There are a lot of personality disorders, so many, sometimes, that we lose track. Personally, I know someone with schizophrenia, several people who have narcissist traits, autism, and ADHD that run in my own family, and even a few people diagnosed with borderline disorder.

One evening, while sipping a glass of my favorite casual red blend, I started examining the label.

People dream of being stranded in paradise...until it happens for real.
