I think I have DPD,
I have this one really close friend, and whenever she wasn't in school, I felt horrible, and I felt like I couldn't make the right choices with out her being around. In school, I cannot make my own desicions without making sure others agree with themI just can't build it up in me to try and tell them how I feel. Now tht she is begining to go away from me I feel empty inside, and I constantly keep thinking about what it would be like if she left. I don't take insults very well, even if people are just "playing". I have fears of being alone and not being able to live, bcuz of not having anyone else with me. :(

I'm sorry that you are suffering like this but I don't know what you are asking here.

To be honest, I think you need to take on a new activity or do a course on self esteem and confidence. If you feel more confident in yourself then you won't necessarily have to look to other people all the time.

I would suggest talking with your doctor and discussing things with him/her first. Then, if you both agree that you need it, he/she can refer you to a psych.
I do feel I should tell you tho that any psych worth their salt won't diagnose a 14 year old with a PD.

lack of confidence, and your a teenager with extreme emotions, dont put a label on it unless it goes on for years and years after you turn 18-20

You have nothing.

Nobody will ever diagnose a personality disorder before adulthood. The reason is that you're a young person easily swayed by others whose personality is not set in stone yet.

Instead of searching for tons of psychiatric reasons on webmd on random online quizzes, try to have more confidence.
