Is it just mine or this is typical for the diagnosis and maybe personality disorders in general?
My OCPD relatives seem not to be able to self-regulate without all this.
I'm asking this question here, because such questions are expectedly banned in the OCPD group. The question is to diagnosed OCPDers and people who are close to such ones.
My OCPDer tends to describe completely normal and tolerant people as "abusive" and "passive aggressive" and to be triggered by incredibly normal things and discussions. Do you think that this is only projection or there's something more going on in their minds?
Just sharing my thoughts that life would be much better for both OCPDers and their "loved ones" if there was at least as much awareness of this disorder as there is of narcissism. The term "OCPD abuse" should be introduced as well, since it has its unique nuances that can't be easily explained and even initially understood. A new YouTube/social media "psychology star" (of the rank of dr Ramani, Todd Grande or Sam Vaknin) with a channel dedicated mainly to OCPD + its effects on loved ones would be a huge milestone in this endeavor.
Any changes and apologies ever? Or exactly the opposite + playing a victim + a smear campaign behind your back?
Do you know if there is a scannable neurological difference in their brains? When they are going through OCPD episodes, they seem to be wired differently and see the reality differently. It's scary.
Since the LovedbyOCPD was closed, I will ask this question here, hoping to see answers from people who are suffering from OCPD or their loved ones. I'm struggling to put up with such behaviors that start to feel like verbal abuse and aggression.
I'm trying to go into the shoes of my sibling with PD and understand how she views and perceives neurotypical people. She often reacts surprisingly and disproportionately to completely normal people, behaviors, emotions and situations and it seems that she misperceives what happens and people's intentions. I'm curious do you see the neurotypicals as weird or wrong in a certain way?
(My sibling has OCPD and histrionic tendencies)
My sibling has OCPD for sure, she is even officially diagnosed. However, she displays all listed symptoms of Histrionic Personality Disorder as well. The result is a very toxic mix of seemingly incompatible toxic (and somewhat abusive) traits that can provoke cognitive dissonance in the people close to her. Is there any real medication and fixing of all this or I must cut her off once and for all?
I'm wondering if it is acceptable in Zurich to directly ask your neighbours if they need help with certain things against a humble sum of money. I mean things like cooking for them, cleaning their houses or windows, taking very good photos (without being a professional) and making creative photo sessions of them, some creative stuff, etc...
