Anyone here have NPD?

[Nathank]

Ive been diagnosed within cluster b and am coming to terms with my NPD. My past and how i feel is perfectly explain by Narcissistic Personality disorder. I dont want this and dont want to be that man, but all im told is theres no hope.

Any success stories?


Thank you

Who told you there is no hope?

I cant find any literature on people healing and living a good solid life. I dont want to lose my family. I dont want to be a bad man anymore

Most people with NPD dont believe they need to change or that the fault is ever with them, and so they dont seek out help or even try to change.

The fact you want to change is proof that there is hope. As long as you put effort in, then I dont see why you're attempts at bettering yourself would fail. It might be hard and challenging, but I believe it's possible.

Thank you. Im battling with my new characteristics of being a good, less manipulative, faithful man who doesnt lie with the inability to make my own self esteem and constantly seeking reassurance. I question if ive ever felt love or caring or was just looking for a source of supply. Every word, every action I question. I wont allow myself to be one of those terrible narcissists you hear about. Even though i was i wont go back.
