I’d guess histrionic, with dashes of schzoid and dependent.As an aside, I cannot diagnose her and I won't pretend I can, but she has more going on than just substance abuse issues and malingering. Those are often comorbid with other disorders, but I'd be fascinated to see what a psych treating her would have to say. There's almost certainly something cluster B going on, and the more she speaks the more the narcissistic traits come to the surface. The way she thinks she always has a "way out" is really suspicious. She always has an answer or explanation, they're not convincing but they're there, she has a constant "endgame" card she can pull whenever it suits her (her death), she always has another "official" to turn to (new doctor, the mayor, etc) and she seems to very sincerely believe they will fix her problem, she holds her sister and mother hostage with guilt and is enabled. There's more, but I won't keep going. Usually I suspect BPD with munchies, but she doesn't check as many of those boxes in my mind. Would love to see some others' insights about this, if they'd like to share.
