Tulip DPD (Dependent Personality Disorder) flag ✨

PT: Tulip DPD (Dependent Personality Disorder) flag [Sparkle emoji]

[ID: two almost identical flags, the one on the right having a divided sun symbol representing the dependent personality disorder. The colors of the horizontal stripes are pastel/desaturated, and are in the following order, top to bottom: purple, peach pink, orange, yellow, and green /End ID]

DPD Symbol by @/revenant-coining, and also credits to @/dependencypersonality for the idea of the tulip being representative of DPD, very thoughtful! Those two together made something click in my brain.

I wanted to make my own take on the DPD flag, seeing as how much it affects my life. I wanted it to be full of meaning and hope for a better future while acknowledging it isn't all sunshine and rainbows.

Stripe Meanings:

Purple: Darkness when without the guidance of others, being lost in the dark.

Peach pink: Depended person, being dependant on them. (Can also represent the love one feels for them, though not necessarily)

Orange: Anxiety, Feeling anxious and stressed when forced to make own decisions

Yellow: Hope for a better tomorrow, new beginnings (rising sun rays)

Green: Growth, constantly trying to be more independent and growing as a person. (Recovery)

As you can see, the majority of colors (3 out of 5) are warm, and the orange is centered. This is because orange is associated with anxiety and cluster C pds are the "anxious" ones.

The colors are in negativity to positivity in meaning, atleast to me. Going from feeling lost and depending on someone, to anxiety but being a bit more independent, having hope, and finally being in recovery and healing,

I chose to use the theme of sunrise colored tulips for two reasons: firstly, the DPD symbol is a setting/rising sun. Secondly, tulips and flowers in general are seen as a "needy" because of how fragile and sensitive to various factors they are, so they depend on their gardeners to stay alive and healthy

I used common tulips colors, except white and the darkest purples to keep some harmony in the color pallette and to maintain the sunrise/sunset theme.

a. Moonflower 🌙

@gum1w0rms suggested moonflowers ! Moonflowers, otherwise known as tropical white morning-glories, or Ipomoea alba, are white flowers that only open up typically about once a year during the nighttime. The symbolism they came up with is that moonflowers are a representation of a person with BPD. That they open up under the moon (which the moon, in this, represents attention from your favourite person, love, help, confirmation, good days, etc!) and they close up when that attention, validation, and love, goes away ! Here is the post they made explaining their idea !

Moonflowers are also toxic flowers to the touch, but they do not cause death.

When the flower is closed, they look a bit like a spiral to me, which reminds me of spiralling out of control when you do not have support.

The colour white represents innocence, cleanliness, emptiness, and peace in western culture, while in eastern culture it can represent death, mourning, and the afterlife.

b. Belladonna / Deadly Nightshade 🟣

A friend of mine suggested deadly nightshade. Deadly nightshade, otherwise known as belladonna, or atropa bella-donna, is a poisonous purple flower with black berries with star like leaves. This flower that can kill you at higher doses and cause nervous system failure.

This flower reminds me of hurting those who hurt you back. It is only deadly if you ingest it. It could represent reacting to abandonment, and the trauma we struggled with to become this way. We were hurt, so we hurt back.

Despite the poison, the belladonna has a lot of medicinal purposes as well. During war time, it was used as a psychedelic and for pain management during surgery. Along with that it was used to create medication for the stomach and cramps.

The star like leaves around the fruit reminds me that people with BPD are still shining despite the struggles and traumas we have faced.

The colour purple represents wealth, prosperity, mental and spiritual awareness in Eastern cultures. In western cultures it represents royalty and creativity. It is considered a mysterious colour as well.

c. Bleeding Heart 💓

The bleeding heart flower, otherwise known as Dicentra, is a pink flower that’s head looks like a heart with a white tear drop. It represents deep pain, unrequited love, and rebirth.

My idea with this flower is that it is representative of the pain and sorrow we go through and how deeply we feel emotions.

The bleeding heart is toxic when digested, causing seizures and liver damage.

The colour pink is representative of celebration, hospitality, and trust in the east. In the west it symbolises calm and tenderness. It also is representative of marriage, femininity and love in both cultures.

d. [Other]

If you have any other ideas please don’t be afraid to add!

I will make another poll if this has enough reach!

Some other flower symbolism:

Tulips: Representative of DPD, besides the Sun Rise/Sun Set symbol.

Orchids: Representative of Intersex People.

Roses: Representative of Hypersexuality / Hyperrose.

Daffodils: Representative of NPD.

It would be nice to make all Personality Disorder flags have specific flowers representative to them, or concepts.

For instance,

Cluster A, B, and C all having flower symbols

Cluster A being shells, stones, or minerals of some kind, Cluster B being plants and flowers, Cluster C being weather related.

What do you think?
