I’m almost certain I’ve done many small avoidant behaviours without noticing. The bathroom is a big issue for me

I completely agree that over diagnosing any disorder usually does little but harm

Sometimes I feel that I would be doing “better” if I had continued to avoid, deny
etc my symptoms and pain and never consulted a doctor

I first had panic attacks when reading aloud in class (that was ignored .. I was too ? Shamed etc to try to talk to anyone about this ..)
