coping with histrionic personality disorder: help.

This is a very passionate forum. One of the good things about it is that despite it being the scene of some heated exchanges, there's often something to be taken or at least learned from the aftermath.
However, you've just told someone you wish they were dead. No matter if you're HPD or not, you clearly have some other unsavoury character traits.
cmj85 is alive and will get through his ordeal, but perhaps your comment shows that it's you who has a part of yourself that's already dead. At least, the human part.

Having said that, I sincerely hope that you find whatever it is you're looking for, just the same as everyone else who posts and contributes to this forum - albeit in a more sane manner.

Hey guys, lets keep these posts in this forum mature. I didn't start this topic to put blame anywhere. Regardless, people do deserve to be treated equally. Remember, the way you treat others is essentially the way you treat yourself... SO. with that said, lets try to HELP eachother and not bring eachother down, regardless of whether you think he/she might deserve it.

Anyways. Thank you for your comment again, Sir Lingam. Your input really helped. I actually found a book the other day on Hyper Sensitive Personality(/People), and it's pretty much me, too. (sensitive to loud sounds, too much stimulation, violence, excessive emotionalism from others, uncleanliness, etc, and picks up more on "vibes" than anything else, and needs more time to recuperate than others from stimulation). I have, without a doubt, had "histrionic episodes" before. But it's not persistent, and hasn't lasted longer than a couple weeks of insanity. Either way, I'm really glad to have learned so much about histrionic personality disorder, through some experience and through this research and talking about it. It has made me think differently about my motivations, regardless of whether its a personality disorder or not. I have been the type of person to not hang out with anyone for a while and then once a week go out and like to get some attention. I do think, when I'm out, that I suppress the real depth in me and get attention through talking about things I've been studying, or with sports (surfing and gymnastics), and yes, physical attractiveness. I think people define me by those things more than I define myself by it, and it becomes an easy way to take on a persona through these things than talking about what I'm really feeling inside.
I guess it's all a balance, and it's about learning what that balance is, both in mentality and action. I think I'm the type of person who can swing in a bunch of different directions seeking balance, no matter how seemingly hypocritical, just to learn about myself and my boundaries. For example, drinking 5 months straight.. to stop cold and start thinking differently, documenting what I go through everyday and incorporating spirituality (Buddhism, some Christianity, even quantum theory into everyday life). Then a year later, I went down hill again.. very briefly and I won't go there. Now I'm home again, learning about all of this, taking it even slower, with subtle but ultimately life transforming shifts. I am being harder on myself than I've ever been, mostly because I'm tired of living life as a frustrated person and I want to really challenge who I think I am.. now seems to be a crucial time.

Again, thanks for your help.

The best thing that you can do is get help from a psychologist that deals in histrionic personality disorders. That is it! I am sure that at some point the hpd person finds a way to not accept the truth. A personality can only be helped with you and a specialist..........
