Hi. Nine months pregnant here and have had to tell my mom I need alone time because when she's around, she's a hyper, anxious and rude mess. Continuously talking about superficial things. So she talks blabber basically and my husband and I don't get into it with her since she doesn't listen or let us get a word in anyway. So now I haven't heard from her in several days - and she acts manic, will text and disappear then the next day blowing up our phones asking if we are ok and and be overly concerned. Now it's definitely awkward but I really need to focus on my family and baby - can't keep up with her and her unstable behavior. Thoughts?

Let me see... If she ACTS manic, perhaps she is? And it's not narcissism? NPD has no effect on energy level or anxiety.
