Life with Bipolar Disorder, NPD, and PTSD. Content Warning.
Living with Bipolar Disorder (BPD) is an emotional rollercoaster. My moods swing from the dizzying heights of mania to the suffocating depths of depression, often without warning. Adding to this, both my husband Nick and I have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which brings its own set of challenges. Being married to Nick, who also has Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), feels like navigating a minefield while blindfolded.

The Protagonist
I'm uncertain about her condition, but I heard some noises from her room last night. My tenant, Riya, seems to be in distress. She's been asleep for 18 hours. When I went to wake her up, the sight was alarming. Her room was immaculate, but she was lying on her bed, which was stained red with blood. She's been menstruating for 18 hours, and blood is still seeping onto the bed. Despite sleeping for 18 hours, she had dark circles under her eyes when she woke up.

My Journey from Birth to Present. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
One year at the temple, I met many people and made many friends from all over the place. We didn't have phones back then, so we only got to know each other at the temple and chatted when they visited the temple during their travels. I learned to be more composed; I no longer indulged in playful activities as I used to. I learned to listen. Hearing people's stories, understanding their reasons for coming to the temple, their circumstances, I realized that everyone has different situations in life—from the elderly to the young. Some don't want their children to suffer because of them, some are escaping love, some lack stable jobs, some haven't found their direction in life, and some are tired of the outside world.
