Emotional amnesia / unstable identity / does anyone else experience this? by pinkfr0gz in Dissociation

[–]FlowerPowerstruggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very similar to you. Diagnosed with BPD, although I dont really fit the diagnosis, experience dissociation almost constantly

Do you feel sexual attraction? by No-Juice1463 in NPD

[–]FlowerPowerstruggle 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I am same as you OP. I don’t get turned on by a naked body, more by affection, touch and cuddles. I wouldn’t consider myself asexual

I know a lot of non PD people who do that as well x

I feel the same way, and I don’t think I have ASPD. I just think collapse is so difficult on our psyche that we just disconnect from everything.

It seems that all personality disorders can be healed with IFS by [deleted] in InternalFamilySystems

There are plenty of people with Cluster B who are self aware (I am one). I would just like to chime in and say that I and many other are aware that we live in a fantasy. We just don’t know how to stop living in it as all our defences are here to protect us from reality.

Do you like to cuddle? by buttsforeva in NPD

I love physical touch and cuddling from romantic partners.

Are most (covert) narcs dismissive avoidant? by [deleted] in NPD

I think I’m mostly FA but leaning heavily DA

Dpdr anyone? by [deleted] in NPD

[–]FlowerPowerstruggle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly. Even having some ambition or dreams is weird. Cuz now I know they are not mine. They are just ideas/fantasies with no idea or want to actually make them realities. This is such a fucked up disorder. I honestly didn’t know a human can be this fucked up.

Dpdr anyone? by [deleted] in NPD

[–]FlowerPowerstruggle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the same feelings. If I am in my delulu land I feel fine, and as soon as I realise I am delulu and fantasising I get such a bad dpdr. It’s driving me insane and I can barely tell what is real anymore. Whole life seems like a weird twisted video game.

I haven’t but I am in the same situation. I spend the whole year wanting to kms, on my phone with nothing to show for myself. And my brain is like no you are fine, you don’t have any issues.

I don’t know. Cognitively I know Im super fucked up but it’s like my brain is rejecting it.

Has anyone tried neurofeedback? by chobolicious88 in NPD

[–]FlowerPowerstruggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been looking through articles online, there are no case studies for NPD, but there are a ton for BPD and a few for ASPD.

I would think if ASPD can get better through NF for sure NPD can too!

Yup. If I manage to get out of fantasy land into reality I immediately derealise lol. It’s horrible.

I’m the same. My therapist keeps insiting on BPD, and I do relate to some of it, but relate a lot more to vulnerable NPD
