Getting to know DPD more
Personality Disorders Support / by InsightfulPhoenix

...See more Tw: Discussion, DPD, questions  Good morning everyone, It's InsightfulPhoenix and some even call me Phoe <3. I have come here to speak to you all about DPD, which is also known as Dependent Personality Disorder on a deeper level <3. Someone from a session requested of this information, and I am here to provide it in a little bit more context!  DPD is created from childhood trauma, and usually can lead to another form of attachment styles when an individual grows older due to whether the individual was raised in chaos, neglected whether emotionally or even physically. DPD can be hard to diagnose, because just as many other Personality Disorder it mimics and/or blends in with another disorder's symptoms.  Below are some images that contain viable information on DPD <3.  now that the definition and brief run down is out of the way let's truly begin, shall we?  Some of you may even ask, "We know the symptoms now, what are the characteristics?" Which is exactly what we are getting into now <3. The characteristics of DPD are indecisiveness, usually overall passive/submissive in their tone/approach to misunderstandings including conflict itself, not being able to have a disagreement with anyone or disagree with someone, sometimes even allowing someone else whether a trusted family member, romantic partner or friend to handle their personal matters this includes disagreements as well, and even extreme fears of abandonment including abandonment from loved ones. Those with DPD have a difficult time forming relationships with family members, friends and even partners because of the extremes of their emotions and lack of social cues.  Now that we have gotten the Characteristics, lets move into some examples that have been portrayed through media. The biggest form of DPD that I have seen is the movie Tangled, Rapunzel had a very difficult time processing when she first left the tower with Flynn, if you listen to all that she is saying she is displaying many of the characteristics in one setting. The first one she displayed was indecisiveness which is why she was flip/flopping between doing her own thing or not. Another display of DPD was actually from Mother Gothel, she was doing her singing bit which if you listen carefully she is creating a more severe attachment to herself within Rapunzel because she is telling her that "she knows best" because she is mom, which in Rapunzel's eyes Mother Gothel is her trusted adult that handles all of her conflicts and issues outside. These are two displayed characteristics of DPD that some not noticed. Another media display of DPD shown is the show fosters home for imaginary friends, with bloo and mac. Bloo was always looking for jake in everything, causing alot of issues with others with his indecisiveness but then always using Mac or Frankie to get him out situations with the others.  I hope that this thorough breakdown of DPD is helpful those of you that wanted to learn more even just view different medias differently seeing characters or book characters more relatable <3  Reflection time:  1. What other media can you DPD being used? 2. How come you feel DPD is very stigmatized? 3. How did reading this make you feel and would you enjoy more break downs like this?
Learning the facts and fictions of ASPD

...See more Tw: deep talk, ASPD, Discussion, and reflection questions A bit ago a member had asked me to possibly do a forum post about ASPD, and I took my time to collect the information. What better place to do it than the Personality Disorders community page? Let's get into the discussion, ASPD (Antisocial Personality Disorder) means an individual occasionally lacks moral regard for others, indicating that the individual has a harder time forming emotional connections whether platonically or even romantically.  Facts:  -Most individuals who deal with ASPD struggle with repeating patterns such as lying and struggle with work relationships  - ASPD can be diagnosed around 18 years of age, the earliest age is 15 years old  - Symptoms have been proven to not occur from other Mental Disorders  -Occasionally someone with ASPD can be chaotic enough to get themselves into trouble  Fiction:  -ASPD is a made-up disorder that people use for attention ( ASPD occurs from severe traumatic childhood, the individuals do not do any of these things for attention)  -ASPD is the same as Autism ( They have some similarities but they are not the same, there is a compare and contrast image below showing the differences and similarities <3 )  -ASPD is the same thing as Borderline Personality Disorder and Avoidant Personality Disorder (Each of these Disorders is its own and is not the same by any means)  -An Individual with ASPD will continue to act out or not care ( This is very untrue because some that do deal with this Disorder do seek help and treatment, therefore creating an easier time with having a support system)  To end this on a bright note, if you or a loved one is dealing with ASPD please know that you are not alone, and you are valid. You deserve to be apart of this world <3  Some pictures of ASPD:  Reflection Questions:  1. Did you know any of these things before reading this?  2. What are some ways you have identified ASPD in someone near you or from your past? 3. How did this make you feel? Would you want more Disorders like this broken down further? 
Relentless Compassion

...See more tw: deep thought, older generations, society and realization  Hello everyone and good afternoon. I just wanted to come on here and speak on something that I have taken a notice too. The other night, I was scrolling on another social media because I was bored. I noticed that there were a lot of older-generation women being quite rude. Now, before I get into this not all of the older-generation women are bad, it was just the ones that I saw, and what they were doing was cruel.  As women, we have come a long way from suppression, and facing things that none of us had to endure throughout those periods. However, this woman tried to tell me that my "compassion was misplaced" for being kind and loving to someone who was within the LGBTQ+ community. This upset me initially, because of her statement how she was deflecting and questioning my boundaries.  Then as I woke up this morning, it came to my mind. Of course, many are still healing their wounded inner child, because for some healing/recovery meant they were oddish or looney and did not deserve to have anyone around them. Which is very cruel thought of those people back then, but that is how things were. Women were not allowed to think, be smart, hold any opinion, or have any compassion for anything other than those under the roof.  This thought process then brought me to I wonder how many of our grandmothers are still healing their inner child even to this day? 
Within the Fallen Leaves

...See more Tw: Deep discussion/ Sections mentioned/ Questions/ Self-Reflection and External Reflection  Good afternoon everyone, It has been such a long time since I have done one of these. Well, here I am delivering another good thoughtful, and deeply entuned discussion. Today, I would like to take a moment to discuss the terminology "Within the Fallen Leaves".  When you think of this terminology what is the first thing that comes to mind? Fall/Autumn right? This is perfectly normal considering it mentions "Fallen Leaves". What if I told you it was a metaphor for releasing learning methods, personality traits, etc just like the shedding of skin that a reptile does.  Releasing the old is always seen as therapeutic which is true because you are ridding of the old habits that no longer coincide with the version of you that is coming to fruition. Sometimes, when we adapt to change, we adapt in the ways of others because of the influence at the time. There is nothing wrong with being influenced in positive ways, but it's when negativity comes into play that you should walk the other way. Society finds so many ways to applaud the negativity and shrug off the positive. Especially when it comes to celebrating achievements, you either hear minor chanting or nothing at all. This is rather alarming, this makes the "Leaves" around you that have fallen from you seem unnoticed and can make you feel alone in the changes of the "season" you are undergoing.  Remember each celebration is deserved, so yes always look at your "leaves" and clap, because at the end of the day. Those things that are no longer a part of you and have drifted away to become part of the past deserve to be noticed. If no one has told you today, I will be the first "Congratulations on releasing those old ways and habits". I hope you all have a wonderful day <3
