I've been doing some research on my many conditions and avoidance fell under PTSD and anxiety, which both I have. I honestly thought I cancelled appointments a lot and ignored calls out of laziness until I read about this. For years I've been known to ditch T appointments just so I wouldn't have to fess up to my issues. I'm having a problem with this with my current T too now.

Another example is how when I was able to work, I'd avoid those in the office that triggered my attacks. If I saw that a-hole boss coming around the corner, I'd pretend to be busy so I wouldn't have to acknowledge them. I also have PTSD related to authority figures so it does make sense.

And today I told my aunt I was sick so I wouldn't have to go there for xmas. I usually only bail on that side of the family when I'm particularly doing bad. Which I am lately.

Anyone else do this kind of behavior?
