BP2.

My T and I also both think AvPD.

I have a lot of anxiety which would be related to the bp2 and AvPD.

Trauma (emotional and physical - but the physical head knocks are NOT abusive in nature!)

I also have, according to people who know me well, little traits of OCD and ADHD. hahahaha. I need things to be a certain way and if I have a routine set up DO NOT MESS with it. Those are by far just things I consider "quirks".

To me, the diagnosis itself doesn't matter at all. It's just nice to know that I fit in somewhere and being able to sort of trace back my thought patterns and behaviours.. and to know that I'm not just bonkers that it's a common enough thing for there to be diagnoses about it.

And knowing that my T thinks I've got AvPD was comforting - because it really is how I think and feel but it's not really noticeable in my behaviours. So it was nice to have some confirmation that I'm not just imagining it.
