Okay, I have yet to be diagnosed and understand that self-diagnosis is not good generally, but the description of APD is about as close as I've seen to describing me. Like every part, not just a few but all of it. Anyway, I plan on talking to my doctor but obviously that is easier said than done. One of my problems involves drugs they might give me. I have been diagnosed with depression and I liked the depression given the drugs as an alternative. People say they helped me but I was not okay, things were very surreal. I stopped taking them and things became me again. I have been a heroin addict years back, successfully long over it and proud, but since then I have issues with taking a drug everyday to be a "normal" person. I just don't want to do it.

So my question is what would they likely give me for this? I have recently had life push me to accept I likely have APD but if not sonething else worthy of therapy. Its not going to be easy but my current coping methods are not enough to handle things. I'd like to know all i can before going to talk to anyone. Thats just my style. So if anyone knows what they would be given to someone with no history of therapy for this i really appreciate it. Or if it might be one of a few different ones that works too. Ive read about it but they usually seem to have a preference for what to try first. Thanks.
