Yes, I understand. I also come down into depressions when I feel I can't cope with things due to my avoidance or at least, due to my insecurities.
Were you diagnosed with the disorder or traits? I was diagnosed with traits, only that to be honest, I see myself reflected in each of the criteria points in the diagnoses. Since I wrote this thread, I was living changes. I'm into the spiritual path and a new therapist who made me believe than my pattern of thoughts can be change.
