Just thought I'd check in, since I got diagnosed a few days ago. Thanks for your messages!
@ kaliope: you said you learned how to regulate your emotions better, how long have you had therapy?

So I had never heard of it before, but after several hours of testing the results came back positive for avoidant personality disorder (and very low self esteem). It's interesting to read that other people have those feelings to! But it still sucks and I just want these feelings and negative thoughts to go away, like, overnight! haha

Went to the psychiatrist as well, but he said I didn't need medication. So that's a good thing, but at the same time, it means it's not going to be easy to change my patterns...
