Hi, I am new to this site and I have been treated for this disorder for 6 months in therapy. I also have borderline behaviours but not the disorder. I have just begun an anti-depressant med because my therapy doesn't seem to be working. I do not feel that I have made any progress in that time, and my therapist is getting frustrated with me as he thinks I am chosing to not to change or work with him. He uses Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, as his main method. I like my therapist and dont want to change. I am wondering if anyone else has had similar problems and if anyone here with avoidant personality disorder has been able to overcome this illness and if so how. thanks
