I have just discovered that I have dependency issues.
I read AvPD is frequently diagnosed with DPD. I wonder if some of you have being diagnosed with both disorders or at least, you display dependency traits. __________________ Social Anxiety and Depression. Cluster C traits.

CANDC, thank you.
It's not that bad. I'm an optimistic person and it's fine to discover things about you. It's better that than ignore them. I'm in a new process in my life now. I'm trying to discover myself and I already count with the fact that all I can discover is not going to be good. __________________ Social Anxiety and Depression. Cluster C traits.

I was diagnosed with AvPD and I also have dependency issues and separation anxiety. I have an unhealthy attachment to my friend/ex. I'm not as bad as I used to be, but I'm definitely not better. I used to text her every single day because I feared that if I didn't, she would abandon me even though if I look at it realistically, I know she would never do that. Unfortunately I don't always see things in a logical way. I think more with my emotions.

Hey Azul,
I also hear that Avoidant Personality Disorder, Dependent and Borderline are often diagnosed amongst each other. I think you posted on a recent thread about Millon's Borderline Subtypes - one of which is labelled, "Discouraged Borderline," which includes Avoidant, Dependent and Borderline pathology. I am a, "discouraged borderline," and I know for a fact that my dependent traits come and go depending on stress. To explain: my DBT therapist recently abandoned me - now I have regressed to a younger state and my dependent traits have increased. All my traits have increased...

Never felt attachment or dependency towards a phychogist. They used to say to me: how is it that you feel comfortable with me?. The reply is simple, I don't see them as a friend. I saw them as psychologists or psychiatrists.
Looking at my past, I see now how I depended on my best friends. On my mother, on my partner, on my best online friend. I feel as if them complete me. As if I need their validation. I think that in some way they have saved me a lot of times and helped me to cope better with my issues. This is why I always said that I was a lucky avoidant, bc I always have many support from people around me. Not sure if it is good or bad???? I can't avoid feeling concerned with these people who has psychological issues and are alone. __________________ Social Anxiety and Depression. Cluster C traits. Trying to improve my English.

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