Hi, everyone!
I'm new in the forum and I wanted to greet people.
I was diagnosed with AvPD seven years ago, but I always felt there was something missing in me.
I have been dealing with this disorder following different kids of therapy, taking pills for anxiety and depressions since I had 25, after a seven years of completely isolation that caused a great damage to my social skills.
I always had a thing clear, what I had it wasn't only a social phobia. I knew it was something deeper that it had no cure but I want to give you some kind of hope.
You can learn to live with this disorder if you put some effort.

Therapy made a different for me. Am I free of my tendencies to avoid? Of course, I'm not; nontheless I'm a quite functioning person.

Since now, I apologize myself for any mistakes or error in my posts. English is a marvellous language but it's not my native tongue.

Thank you!
