Hey guys,
Just want to say hi! Im usually loitering about the www.avoidantpersonality.com chatroom and one of the guys there mentioned this site so i thought id check it out.
Im not professionally diagnosed but, like alot of the people ive talked to who have avpd, i stumbled upon it. Before it, i used to shrug my anxieties under the rug as depression and/or laziness. I was never one for diagnoses and such, i believe we all have some sort of personality disorder or other and i didnt really care to know what or which i had. But coming by it has seemed to clear up some of the fog a great deal, answering for alot of confusion ive had about myself. Not to plug, but the avpd chatroom has been a great way for me to interact with people who are dealing with similar things. I certainly feel alot less alone in this and less isolated now that ive become a bit more aquainted with hrm.. "my kind" lol.
After much tottering around it im finally going to see a therapist for the first time tomorrow. I mean, i have the option, why not right ? For all i know my diagnosis isn't even going to be avpd at all, but it should be interesting to see what "category" they happen to put me under at very least. Im feeling a little bit defiant and apprehensive about it but i know its something i have to do, i have to at least give it a chance eh ?
Hopefully get to talking with some of you soon,
Take care!
