Or maybe because i am sooo Codependent I am way scared of the extreme difficulties of being on my own. I mean, i COULD be on my own, if i believed i was gonna be ok. So, that's why this is so difficult to sort out. What if someone was an invalid? I mean they might literally depend on someone, but does that give them the personality disorder?

I don't really know what you mean by "invalid" but I think if you literally physically can't survive without other people because, I don't know, you're a triple amputee or something, that doesn't really count for DPD. I think when they said "can't survive without the other person" means they feel incapable of day to day life without somebody to rely on in more of an interpersonal/social way than a physical way.
