I just found this post and it is taking a bunch of courage to write this because I'm already dreading what anyone who reads it will think. Chris, I can't thank you enough for your long post. I felt like I was reading something I could have written. I have been dealing with such a jumble of symptoms and I feel like I may have narrowed them down with AvPD. But for those of you have been diagnosed and dealing with this for awhile-how do you cope? How do we "fix" this?
