DPD Jesus
I was brought up in an environment that led me to develop Dependent Personality Disorder (DPD), something I struggle to live with. My symptoms might have worsened because I might also have Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). There has been a lot of misunderstanding about DPD recently, so please remember I’m not a spokesperson for the disorder-do your own research before making assumptions.
I tend to get overly attached to people who show me a lot of affection or attention, or who were there for me during times when I couldn’t handle my own decisions. Nowadays, I don’t get overly attached very often-I have my FP, and she’s my world. I physically can’t bring myself to leave people I’m attached to. I’d rather be hurt than let them go.
She laughs whenever people say I’m clingy to them. If someone bothers me too much, I just block or ignore them-like right now, I have 37 unread messages on Instagram. Automatically assuming I’m dependent on you just because you’re older is really weird. You could just ask instead of making assumptions about me.
DPD has a strong hold on me, and some people have taken advantage of that. One person told me he’d be upset if I ate without his permission, forced me into relationships with older people, and pressured me into things knowing I’d do them just to make him happy.
