News of Dependent Personality Disorder

Hi,
I have Dependent Personality Disorder and I've been married (2nd marriage) to my wife now for going on 16 years. I have a biological son (with ADHD and anxiety from bullying) and 2 stepson who are both both successful adults. My struggle is twofold
1.) My bio son has a lot of baggage from his biological mother, from being relentlessly bullied, and underlying depression. My wife says that she understands his diagnosis, however is ...

Hi there,

My codependent ex boyfriend broke up with me a while ago when he met someone else, who is manipulative and controlling. She convinced him to break up with me, and now has him believing that *I* am the manipulative, abusive, toxic, etc. one; and that our entire relationship was fake, and just a sick game for me. While this is obviously not true, I mean, very obviously - anyone can tell how much ...

Hi everyone,
lately due to some occuring events I have done a lot of thinking about myself and tryinng to figure out what is going on.. I think I might have DPD or maybe some other PD but I am not sure. Here are some characteristics about me that make me suspect something is 'wrong':

-I always need attention; good or bad (although I am shy and don't like being the centre of attention in ...

So I came across a person who claims to never be angry. Never. Not even about himself. He himself says he has dependent features.
So my question would be:
-Do you percieve anger or not?
-Do you have trouble admitting anger? And if so, why?
-What are the things that make you angry?

in the summer of 2014, my last codependency fell apart, and i've been trying to work on it; the problem then was that nobody actually cared about the problem, so i hardly got anywhere. slowly, i've gotten to be ok, usually, and just broken down once a month for a few days out of loneliness, but now it seems to be resurfacing, i've been really paranoid no matter how hard i tried, but now it's ...

Hi. This post might be a little bit too long. I apologize for it.

I think I might have DPD. The thing is, I don't want to over-analyze and over-diagnose myself with such things. Maybe I'm just sensitive in specific ways. Maybe it's not a bad thing. So, where to start?

I've always struggled with depression, anxiety, and social phobia. Neither of those have been severely damaging to me. On the one hand, I took ...

My wife was recently diagnosed with DPD but we've realized that she's had it for some time. We've been seeing the doctor for cognitive behavior therapy and we're at the point where we think we've discovered the source of the problems from her childhood but we've not really begun treatment on those issues yet.

Over the last 18 months her condition has gone acute, and it's really draining my ability to cope with her condition. ...

I know that maybe this isn't the right place to post it but I am emotionally dependant to a girl. I was brilliant at school and I had friends and then I met a girl and she became so important in my life that I ignored my friends and my school and I became shy and quiet because I don't wanted to talk anyone except my girlfriend. This lasted for three or four years and ...

Hi everyone,

First of all, before I even begin, I'd like to apologize for two things: 1. Sorry if this is in the wrong sub-forum. I wasn't sure if it would fit better in DPD or NOS, and 2. Sorry for the long post, but I feel it's a lot to vent if I want to get rid of this, and I want to try and provide as much detail as I can to give ...

Over the last couple of years, I've become increasingly emotionally dependent on one of my closest friends. I've had various issues with anxiety (especially social anxiety), loneliness, and I think OCD, and I've confided in her a lot. I'm really grateful to have her as support, but I'm really worried about how dependent on her I've become. I often feel lonely and empty when I'm not in contact with her and when I can't see ...
