personality disorder
Personality disorders are as complex as they are misunderstood; delve into this diagnosis and learn the typical cognitions, behaviors, and inner experience of those inflicted.
PTSD/ADHD or just plain nuts!
Why is everyone always in a hurry? Why does everyone think that everything in life should be free? Why does everyone think that they don’t have to be nice to others? Why does everyone think that it has to be their way? Why do dogs turn in circles before they lie down? Why are they called hamburgers when they are made from beef? Why do you drive on parkways and park on driveways? Why are they called French fries, when they are made in America? Who was the first person to milk a cow and think let’s take a drink? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? What is the connection with Popeye and chicken? Exactly what part of the chicken does the nuggets come from?

Life with Borderline Personality Disorder
I’m not an expert writing in my field. I am a patient who was diagnosed several years with incorrect disorders. It is not easy to be diagnosed as Borderline, which I will refer to now as BPD. There are nine qualities that your therapist or psychiatrist will go over to determine if this is really what you have. As difficult as it is to diagnose, it is difficult to deal with. What I’m wanting to share is my experience with the nine major signs, and hopefully help others that are suffering and don’t know why.

Are narcissists evil or disabled?
Personality disorders are most often a response to trauma. And narcissistic personality disorder is almost impossible to cure because it tends to cause the person afflicted with NPD to play mind games with therapists. It’s a really awful personality disorder. Sadly, it means that whilst their interpersonal communication skills are top-notch from a marketing/PR perspective their relationships tend to be very superficial and built on finding a supply to feed their ego with in a vain attempt to feel better about themselves. They’re really tied up quite tightly by their personality disorder and it’s almost impossible to treat NPD because narcissists play mind games with therapists and aren't capable of being vulnerable enough for therapy to be helpful.

How My Wife Taught me about Mental Health
I have always considered myself an intelligent person, and I strive to be open-minded. I am smart enough to realize that there are things I don’t know, and don’t understand. I know my limits, but have always strived to broaden my horizons by learning that which I do not know. I was always taught to push myself. If I came across a word I didn’t know, I’d look it up. If someone offered an opinion different than mine, I’d look into the facts. If it turned out that the facts had changed, I’d change my opinion rather than argue. This outlook has served me well in life, at least until recently. I have finally come up against something that I just can’t seem to wrap my head around: Mental Health.
