Bipolar Disorder Misdiagnosed as Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)

[GaryWonderwood]

i also watched your vid on their chosen professions.. i think u need to add chefs in there. im a chef and i know alot of them too. and half are fucking ego-maniacs... and yes this job is very gratifying to your ego... what do u think?

[GaryWonderwood]

this one makes alot of sense....ive watched about 7 vids of urs... and ive been diagnosed bi polar and ocd. but i see alot of this in me but not some. but it makes me want to know. i quit taking the bi-polar meds a yr ago cuz when i drank it made my suicidal and it didnt work either. but im an insomniac but it doesnt go away its not like it comes in phases. can u help me to find if i am or not

I want to ask whether narcissistic, also wanted to commit suicide??

[kingStormySky]

what if a person experiences controversive symptoms of both conditions while being objectively extremely intelligent? is that really possible - to have both at the same time?

Across the various phases of bipolar swings, the person denies the self. This is because in the euphoric state, self scrutiny may well spoil the party. In the depressed phase it is too painful to consult the heart and face the self. When moving between states of mood there is great guilt and other issues to discourage self annalysis.

In this way, is the bipolar victim teaching the art of self denial and becoming a Narcissist under the weight of the brain chemistry delema of bipolar disorder?

A narcissist can be bipolar and vice versa. As a diabetic can be narcissist or bipolar ?

I knew someone who was both, it's confusing, abusive and exhausting.

[sophiamedium]

Hallelujah, it's the truth!

I would say: "poor you".

[GalinorGustave]

what would you say if someone was narcissistic & bipolar at the same time?

@GalinorGustave My sibling has both Bipolar disorder and Narcissistic Personality Disorder. He is quite a handful I must say.
