Why am I overthinking?
Hello, my name is Victoria Grace and I am very new. This is my first story and I though about writing something that is not something that would probably be on here. Keep in mind the story I am about to tell you, I have never seen myself do, my mother has told me what I've done.

My Multiples Won"t Leave Me Alone.
To be honest I don"t know who is writing this, or which personality is writing this, I just know that I find myself talking and answering myself a lot these days and some of the voices are not my own. This is not a cry for help it's to let others know that mental health can be a serious matter.

My Mad Hatter
I get out of bed, pour a cup of joe and sit on the couch with my phone and start scrolling. My partner asks, "Ry can you please do some chores around the house today." *silence* "Ry don't forget about your appointment today." I look up for a minute and say, "Thank-you" and return to scrolling again. He looks at me incredulously and sighs, kisses me and tells me to have a good day. I come out of my internal turmoil and realize I am distracted, not listening, unfocused and not paying attention. I feel like I am in a fog and immediately feel guilty. I text him to apologize and hope he has a good day. This would be considered a typical morning for us. My partner is a wonderful, kind, loving and supportive man who would do anything for me. He is also a man who has been living with someone for 2 years that is recovering from alcoholism, and who has been diagnosed with border line personality disorder (BPD).

BPD
BPD- what is it? Borderline Personality Disorder is a mental illness in which an individual struggles to regulate their emotions. It is so heavily stigmatised and most professionals refuse to work with someone who has this diagnosis. They believe us to be manipulative, dangerous, attention seeking and unlovable. They believe it to be untreatable. But It is so misunderstood. With DBT and meds, it can slowly improve the symptoms. People can recover.

Narcissism of Everyday Life
Narcissism of everyday life. We need to be more aware of those particular people around us. Most of us actually have some characteristics of a Narcissistic Personality. What makes us different from fully having the full extent is that we are recognizing that we have issues with some of the traits.

The Toxic Narcissist
I had heard the word narcissist, but I guess I just had never really taken it into much consideration. I mean, I guess everyone can occasionally have narcissistic tendencies. But that's different than Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Covid CHAOS-The Games Narcissists Play.
COVID-19 is a haven for narcissists and psychopaths to amp up the abuse at home. It is an opportunity for them to be menacing, abusive and to sabotage the career of the target, whilst disrupting the children and family and subjecting them to persistent chaos.

Why We Should Eliminate Sociopathy From the Gene Pool
Eliminating sociopathy from the gene pool, now that is a concept. If we could rewrite the genes of a baby at conception, this idea could work. It is one way to treat genetic disabilities at any rate, and since I have 22q, Velocardiofacial syndrome, it is a way to treat this disorder that researchers at major clinics like Stanford are working on. Narcissism or sociopathic spectrum mental illness is not always something that you are born with but rather it is something that a person can develop due to something that happens at the age of 2 or 3, due to parenting styles.
