What are the DPD symptoms?

Postby Paul950 » Wed Dec 07, 2011 3:10 pm

I have an avoidant personality and hang out on that board. But I recently heard about DPD. What are the symptoms?

It sounds like you actually have to be in close enough contact with people to depend on them to do things for you? is that correct?

Well, I'm not in close contact with anybody. I DO suffer from learned helplessness-----where I just can't seem to think I can do things and don't try unless I really have to. But I doubt that I have a dependent personality being such a loner. So do I not understand?

When I was a kid----and at other times in my life, I have felt more comfortable having people do things for me ---such as when I was married. But I don't live with anybody now so I'm not sure I fit into this category. Yet I'm unsure enough that I thought a post in this forum might get me the answers I need.

Hey, Paul! You can probably find the symptoms if you google the illness. Maybe you just have some traits but not the disorder itself?
