Hi guys, not sure if everybody knows my story and who/how I am
I am a 23 year old female who was born and lives in Belgium. But my parents were born and raised in Morocco. I am a narcissist with social anxiety/socially awkward type of person. So I hate myself for being narcissistic and deep down I always felt it is not okay to be so celf centered. I hated my own behavior and I hated it even more that my bad behavior (using others etc) didn’t give me any feeling of remorse or guilt.
Past friday I had an intake for tdcs treatment with the psychiatrist. I convinced him that I was depressed for the last 8 months and have been on medication for the last three months.. I didn’t tell him the full truth. I did tell him I was depressed, but I didn’t tell him why. I was scared if I told him that I was depressed for being narcissistic then he wouldn’t agree on trying the Tdcs.
So today I had my first treatment. The electrodes were placed on my forehead and the stimulation took 20 minutes. I only experienced a bit of tingling/electricity on my skull, but it wasn’t discomforting.
After I left the hospital I didn’t notice anything changing and still felt like a narcissistic *****. But now there is something weird going on. Today I am sleeping over at my sisters house. I am with her in bed now and the kids are sleeping next to us in seperate beds. And all of the sudden i am very aware of their existence and their movements and sounds. Normally I am so self centered that i don’t even hear them or pay attention to them. Is this empathy?
Also my sister is sleeping next to me in bed and I just want to hug her real tight. Normally i hate hugs and i hate it when people touch my body. Is this love and empathy?
I am thinking of my mom that I left alone at home and I feel guilty about it and I miss her. Is this love and empathy?
Oh God I hope so!! I hope that tdcs provides empathy for narcissists. This would be so so so helpful for treatment of personality disorders!!!
My next appointment for tdcs is on thursday. I will keep you guys posted! (I you’re intersted ff course hihi). I am so so so happy! My suicide thoughts are even starting to fade away!
P.s. I think i might get the lump in my armpit checked. Kisses and hugs !!

The last part of your post is somewhat funny, but regardless glad to feel this way may you keep up. Also thanks to you I just found what TDCs are 🙂
I hope so too. And I hope that whatever you have to deal with will get better or get solved too. If you need somebody to talk to or tell your story to, I am here for you. Yeah I did the sickest and most obsessive research ever on how to be more empathic and that’s how I found tdcs
Wow, I bet having all those feelings is both wonderful and unsettling.
Yes it’s amazing. I’m wondering if more tdcs will give me more of this. I am really looking forward to it!
Ill be your friend.
I will be yours too. If you feel lonely or troubled, I’m here for you to talk/vent too
Thank you for your kind words.
You’re welcome
