My NPD diagnosis got thrown out

About 2 months ago I was diagnosed with Secondary ASPD and NPD. With regards to NPD, I filled 8/8 diagnostic criteria and have pages on pages of thought patterns and evidence for why I have NPD. I completely opened up and didnt hold back to my specialist, who initially suspected NPD, but ended up telling me I have CPTSD with emotional neglect and early childhood abuse.

With my CTPSD and my ASPD collaborating, it was manifesting as NPD symptoms, but upon a revaluation, my diagnosis got thrown out. Just in a lot of turmoil right now between my 21 year old self and 5 year old self who hate each other.

If you believe you have NPD or any other kind of PD, go out get diagnosed. You need the correct label, and the formalized treatment to properly treat yourself. The sooner you get the help you need, the better of you will be sooner. If your in VIC and have access to Telehealth and Medicare I believe your entitled to 10 free sessions a year, so there’s isn’t really a reason to not go for it. Being receiving treatment since my diagnosis and myself and those around are already recognising a lot of improvements.
