Ok, I found the book title hilarious. It's obviously a "self-help" book, right? I mean, it IS about self-absorption. And what could be better than a little self-reflection about self-absorption in a book in which YOU help YOU get over having dealt with Narcissistic parents. D'ya think there's something wrong with that premise?

Sort of like an "Drinking: a guide for children of alcoholics" or "Tall tales: stories of pathological liars."

Maybe it's not YOU who needs the help. Ya consider that? Maybe the three of them can't do it alone--they're co-dependent when it comes to therapy.

I would call it a self-help book but it wasn't in the self-help section. I found it in the Psychology section

I'm glad to know many found this funny If I can keep my sense of humor no matter how warped then I know I'm fine (fine? yeah right ). It's when I lose my sense of humor that I know I'm in big trouble.

Brenda, right now I'm not sure anyone is doing anything for me except triggering crap I thought was done and over. I feel like I'm

At least my Psychiatrist isn't telling me I'm depressed . The newest addition (therapist) I see on Friday - I bet that will be fun

Many of your responses have made me laugh and I thank each of you for understanding that sometimes there's nothing we can do when life becomes overwhelming but....Laugh

When I stop laughing I'm hoping that I'll be dead. Not sure I'll make it through life any other way. So yeah, I hear ya about the laughing part.

Talk about triggering stuff you thought you were over.... I went for a psych eval because the one neuro I saw in January wanted to rule out depression as a cause of some of my sx. So the psych doc and I meet a few times and one day we really get into stuff about my parents--both alcoholics when I was young and my mom may still be drinking. It stirred up loads of stuff and I couldn't sleep at all. Next visit I told him that there was only one thing off limits for discussion--my issues with my parents. He just laughed and said that from the expression on my face he knew that THAT was going to be what flapped me and he was ok with not going there. Been there, worked through it myself, and have come to grips with it. Don't need to discuss minutae of it again and relive it all. Living it once was quite enough, thank you very much and I felt quite the same way as you with the horse! (BTW, he said no to depression and causing sx, which was good to hear)

Hang in there, Snoopy.
