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.

I also learned through this website that I was DPD and went to my therapist and mentioned it to her. She said she didn't like to label people because I may use it as an excuse to not grow. What helped me was to journal each definition and to see how severe each trait matched me. Then I looked at them to where I am now and have seen my growth. It also made me more determined to break through some things than to hang onto them and use it as an excuse. Don't let the definition of DPD keep you stuck

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
