I did an online questionnaire on personality disoders and DPD traits was high nearly 100%. My therapist has said I had personality issues- she doesnt like to use labels and I now I see why. She was polite. I was very surprised that I didnt know that I was dependent, I had thought that when I was a carer that I was helping out and very caring, but it was still all about dependency. It really isnt funny that I was thinking poor old me, had been a carer etc etc, when it was really my own dependency. Its not easy to acknowledge and I struggle with it, but what is a bit scary is that the voice in my head, which I presume is meactually believed I was some caring person and not dependent. Anyway it was enough to scare me back into psychotherapy.
