[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 536486, member: 455"] We do lovingly call her "your royal....what ever word comes at the time (could be princess or queen)" from time to time and she will laugh. Like yes your royal.... other times we use it as in "you are NOT the queen of the universe". It actually got started, this particular phrase due to the fact that she would always end her phone calls to her boy-friend (not boyfriend) with that phrase. We adopted it hence why we get away with it. But I'm telling you she started this long long ago when her and her little brother was very little. She would "pretend" (though we now know it wasn't so pretend) that she was the princess and him her slave and make him do all kinds of things for her to the point that at one time she had him crawling around on hands and knees with a leash and collar attached like a dog! I'm not kidding either!! That was about when they were 6 and 7 respectively I think. She has claimed a loveseat in our house that absolutely is hers and there is a hard time getting her to get off of or even share a space for anyone else to sit on. Luckily we do have another couch. There is a mess all around that loveseat and a tv tray that she leaves up and it's all hers. Some things may get replaced and moved but the mess is hers and boy does she lounge on that like it's a queen's throne. She will even lay down and eat at times (and I have to yell at her to SIT up) as WHO lays down and eats? I can't even think about how hard it is to do that and swallow? Just another sign of how lazy she can be sadly. As for the diagnosis', I don't necessarily believe all of them. I believe she displays symptoms (like some of you said) and I know there is family history of some of it. I just am not sure that she actually HAS these things. I don't know how we will ever be able to stabilize her moods since she failed the 3 main mood stabilizers due to side effects (all had pretty much the same effect on her, some with far worse ones).
