Hello, I think that i may have Histrionic Personality Disorder and I dont know what to do or if I should see a doctor. But I am tired of living the way I do. I lie, and cheat and feel so uncomfortable when confronted. I never stop talking about myself. I feel selfish and evil. I dont mean to do any of it it just happens, and it has for years. I am only 20 and I have slept with 22 people. Most of which I was in another relationship during. I seduce without even realizing it and sleep with people I am not attracted to because I like the attention. I hate who I am. Should I see a doctor? can I be helped if it is diagnosed?
His have gone through your post. Actually speaking, a number of personality traits, without gaining sufficient severity as to attract a diagnosis of a personality disorder, is commonly found in general population. Personality disorders are extreme manifestations of this, and is a lifetime diagnosis where the way a person behaves, thinks and sees the world interferes significantly with his or her sociocultural and occupational wellbeing. If you think your way of interacting with the world is proving maladaptive, do consult a psychiatrist. He / she will be the ideal person to diagnose such problems, in case you have one. If they are present, they require special attention, psychoeducation, psychotherapies and social interventions to help you do well in life. Hope this helps Chat Doctor.
