I’ve been divorced now for a year and a half. Prior to my divorce I was in a years long cycle of depression that cycled between moderate to severe enough I was having suicidal thoughts and even developed a plan to carry it out. Only thing that stopped me was the thought of leaving my now ex wife as the sole caregiver of my kids. Not for her sake but for theirs I couldn’t bear the thought of that. I’ve been reading recently about narcissistic personality disorder and feel very strongly contd

If she's a narcissist I hope the kids are doing ok! I think its amazing how you're in a position to be able to have that medication discussion with your doctor. kudos to you!!

This disorder describes my ex wife. Anyone have experience with this? I was previously diagnosed Bipolar Type ii but since my divorce I’ve been almost symptom free to the point my psychiatrist has weaned my medication and we’re talking about going off meds completely. Curious if anyone else has lived with or survived someone with narcissistic personality disorder.

Update I had a manic relapse and am back on all meds. Triggered by custody and alimony issues. Feeling better now but it’s been a rough few weeks.

rooting for your health and happiness!

Making an offer. The sellers said they had 30+ people walk through the open house today, and are asking for best and final. They’ll make a decision on Monday. The list price is 775k. We were originally thinking of offering 700 to start since comps are around 735k. However, this is nicer than the comps renovation-wise. What would you all suggest we offer? We’d rather lose the house than overpay, so this concerns us.

My parent is sick with dementia. I can tolerate high level of stress when I'm called names, sent to h... etc.. but I keep everything inside. It's been that way for a long while now. Today my cup of tolerance has overflown when I was giving my parent a bath. I was so angry that I was shaken and I forced my parent to bath... I yelled and said things I would never say otherwise. I know I'm wrong and it's a disease, but I just couldn't help it... now.. the work time comes... I couldn't concentrate... tears just flowing from my eyes. Which I totally deserve. I'm glad I was working from home today. It got to the point that I just don't want to see that anymore... I just don't want to wake up. I just want to escape of my thoughts and my feelings...
