Does it sound like I have dependant personality disorder?

Postby penguincuddles » Wed Nov 23, 2011 9:17 pm

I have aspergers, ADD and a form of OCD...does it sound like i have DPD too? Here are my symptoms:
- I have difficulty making decisions
- I am constantly seeking reassurance that I am loved
- I crave affection from my boyfriend and i need his full attention
- I get anxious that people will leave me or stop loving me
- I get jealous easily
- I jump from one relationship to the next when one ends
- I keep trying to get support/nurture from others and need them to take care of me
- I'm submissive in a relationship

Could it be that i have the disorder? or do i just have a dependent personality? Or could it be to do with my aspergers/ADD/OCD?

Hi, penguincuddles! Maybe you have some traits of this disorder, you could try to have therapy to figure out what is going on and get treatment. If you let others make decisions for you and always put their feelings and needs first, it must be hard for you.

Hello,

Yeah, that sounds quite as a dependent personality. In long term you need to get that changed to have a great life. See a psykologyst if you can. A great way to learn is also to go and travel a long trip alone, and get to know yourself a bit better. All the best!
