Youngster Questions Reality, WAW Moves On...

Hey WCF,

Really quick - it sounds like you are focusing alot of attention on your W.

At first, I thought my wife might be BPD, or NPD, or even MPD. And I thought the same about her mother, and at points even wondered these things about myself, and while I do possess a considerable degree of narcissism, I don't think it's diagnosable.

The thing is.. a lot of this is situational, and it's a slippery slope to go down to start making it about inherent psychological issues.

I'm not saying you are incorrect, or it is impossible. But the effort you spend attempting to diagnose her is ultimately not going to be very useful to your quest to develop a stronger sense of who you are. And yet it is entirely in developing a more defined self that you will free yourself from the tethers of your suffering.
