I have always been the type of person who thought you should be able to deal with your problems and move on. And those who could not work through there issues were just weak people.
I have turned into a weak person, or maybe I always was. After years of having turmoil in my life and knowing something was not right with the way I have managed my life and the decisions that I have made that effected where I am today, Which is nowhere. I have come out of denial to seek answers to what is wrong with me. After reading this article on PAPD it was like I was reading what I have been all about. ( This is extremely hard for me to admit ) I am reaching out by posting this to see if someone else out there who has dealt with PAPD and where they went for help. Where should I go next to confirm my self diagnosis of PAPD. Is there hope and can you overcome this debilating disease. I reside in Tampa, Florida. I look forward to any feedback on this post.

i too seem to suffer from this trait. after almost losing my 29 yr marriage i am finally realizing most of the problems were mine. very hard to swallow. i always thought of myself as confident and strong but am realizing how weak i am. they say recognizing the problem is half the battle so maybe there is hope for us.ps i also live in tampa, maybe something in the water?

I too thought I am reading my own details. After reading these posts I think this is a tendency of everyone some over indulge and create more pain for others though. i think a little psycotic mixed in and you have a primal instinct that will not let up until full submission. who would want to live with that? remembering to be kind and respectful is the key, but your partner has to back off to let you even out your emotions. This is really hard to accept when there is no cure it is only to bite your tongue in frustration when you have to live in double standards that are not fully recognized by all. Sometimes your partner just does not get it. I think it could be the acid rain!

Women definitely can be passive-aggressive. i think that in fact that women are more prone to passive aggression than men are because men are allowed to be a little more expressive about their displeasure but women typically are taught not to be. Does that make sense? Do you think that you are passive aggressive?

does taking phentermine make this disorder get worse for a patient?

I don't believe so. I hadn't heard anything about it but have you found a patient who has displayed worse passive aggression?
