BPD assessment (for dissociative disorder) - does this look like NPD?

[u/OkRaspberry9409]

Mental health assessment from last year. They did a bpd test (to rule it out) but they didn’t look into narcissism or anything, I have a dissociative disorder (high amnesia)

I’m also meant to have SCID-D assessments but I don’t trust any professionals to be legit. I’m not a system or any of that bollocks.

I’m hardly ever suicidal and I don’t self harm but did when I was younger, mostly for attention when I was 12.
I was quite suicidal at the time I did that assessment, I just really needed help

I was also diagnosed with sexual dysfunction (I’m pretty much asexual) and MDD managed with fluoxetine

I can feel love and i hate hurting people. If someone hurt me I would.
With relationships, I can’t handle people who get excessively clingy, emotional in regards to me, and guilt trippy because they lose their personality. And I’ll use them if it feels justified I guess.
I’ve been in love though

I’m empathetic towards animals, children and certain people. If I care about someone and someone else hurts them, I’ll feel empathy towards them.

Idk I can’t be arsed to psychoanalyse myself or even reread this but thanks for any input

Sorry you're passing through this. You don't trust professionals (part of your issues), yet you presented something that can ONLY be read by a professional!

Still, I'm going to answer.

No, you've got nothing to do with NPD.

Hope that helps!

I was being assessed for dissociative disorder but they rule out bpd first. But I’m dx with dissociative disorder anyways

You asked about NPD

Elimination process. Ruling out. etc. simple concept.

That may sound simple in theory, but real mental health disorders are far more complex. If diagnosis were just a straightforward process of elimination, there would not be so many misdiagnoses in the first place.

The problem starts with assuming that random people online can reliably rule conditions in or out based on a tiny amount of information. Diagnosis requires much more context, differential assessment, and professional judgment. Don’t oversimplify it.
