Dependent on teachers, therapists... Anyone else?

Postby DPD2017 » Thu Jun 01, 2017 1:13 am

Dear those with DPD,

I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder back in August and Dependent Personality Disorder this March. I was in an outpatient Dialectical Behavior Therapy program where I also get individual therapy. I have made improvements in many areas except for one, attachments to people.

I get unhealthily attached to teachers, professors, coaches, supervisors, some families I babysit, and most recently my therapists. I am not attached to significant others like most people with DPD seem to be which is why it took the team of therapists a couple of months to figure it out.

I feel like I can't live without these people. I want them to remain in my life forever. Also, I feel like I don't know how to live my life without their guidance and constant reassurance that they won't leave. I know I can't be friends with my therapist but I had hoped that when I finish therapy which is the goal, we could stay in touch and it would be reciprocated.

Is there anyone else that is attached to someone / others that isn't a boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, or wife?

Thank you.
