I Don't Know What to Do!

Dear Mom,

It is so hard for me to live here without you! I don't know if I can live with my roommate much longer! I can never decide what to eat, what to wear, who to hang out with, where to go, how much money to spend, what time to get home, or even what time to go to sleep. And anytime I ask my roommate for help, she won't help me! She never gives me the answers I need. She just tells me to stop bothering her about little things and that I can do whatever I want now. But I don't know what I want! I've never had to make so many decisions before. What if I make the wrong ones? What if I don't do what's good for me? I even had to ask several people if I should write you a letter or email you. Since no one gave me a straight answer, I ended up doing both, but feel free to reply in whatever manner you'd like because I'm sure what you end up doing will be right. By the way, is the font ok?
So mom, can you PLEASE tell me what foods are good for me and what to avoid, how much money I should spend, and give me a curfew and bedtime? I promise I'll do exactly what you recommend, no excuses.

Love,
Dhvani

Dependent, I did this one too. You did a great job on stressing the fact that you need your mom all the time. Good blog :)

Your letter tells you're completely dependent. You need to talk to your mom about getting you over your problems. It's really well written. Good job!

Dependent;you did an awesome job if i were your roommate i would get annoyed too i recommend for you to not live with a roommate which will force you to make your own decisions.

Lol, that was really funny! That sounds like the opposite of every single normal rebellious teenager in America-you even told your mom to set a bedtime for you and you're in college! Lol!

Anyway, you did a great job of sounding just like someone with dependent disorder. I think the best way to cure oneself of this disorder is maybe to talk to a therapist and try to work out whatever issues are preventing that person from learning to enjoy life and be independent.

Dependent personality disorder. I don't think anyone like that could make it in the real world. They should deffinitly go through therapy and be forced to make their own decisions first with tiny decisons and then slowy working up to important ones.

Your post actually sounded like the letter from someone with dependent personality disorder. Other ones that I have read seemed to be trying to hard, but this one was actually good. The best treatment for this is intensive therapy, otherwise you'll be screwed for life.

I thought it was quite amusing. Seriously though, it was very good and you completely sounded like you were dependent on your mom. Great job!
