Or some thing else. Best to let the doc figure that out for u. Meanwhile enjoy the forum, lot of good people here.

When I said I "think" I have APD, I really meant I'm pretty much certain. The symptoms of it describe almost perfectly the numerous problems I have, so I'm not really asking for advice on whether I have it or not.
I know going to see a professional would be the most sensible thing to do but that's easier said than done when just going out in public makes me feel terrible anxiety. I think I need help just dealing with the anxiety first and then maybe I'll feel more able to go and see a doctor or therapist about it.
