Separation anxiety in DPD is one of those things that does not go away entirely, but it gets easier the more you experience it, especially if your DP is fairly accommodating to your disorder and tells you, inasmuch as they can, when they'll be away.

Unfortunately, not everyone can accommodate you 100% of the time, and you can't be excessive in what you ask from your DP. While it's nice when your DP tells you they're going to be away and for how long, it's also not realistic to expect your DP to be able to forewarn you about every time they'll ever have to be away, and it's not fair to subject them to too much of your fear and anxiety.

If you and your DP are patient with each other, and if you are patient with yourself, you *can* get to the point where separation anxiety is more bearable and doesn't have to cause problems in your relationship. Your DP has to be committed to understanding a person with your disorder, and you have to be committed to not letting your disorder run your life, but you can learn to live with this.

Hello! I've just made this blog, and I'd like to find some mutuals!

•☽─── ⸸ ˖°˖⛧˖°˖ ⸸ ───☾•

Our collective names are Azzi or Ix, and our system name is Local Void. We're 31 (adults only, please), and have DPD, a complicated relationship to gender, and a system whose origin is traumagenic but where we are now splitting headmates on purpose!

We will also post about self-ship, alterhumanity, our in-system relationships, and maybe kink on this blog.

Petdepense - Pet DPD Archetype

ID: A 5-stripe flag with its stripes angled downward toward the bottom in a V formation. Coming down from the top-center is an arrow, with the top containing a downwards obtuse triangle with an icon inside. The icon is a pet collar with a bell, colored a dark mulberry pink. The arrow is a medium-dark mulberry pink, and the triangle inside is slightly lighter. The stripes, from top to bottom: Dark brown, dark pink, pink, brown, dark brown.

Depense are labels that describe one's relation to DPD and their dependent identity. It may be a gender experience, orientation experience, or any other identification: even its own category altogether.

Petdepense, or the pet dependent archetype, is a dependent identity related to pets, considering oneself petlike, and/or being seen as a pet. It may feel beloved, loyal, and inhuman / beastlike, but may also have other interpretations.

The modifier symbols are: 🐾🌷

The tulip as a symbol for DPD is representative of how gardens are dependent on their gardeners and often lovingly tended to in turn.

Depense coined by @epikulupu. Also tagging @cupidcoining and @revenant-coining.

Why do psychologists talk about personality disorders, only discussing how they affect other people and not how they affect the person with the disorder, and then blame us when we struggle to get treatment and be honest about our feelings? It is so hard to live in this world with a personality disorder.

The judgment from all sides hurts so much and finding people who understand without judgment is a breath of fresh air.
