News of Dependent Personality Disorder

Hey, I am S., I'm 16 years old, female and I have the personality disorders dependent personality disorder and self-defeating personality disorder.


The first thing I can remember in my life is my dad hurting me. And I ever been hurt. Not just hit, I ever been alone. When I was younger I didn't have any friends for a long time, up to now.
And so it went till I came to middle school. I ...

It is interesting that there are not many posts on this board. I guess we are all hanging out at the NPD and alcoholics board talking about our partners. I have a lot of the symptoms of this, but what is the difference if any between being co-dependent, which I know that I am and actually having the disorder, or is this the same thing just a new term?

Hi!

Might as well start off with an enthusiastic exclamation mark ay, so where to start. I'm 30 year old guy from London. I was recently involved in a relationship that I thought could go all the way. Up until it ended I wasn't aware that she could of had hpd or elements of a disorder although her behaviour at times did make me wonder. It was only on the day that she decided to ...

Hello I am new here, and hoping for help. I will try to be brief, yet as descriptive and honest as possible.

I am a 36 year old single male. Since high school I have had five "serious" girlfriends. I dated them all consecutively with almost no break between relationships. All of them broke up with me except for one who I broke up with because she disrespected my parents, was verbally abusive to me, ...

Hey, I'm new... I just needed some place to talk... and maybe get some support from others. And hopefully I can offer some support to you, too. I am a female, and I have Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

I've never been diagnosed with DPD, but that might be because I don't tell my psychiatrist everything. It's really hard for me to talk about my problems and emotions. I have anxiety, and when ...

Hi everyone! I'm caught in serious ponder at the moment and should like some advice.

I'm an adult child of an alcoholic mother and have been in various kinds of therapy during the course of the last 4 years. Recently I've become aware and have discussed with my psychologist that I have dependent personality traits.

Last summer I came out of a 2-year relationship - I broke up (*very proud*) - even though I was ...

Hi
So I've been browsing this forum for a while now and finally got around to joining. I'm freaking out, feel like I'm losing my mind,very scared. In a severe depressive episode due to the loss of the person that I was emotionally dependant on. He left for the US a year ago but I've been clinging to his e-mails, now he tells me he's got a girlfriend, getting married. I can't let on how ...

Hi I'm new here, not sure where I should post this or where to start reading. The number of threads to read, and possible disorders I could have is overwhelming. I've never been diagnosed, although I have been to see a psychologist for a while. From what I've read so far I think my biggest problem is my dependence on my boyfriend - but I also show symptoms of social phobia, and seasonal affective disorder. ...

I've written a letter to my psych(haven't seen her in a year and a half or so, but have written to her about multiple things, this being one of them) about this being a high possibility and for an assessment of this and what she thinks. She doesn't know me very well personally, other than my ADHD and OCD, and from what others have told her about me(been with the clinic since age 7), but ...
