(((( Missmoodyblues)))) I am sorry you are terrified. Whatever it is, extreme shyness, social phobia or AvPD, it can be helped. you can get help for it with the right kind of therapy. I think that some forms of behavioral therapy is what is recommended. But I am not totally sure. Since I accepted my dx I have not had the money to get help.

If you can go to the school conseller thats great. Any first step is a good step. Just know that this can be helped. There are yahoo group message boards for avoidant people. I belong to two of them. Some of the people have been activly working on it for years. So they have suggestions of what works. And also they express their pain. If you can do it, please go to the school counseller or someone to begin getting help. So you can progress toward managing or healing whatever it is.
