Thanks for the reply,
I too am glad that I am on this board now and not the meds board. I tried meds ( tons and tons of them) for over 13 years to treat my "unresponsive bipolar" - well luckily for me , I found out I had some severe food allergies to very common foods, ( gluten, corn, eggs) etc. and have cut those out of my diet and added some supplements and I have succesfully gotten off all meds and feel "normal" for the first time in my life ( there is a god!)
But now the chemistry is in check, I have done some reflecting and see there are parts of my personality I would really like to work on. I always blamed my " messed up chemistry " on my bad behavior.. thats no longer an option. Its time to face the music and its going to be hard , but I know ist worth it.
As for your post, I agree , I am not a full blown NPD person ( unlike who I was with - it was uncanny when I read the description b/c it was like it was describing this exact person) -- But I am no angel and although I certainly have emotions and empathy for people it has not stopped me from lying and cheating on my girlfriends in the past. ( although ironically not the last one, who was doing that all to me) This was just to get the thrill of a new conquest and make me feel like I'm something special. its stupid and immature, and hurtful and I hope I never do it again.
Sorry for the long ramble,
Thanks again for the concern and info
JB
