You seem to write in a very forthcoming way about what you think is going on with you. You sound genuine. I will try to honor your honesty by replying in a manner more forthcoming than I would ordinarily attempt in a new setting... Mainly I've wanted to reply to your post to affirm that the problem you have is most likely having a huge impact on the quality of your life. And you did not choose to be this way. And you can't easily just choose to be different.

Welcome to Psych Central! It was really hard for me to write that post (it took a few days before I was actually able to convince myself to post it) so thanks so much for your reply and for sharing your own expirence with problems similar to mine, it really means a lot.
It's comforting to know that someone else here went through something similar. Sorry it took me so long to reply, I've been busy with exams and Spring Break so I haven't been on the forum here.

I suspect that you may find that people have a hard time understanding that. Such has been my experience

Yep, I'm definitely experiencing that, especially now that I'm trying to be more open about all this with my family. They seem to be misinterpreting and not understanding a lot of what I'm going through. :/

I think, though, the professionals underestimate how painful this problem can be - and how it limits you and me.

I'm really worried about that actually. Now that I'm back at school I have to set up my appointment with the counselor. On their counseling service website it doesn't seem like they usually deal with problems like mine and I'm worried they are going to just brush off everything I tell them and show me to the door after telling me to suck it up.
