Okay I myself am a narcissist and used to have extreeeme NPD, so I will try to answer the question. Following a breakup I developed severe depression and went to see a therapist, more on relatives' advice than my own will. Anyways, once I found out that I have a "disorder" I started freaking majorly and even drank some pills and had some sort of psychotic break- that was the false self trying to kill me I guess. Anyways, I stopped going to therapy :), and excommunicated my relatives :(, but I've learned my lesson, I'm back with an old girl, getting back on track, and believe it or not- although my body language is still arrogant- I'm not mean or cruel anymore, and I'm actually a lot more relaxed. The thing is- I still have NPD surely, it's just that now I want to use it to be kind to people and suceed- not to be mean and suceed; I think that's what can help a person with NPD most- realizing that it's not necessary to be mean to be an overachiever, matter of fact it's better if you're actually nice; but that's an incredibly tough thing to actually do- matter of fact it almost killed me. But- and here's the big BUT- even after the whole ordeal, I realize that along with my ambition my NPD is coming back- it's just that I want to look nice and successful to others AND treat them nice, not look nice and successful and actually be a neurotic rageaholic. Oh, and another biggie- this disorder is actually made, a person is not born with it, and usually some relative of the person - in my case my dad- has severe NPD as well. It might sound dumb but excommunicate that person and your own NPD will wane a bit- I don't see my dad anymore and frankly I don't want to- he'll never get it and I don't feel like taking his rages personally on a daily basis. :)
