Most of you know me from my various posts in this form and the ASPD form. It was nearly a year ago that I began to explore this side of my personality and was semi-diagnosed with this disorder by an online doctor. I am very proud to say that I was officially diagnosed with this and two other personality disorders after a long period of waiting. It feels so good to have my suspicions confirmed and to be told that (once again) I was right! It feels like I finally got the closure I needed. I just wanted to share the news with you guys!

That must feel like a relief for you.

I've been all over the map personality disorder diagnosis wise. I don't care what they call it, I'm just me. I don't think it's healthy to get so attached to any label, mental health wise or otherwise.

It's refreshing to see you have admitted to having Narcissistic tendencies. My T told me I have those tendencies too. He is trying so hard to get me to be nice to people but it's just not my nature. I don't know if T will help.

When I first found out I was really bothered as how can someone who is so great have a "disorder". I applaud you for you happiness in finding a diagnosis. As a person who does have NPD it comes and goes. Most of the time I feel perfectly normal and then there are those cases where I realize how out of touch I am with others and the accepted ways of being. When the latter happens it does bother me to know how I am not normal(fades quickly though). I guess that's what makes us all so unique in how we take in the information given. I am broken but luckily I have a disorder that makes me on top most of the time. I guess in a way I lucked out with having what I have as it could of been much more crippling for my daily routines if I wasn't so high on myself. Again congrats on finding something that makes you feel good!! Except I know what you mean with because you already knew. The happiness is more because your beliefs were confirmed (making you right) rather than actually what it is. At least the way I understood it.

The bolded part is interesting to me. When I was misdiagnosed with NPD I wasn't bothered by it at all, I remember telling my psychiatrist, "Yes, I am narcissistic. Thank you for noticing!" I found it amusing. That's another area where NPD and ASPD differ quite a bit. Grandiose though I am, I am not bothered when I am referred to as narcissistic, it just makes me smile.

Thank you as usual for sharing your thoughts Underground, it's good to see you around again!
