Thank God for this website. I need a friend and I hope I can find it here....

I believe my boyfriend has HPD. Not only he has all the characteristics of an HPD, he also cheats and doesn't seem to have any control over his actions. I'm so sick of his sickening behavior that I'm ready to move on (easier said than done). However, I can't help it but to feel rejected ... which it ...

I think I'm HPD. I try sooo hard to get attention and I get it. I get so jealous and angry when someone else is getting all the attention so I'll go and show off and do something better. Here's things that I've done in the past to get attention:

-In 7th grade I told everyone I was moving to California (keep in mind I'm from Ohio so this was like a big deal to ...

Hi. I've been lurking for a while but haven't found this really addressed, maybe because of the tendency HPDs have for not seeking treatment...anyway, I was wondering if, once an HPD has had successful treatment (hypothetically) do they feel guilt over the things they have done in the past to get attention that maybe would have been against their own morality if it weren't buried under the disorder, like lying, promiscuity, cheating, false accusations, what-not? ...

- She said can seduce any man
- Gets bored so easily
- Is not the type to have relationships or a partner
- Has no maternal instincts
- Loves excitement
- Was bully at school and was very badly behaved at school
- Dad was god-like figure who always forgave her ...

I am new here. I've just begun to put the pieces together but my daughter fits almost all the criteria for histrionic disorder. Some of these traits have always been part of her personality but since going on a long (I think she still is using) meth binge, she just went over the edge. Now I see these traits as the dominant part of her personality. I wonder if she stopped using would she return ...

How do HPDs and histrionics in general fare as mothers?

An HPD client told me that she is not a good mother to her two-year-old daughter. She said she didn't "bond" with her at birth because "I blamed her for all the pain she had just put me through."

The child has been primarily brought up by her maternal grandmother. The child appears well cared for by the maternal grandmother when she is brought in ...
