Hi I also suffer from NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder).\n\nIt took me a very long time to get to know that something is wrong with me (and not e.g. with the others). I was constantly searching all over English and Czech speaking internet (I'm from the Czech Republic) and I was searching in all possible psychological and psychotherapeutic books.\n\nThe best I have found so far were books from James F. Masterson, a New York City researcher, psychiatrist and psychotherapist. I have visited him also personally on 60 Sutton Place South, Manhattan, NYC, but I hadn't enough money to afford therapy by him, his affiliates or his followers. He is head of www.mastersoninstitute.org\n\nLuckily he publishes his therapeutic approach and it was helpful for me even without a therapist. I'm still going back to his books and still finding something new (within me). You can have a look at the content of his books at www.amazon.com, search for James F Masterson in books section.\n\nMedication is of no use, except you develop a depression or some psychosis, it will help you get back into life (and into NPD again).\n\nHope this might help you.\n  Martin D

Tiffany I know it is difficult having to put up with that treatment every day.  Work on cultivating who you are inside and ignore them. It will not be easy but in the long run you will be better off for it. Believe in yourself and know that within yourself you are so much better than whatever "they" say.

Don't try to diagnose yourself, you need to see a psychiatric doctor to get some help.  They can diagnose you properly as well.

First, you need to have a diagnosis....best from your family doctor or a psychiatrist.   Then together you will decide what is best for you.  It may be medication, meditation, change of diet.  So many things influence our internal being, so there is really no pat answer.  If you are religious, talk to God and ask for His guidance.  Praying helps in many ways.  Exercise is also good for lifting a blue mood.  Hope things get better for you.

Get a complete physical evaluation and see a professional for alcohol abuse. There is no "ONE" answer to this. Different people need different treatment. Some need medication, some need other things. Some need both. Don't go by what works for someone else when you need to have yourself evaluated. Hang in there!

I think therapy might really help in your situation. If nothing else see if the local Catholic church can help.

My doctor has me on Cymbalta, Wellbutrin, Lamictal and Adderall. A lot of drugs, I know. I even have Xanax in case I really lose it. I don't think that medicine is the only answer. Consider speaking with a psychologist, who can help you get down to the root of your anxiety. I know that exercise and a better diet would improve my attitude, if I were ever to get motivated.  Also getting in touch with your spiritual side, such as going to a worship service or meditating, can help alleviate the stress that causes anxiety. I hope to someday chose the path outside of medicine. I wish you luck with dealing with this struggle, and also Happy Holidays!

I am a sufferer also. There are many treatments which you may find helpful. I have lots of resources that would require me to email the pages to you [they're obtained through college databases]. I'd be more than happy to email them to you if you're interested. [archnarkiegirl@yahoo.com]

Smiley,\n\nIf you can, get yourself into inpatient treatment.  If that's not possible:\n\nGet yourself into Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).\nGet another counselor, preferably one w/ a PhD.  \nGet yourself in to see a psychiatrist (if you don't have on already).\n\nPeace be w/ you.

You might. These are all symptoms. See your doctor, you may just have a fearful personality but you can get help for it. It could also be a phase you are going thru but you must get a professional opinion for your peace of mind.

My mother has bipolar disorder. I know what growing up with a depressive is like and I also know I have occuring syptoms of it. My best suggestion is to keep a diary or write poetry of current feelings... never look back. And get a pet or something to talk to, take care of and love. Try to be as independant as possible and continue taking your meds. Because it gets way worse when you don't. Independance, love, and ablity to write out your feelings help. Also I'd suggest talking to a good friend who might be able to help you make sense of yourself... my mother uses me as her thought sorter to help her understand better. Hospitals are the worst thing I believe you could go to... gives you no personal care.

Go see a qualified psychiatrist.  The web can get you started but you really need to be under one-to-one care.
