Well, I have a myriad of different disorders myself...I score Extremely high on the PPD. I'm higy suspicious of everyone...even those who I think AREN'T lying to me...I believe are lying to me. Sadly, I don't have any advice to give you on any of these....I'm sure that if you talk to your doctor they might have some ideas. They might know of some books that you could always check out and read. :)

Everything with time...nobody really knows WHY they have disorders...they just have them.

I'm going to warn you to be careful where you get your research. The least RELIABLE source would be Wikipedia. Do NOT get your knowledge, research or advice from there. ANYONE can put anything they want on there and call it factual.

I don't know if you've ever heard of the book The New Codependency....but that might be helpful for you if you have Dependent Personality Disorder. I mean, technically that means you're pretty Codependent...right?? At least, that's what I think that means...I could be wrong. But I thought that's what it was. That book might help you. :)

I would also like to inform you that all of these "disorders" can actually be ONE or TWO disorders masked as many. For instance, attachment and dependency AND paranoia all fall under Borderline Personality. At least, it has all of those characteristics. You COULD always read a book on that instead...it would have advice for all of those situations. :) Like Survival Guide for Borderline Personality Disorder. Just some ideas. :)
