Heyy, I'm 22F and kinda new here. I've been suspecting for a while that I might have Dependent Personality Disorder (DPD), not officially diagnosed, but the signs feel way too familiar.

I get reallyy attached in relationships, even ones that arent active anymore. I overthink everything, especially if someone takes too long to reach out back to me. My mind instantly goes to the worst-case scenarios, and its draining. I think it's been messing with my current relationship after a situation that happened few weeks ago.

But it's not just that. I've noticed its creeping into other parts of my life too, like struggling to stay motived at jobs, not wanting to do things unless my parents are involved and can do it for me, and feeling anxious making basic life decisions on my own.

I just dont know how to manage anymore, and I cry when my mind makes up these random scenarios to fill the silence whenever I start to overthink. I want to be officially diagnosed but cant afford to rn.
