News of Significant Others, Family & Friends Forum

'ello,

My ex has not been officially diagnosed, because he doesn't think any therapist can help him (he already knows all their tactics, he's read the whole DSM, etc). During my research as I was trying to figure out my own problems (my therapist agrees I have BPD traits), it seemed likely that NPD was his issue- not that I was the first person to ever suggest it. Ex naturally denies having any narcissistic qualities. ...

I Dont know what to do or where to turn. I need help.
I can't tolerate my husbands crazy behavior every time he hasn't smoked weed.
Where do people get help for this? Is there something to replace until the addiction is gone?
I want to leave my situation so badly but haven't much money too so I'm stuck.
He's so mean and violent all the time.
Help me please....any advice.

I have been reading many posts on here over the last few weeks and really hope I can get some insight from anyone willing to help so thus my reason for posting for the first time. I will do the best to give you the background.

Me, over 40, self employed professional. Never married and have had different relationships of varying degrees over the years. Just was not able to find the right chemistry. I ...

POSSIBLE TRIGGERS FOR HPD'S; MOVED TO SOF&F FORUM

I've been a member of this forum for some years now. When I first joined, it was a refuge for well intentioned people (non-HPD's) who were affected by HPD's and were searching for answers as to what hit them and reclaim their lives. Since the forum changed its format to favor discussions primarily among afflicted HPD's, I find it to be less relevant for me and I'm ...

So like so many threads that lay to ashes in this forum about HPD. I found my way here. What I realize from my months research is that love, empathy, logic/rational and HPD doesn't agree. Its all about self-gratification and playing an emotional chess game every so often.

So in summary, my GF like so many, show all signs of HPD. Yes, its incorrect to make a diagnoses without the proper professionals' overview, but they ...

1. Has problems with all the family members who are close by (geographically).
2. If not with mom, then dad, or husband, or brother or sister.
3. With mom – it’s that mom is partial towards brother. Mom does not help me out. Mom did not raise me well.
4. With Dad – It’s that he is not a good father. Dad did not give them enough attention during childhood. Most of the time, it’s ...

POSSIBLE TRIGGERS FOR THOSE WITH HPD OR OTHER DISORDERS/CONDITIONS. Because this thread seems to have a definite relationship dimension, moving it to the SOF&F Forum, with a shadow thread left in HPD.

Hi all, how did I end up here, simple, I have been drawn into a pseudo relationship by a girl at work whom left me just scratching my head. Let me expand.

She's young, attractive, feverishly flirtatious, the office live wire. Which is ...

I posted this thread in NPD forum before I realised there was a Significant Others forum. I didnt get much response in the NPD forum (just 2 people commented). I am hoping for more comments here.

I'm in my 50s and it has taken me nearly all my adult life to realise that my father suffers from NPD. I have studied psychology/psychiatry in the past 5 years or so and it was then things began ...

I have consulted a couple of Drs. on my own to describe my friend of 8 yrs illnesses and life history and each has suggested Munchausen syndrome. I feel very sorry for this person as I know she tells these whoppers (which include life stories and medical problems) to make herself feel loved but I feel so betrayed and lied to - used and manipulated. I see from my perusal of this site that many ...

I was involved with a narcissist and he devalued and discarded me after 3 months. Continued to see me tho for 2 months before he found a new supply. I haven't seen him in a month, and he's blocked my number almost 3 weeks ago due to my non stop harassment and wanting to fix things (I was messing up his new supply). However in those 3 weeks of blocking he's called last week and ...
