News of Histrionic Personality Disorder Forum

Do people still go this forum? This is my first time posting anything...I probably won't get any replies. I'm an 18 year old girl and I think i have histrionic personality disorder- before i self diagnosed myself with HDP, i thought I had bipolar disorder, just a hypochondriac, and borderline personality disorder. I rememebered reading one of the posts by TheLonelyStranger about hyponchdria and HDP having some kind of correlation. I do so many quizzes ...

I was reading about personality disorders when I came across Histrionic, and immediately thought of a woman at work. What do you guys reckon? Some of the points below do not suggest Histrionic, but I'm including them anyway to give a proper description of her personality, she may not be Histrioni after all, or she may be something else entirely, or just normal.

I need advice on how to love a histrionic and have a healthy relationship, if a way exists. He loses control of himself frequently, and ...

After reading various articles on the web - I now need your opinion
These are what I have observed:

-very quiet girl and appears very obedient and very well- behaved to an outsider who does not know her well

Hello there and thanks for taking the time to read this. After reading several of the other threads, I almost feel guilty taking up space as my problems seem to be so small in comparison to some of the others posted here.

I have been having a big problem with feelings of "jealousy" and needing to be the center of attention. After doing some research on the internet, I found some sites on HPD and ...

I was diagnosed as having adhd and mild bipolar symptoms by my psychiatrist. Well I just found out that I also have histrionic personality disorder. I am not suicidal nor do I have psychotic episodes but all the other symptoms fit like a glove. I never quite realized I was that way. I knew I was pretty egotistical and everyone tells me I am the biggest flirt on the planet but I always figured that ...
