Anyway, I recently had to come to the conclusion (rather painfully) that I am a classic case of Borderline Personality Disorder... like oh so dysfunctionally so!
I mean I got it all, from excessively asking people their advice, to having near panic attacks when making decisions, avoiding close relationships and getting clingy when I have them... Oh yeah, it's all staring me in the face!
Whoa, wait! Hold your horses!
Occam's razor: All of these symptoms also point to textbook codependency.
People who are borderline aren't capable of recognizing they're borderline. Codependent people are more than willing to take on the personality defects of their abusers. Don't saddle yourself with a heavy diagnosis. Talk to a professional about this stuff.
