I have been called needy so many times by family mostly because I see a psychiatrist and soon....a psychologist. They tell me I need to just move on with life and forget about what happened to me. I was diagnosed DID a few years ago but had it since age 8. My mom keeps telling me I'm the neediest person there is, just because I seek counseling. Also my bipolar they say is in my head and that I'm needy for seeing a psychiatrist. Personally, I don't see how I'm needy. I'm just ill.
