The practice of exploring abandoned spaces calmed the symptoms of what eventually became a cyclothymia diagnosis — a rare mood disorder — much later in life. As I got older and moved away, my childhood fascination with abandoned spaces almost vanished completely.

"For the longest time it always felt defeatist to take the stance that people with narcissistic personality disorder don't change," she says. "It doesn't feel fair, and it's hard, but it's a fundamental truth that they don't change." "The more maladaptive a personality the less likely they are to change," Durvasula says.
