My T cannot diagnose. I refuse to see a psychiatrist for anything other than medication review (and even those my T has to spend ages convincing me that I really should go). Therefore I will never know. And I am ok with that. AvPD is a lens that my T views me with, and it helps him work with me. The struggles I deal with on a daily basis are more in line here than just anxiety.

This is a support forum, not a judgement forum. I relate with AvPD so I post here. I have always been upfront about not having a diagnosis
