I saw something that reminded me of something my Nmom did a while back that might make you guys laugh. There are a lot of sad/dark stories on here, but it might help to laugh a little about how ridiculous some of this stuff was, haha.
A few years ago my Nmom's doctor told her that she had osteoporosis/bone density loss. Shitty diagnosis, no doubt, but definitely not fatal or life-altering in any way. She basically had to go through a few rounds of medication for a year or two, but is completely back to normal now (which is great, of course, don't get me wrong). Even though she legitimately had a problematic health condition, it was honestly kind of hilarious/sad to hear her talk about it as if it were cancer or something. She milked it for alllllll it was worth. At one point, my (then) boyfriend and I had to stop ourselves from laughing when she got up from the couch in the most melodramatic/pained manner to grab her shots from the refrigerator. She then proceeded to tell us in the most pathetic voice she could muster that we should "always remember to take our vitamins" because "nobody should have to go through this sort of thing."
Anyways, this was a FB post she made about a month or so after her "diagnosis" in order to "raise awareness" about her debilitating disease. Having now recognized her as a narcissist, it's even funnier to read through it now because it's so obvious that she's just seeking her N-supply. But yeah, I just thought that you all might get a kick out of it and that you might have some similar funny stories about the N's in your life. If you do, feel free to post in the comments because I'm sure everyone could use a good laugh or two!
