Hi sickofshadowz,
I came across this website for you on avoidant personality disorder, that has a chatroom available on it if your interested. I didn't actually go into the chatroom myself cause i didn't want to register so i can't tell you anything about it.

open-mind.org/SP/Articles/1c.htm

Alright then-good luck.

I have been diagnosed with agoraphobia -- last year. I haven't had it long. I have had social phobia for a long time. I know the definition is a fear of wide open spaces but it's people and things I'm scared of. And by things I mean everything, I'm phobic of gas pumps and all sorts. But I think it all stems from me being scared of people. But I avoid everything.

At my worst I was housebound - for the most part. And by that I mean I was housebound aside from quick drives to get alcohol or whatever drugs I could get my hands on. If it weren't for my addiction I would have never left. I also stocked up when I bought cigarettes and alcohol and drugs etc. or whenever possible sent someone else to get them. So that there was less of a chance I would have to leave as soon for them again. I would plan my purchases this way so I could garauntee myself that I wouldn't have to leave the house again for another 2 weeks and I would feel relieved at most.
Sorry this got to be so long but perhaps I was mis-diagnosed? At the time they diagnosed me I was coming off drugs and very much insane and probably very vague as to what was going on with me.
