Narcissistic Personality Disorder

I’m on disability and have been for 10 years. I live in a community area that is specifically targeted for seniors and those on disability who are low income. My neighbor of 3 years is bipolar and narcissistic. She has told me this herself. I have major depressive disorder, CPTSD, Anxiety, Hypersensitivity, Skin Picking Disorder, Insomnia, Agoraphobia, Self Hate, and OCD. I have 2 family members with her same diagnosis. Two of my counselors and my psychiatrist finally got me to cut the two family members out of my life for my mental health safety. It was the best thing I did for myself as they wouldn’t respect my boundaries once I started to put them in place. Unfortunately I’m not able to do that with my neighbor. I can’t even have a private conversation in my own home without her ease dropping on it. I caught her getting close to my windows as I saw her feet. I said “OMG she’s at my window as I can see her feet. I can’t even have a private conversation in my own home!” I was having a telahealth meeting with my previous counselor. He tried to get me to talk to our property manager about it back at that time. I finally did speak with our new property manager about it last week from the urging of my new counselor. I looked into moving into another unit in my complex but I can’t afford to do it. My counselor suggested putting a radio in front of the window in the room I’m choosing to have a conversation. But how do I start to set boundaries with my neighbor. I rarely saw the two family members in person. They mostly did their damage through phone calls, texts, Facebook posts and messenger. So it was easier to take care of dealing with them. But this neighbor I have to see on a regular basis. Before things got tense between us I was the one who did all of the driving to any place we went. She never said thank you, offered a bit of gas money or said I’ll buy your lunch since you drove. I drove her to her colonoscopy appointment last year when gas was over $5 per gallon. I figured it up and it cost me $62 dollars round trip to do that. She didn’t pay me for any of it, breakfast or say thank you. Someone please help me figure out what I can do to protect myself from the manipulation, guilt trips and gaslighting that I receive from her. #bipo #NarcissisticPersonalityDisorder #majordeprissivedisorder #CPTSD #Gaslighting #Agoraphobia #SkinPickingDisorder #OCD

i am going through a breakup and i have noticed that i continuously long for my mothers love. i practically beg for it and she tells me "i am sorry you feel that way". i have always felt an emptiness inside and i am realizing that she is a key contributor. i feel so alone but in her presence, i feel even more alone but with an overwhelming sense of confusion, wondering what i can do to make her want to be motherly to me. what i can do to be good enough. she is very strange and favors boys over girls, she shows love and attention to my brothers and i feel like the ugly duckling. i tried to get her to understand my borderline personality disorder and she said, "okay, you keep complaining and explaining but what are you going to do to get over it?". i started crying and said its not curable and i am trying to get better. i go to therapy, take medication, self-reflect, and check my behaviors yet she does nothing but berate me for being "dramatic" and "too emotional". i hate her. i will forever hate her for being a big factor in developing my bpd. i am learning how to say no and stop trying to fit her daughter role as she does not fit her mother role to me. i live a life of emotional agony internally but learned to shut it away. growing up, i always told myself to wait until bedtime to cry in order to avoid her berating me. i am choosing to go low contact with her to start healing and try to get rid of my self hatred. she had a hard upbringing but as a result she made mine hard and that is inexcusable. i am working so hard on myself because when i start a family, i dont want to pass on the disorder to my children and i dont want to mistreat my husband. i want to be healthy and happy, able to accept love and give love healthily. something that doesnt seem possible right now.

Hi, my name is Cat Vonnegut (pen name). I'm here because I need a place to write about and often vent about health and mental health. I'm also working on a lot of projects including writing fictionally and may test some of the material here as much of the content is derived from my life struggles and the lives of close friends and family.

Today's thoughts: I don't want to think I'm a narcissist, but (and nothing good is followed by a but, is it?) I do find myself saying, "What about me?" a lot.

Am I neglected or just needy? How does one tell the difference between the two? Well, if you've come here for answers, I have good news, I don't have them. Why is that good news? You're not alone in being dumb and lost for answers. We're dumb together. They say misery loves company.... well, you're welcome. I came along for the misery ride before you even knew we were in the same bandwagon.

(P.S. My writing can be blunt and crass at times. I by no means mean myself or anyone else is dumb. TW: I write some shock comedy and satire, etc.)

Part 1 of 2 We all have mental health problems, some of which pose a danger to us and require immediate treatment, and some of which we can get rid of by following healthy activities to get rid of them.

Mental health problems are considered more harmful than health problems that relate to the body only, while mental health problems affect your psyche and your body as well.

As for treatment, it is also more difficult than physical treatment because it is often not treated with medication. Mental health problems need experts in the field of mental health and psychology, and treatment takes place through many sessions and treatment methods differ according to the problem that he suffers from in his mental health. Because every mental health problem depends on certain behaviors to be treated by specialists.

Every person has a certain limit of a good psychological state, and each person has a certain limit of wisdom with which he can balance his own mental health, and of course the older you get, the more you can control your mental health, and the age most at risk of mental health problems are adolescents, they are in The parent is in a state of incomprehension, and on top of that, their health is at risk from any behavior, and the protection wall from their mental health problems is incomplete, which makes them vulnerable to danger, and thus the teenager is vulnerable to many problems such as social anxiety disorder, permanent tension, and also isolation more.

Causes of mental health problems

The causes are many, including a disorder in childhood or irregular mental strength in a person with mental health problems.

The conditions that a person is exposed to daily, from waking up to the end of the day. Small things may change a person’s personality, such as a morning greeting to your neighbor, an insult to your boss, or disagreements between you and your loved one. All of these things may cause a change in a person’s psychological state, and when health becomes Psychological unstable and exposed to mental health problems.

The accumulation of sadness, weakness, and disappointment can change a lot of people. Perhaps you have been betrayed in a relationship, so you are trying to take revenge on every person you are in a relationship with in the future.

You have been embarrassed in the midst of people in your community, and this has led to a reduction in your going to social gatherings, and after a while you no longer communicate with people, so you have social anxiety.

We cannot be sure who is the culprit here, man or life, because both of them were one reason for another in exposure to mental health problems, but the most important thing is if you see yourself suffering from a problem in your mental health, do not hesitate to contact the author and consult a psychologist.

The most important mental health problems

Mental health problems are those that affect your mental and physical health together. There is no main reason for mental health problems that can be genetic or intentional, such as exposure to a moment in your life that affected your mental health and made you suffer from it.

1 Depression and lack of desire:

Among the mental health problems, the most important of which is depression and the general desire to accomplish something. As we said, the important mental health problems have a deep impact on the self. Depression comes after your mental health has been exposed to danger and has received a painful blow.

Depression affects our relationship with people because it makes us lose the desire to communicate with someone and become more isolated with ourselves without trying to get out of depression.

2 Social anxiety and loneliness:

One of the mental health problems is our fear of confronting people in society and daily life.Social anxiety disorder affects the way we understand people in our lives, as we imagine that we will not be acceptable to them and that they will never be satisfied with us.

The anxiety resulting from our fear of society is what causes social anxiety disorder, which is considered a mental health problem. Unlike depression, social anxiety is not very deep, as it can be overcome by getting to know the people closest to your personality.

3 The arrogant, narcissistic personality:

Narcissistic personality disorder is also considered one of the mental health problems, the narcissistic personality is difficult to deal with and is considered a self-obsessed personality and has great self-confidence to the point of exaggeration.

Knowing the narcissistic personality in our lives is difficult and it takes a lot of time to discover that he is a narcissistic personality.
