time0,

this is one of the best posts we've read by you over the time we've known you. you show more self awareness in this post than many of your other posts combined. we know it has taken many years to even be able to write about this online in front of other people. congrats on that progress.

we're very proud to read your understanding of APD and how a lot of the perceptions need to be challenged as they often are distortions.

you've been brave in how you've been facing this. it cannot be easy to do without the help of professionals. we hope that you'll find a way to seek more help when you're ready and able.

you, along with anyone else suffering from APD can learn ways of making life easier and not quite so painful.

we're lucky to be able to read threads like this that have ppl contributing over the course of a year or more to help us see how their perceptions have grown and changed or become more solidified in the degree of distortion.

nothing like facing reality to face reality, eh?
