I hate seeing people self diagnosing mental health problems, don't often see people self diagnosing AvPD as much as you see people self diagnosing stuff like bipolar and BPD but it all frustrates me.

That said, apart from BPD, Bipolar, Depression and Anxiety, it is actually really hard to get assessed and diagnosed in the UK.. We don't need a diagnosis for insurance purposes and so proffessionals refuse to 'label' people as they thing it is not beneficial. I think its a load of rubbish, a label doesn't define someone but it can help them get the help they need. I was diagnosed as having both Schizoid and Avoidant Personality Disorders which came as a shock to me at the time and definitely wasn't self diagnosed.
