

I'm presently engaged to a woman who has been dealing with severe psychosis but it's getting to the point where it's definitely holding us back. It's difficult to move forward in life when your spouse experiences psychosis and living in a world plagued by hearing voices and really bizarre delusions. I am desperate at this point for some advice on how I can help her to come to terms with the psychosis and to finally ...

Hello everyone, thanks in advance for taking the time to look over this post. I have been with my wife now for 15 years. I have noticed some of the traits of HPD in her for many years, but never even heard of it until I started doing online research. She exhibits signs of most of the personality traits, but I am not sure if she does the others. I will try to go through ...

I read about narcissism, and never really before made the connection to my mom. I have thought she might be borderline, or maybe just ADHD, but never really a narcissist until some pointers felt like they rang extremely true on her. But there's also many of the most classical signs about narcissism that I don't think she entirely fits.

So to explain my mom. First of all, she never had a good relationship with her ...
