What To Expect When You Marry a Narcissist
If you’re planning to date a narcissist, these are the things you can expect in your relationship. Notice that because they are incapable of having a healthy and intimate relationship, this may be your only chance to get close to someone unable To empathize with others. Your marriage will be the most important relationship in your life; be wise in who you select to commit to. If you marry a narcissist you will be uniting with a person who does not have empathy. Empathy is necessary for sensitivity to others’ feelings and compassion. While you may not be physically hit or physically abused in this relationship, your heart will be broken 10,000 times. Even if you think you are a “strong” person and can handle it; your strength is not really strength but denial.

There are a lot of triggers for while writing this it's been difficult for me to leave my home because others make fun of me and how I look. I went through that in high school, what is the Caribbean an high school after party that never ends. I've never had a spot in this house to call my own until now.

Pathological Narcissism Psychosis And Delusions
One of the most important symptoms of pathological narcissism (the Narcissistic Personality Disorder) is grandiosity. Grandiose fantasies (megalomaniac delusions of grandeur) permeate every aspect of the narcissist’s personality. They are the reason that the narcissist feels entitled to special treatment which is typically incommensurate with his real accomplishments. The Grandiosity Gap is the abyss between the narcissist’s self-image (as reified by his False Self) and reality.

How Often Is ADHD Diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder?
I have Bipolar Disorder II and ADHD. ADHD was evident when I was a young child. I was always bouncing off of the walls. It was always said that I was “just a hyperactive child,” but that was the 80s when a child that talked too much and too fast and couldn’t sit still and focus was simply called “hyper.” Hyper kids were punished back then because it was seen as misbehaving.

The Best Mindset for Minimizing Stress
It's tough to navigate stress. Part of the problem comes from how not many of us have developed effective ways for dealing with it. In general, social scientists agree that avoidance of stress is not a very effective coping strategy. A lot of (most?) life's stressors are unavoidable and cannot be avoided, but most people can still find ways to relax during difficult times. Although we have to cope with these changes, the best way to deal with them is to prepare in advance. People can get better at how they interpret the stress they experience, but we can't learn to be immune to it.

The Bankrupt Mind
The mind is timeless and eternal, so how can we have a bankrupt mind? As I see it, the ego in mind, with its perception of chronological time, is the problem. The thinking process that we use with its verbalization ties us to the world of the past, present and future. It makes us time travellers who believe that thinking will solve all our problems and fear that we might disappear from the mind if we stop thinking. Thus the thinking process in most individuals becomes a self-sustaining process where one thought ends and another begins. It becomes like a squirrel in a cage where one goes round and round in circles. It becomes a habit where one feels that one cannot stop thinking.

The Medusa Phenomenon
In Greek mythology, Medusa was a monster with a human female face. From her scalp grew living venomous snakes instead of hair. She looked so hideous that gazing directly upon her would turn anyone into stone. In my mind, I regard this fear of turning into stone, very much like the fear of transforming oneself into a new person when confronted with reality, as the Medusa Phenomenon.
