The one I have on my signature but eliciting the word “possibly”.
It was a whole process. I’m not an expert, neither smart enough to self-diagnosed, to be honest.
There were two people here, one of them, a personal friend, who pointed me out that possibility. Of course, they weren’t diagnosing me but it was a help I’m not gonna forget. I was diagnosed many years ago with avoidant personality disorder and strong traits of perfectionism. I swear you that I didn’t know anything about it. When I wondered myself what could be going wrong with me, as far as I got to think was some kind of social phobia and of course, depression.
I guess you know how easy is for a person with borderline personality disorder to feel reflected in any label given to them. So, for years I believed myself what I was told I was but I had some doubts when I compared myself with people with the same disorder than me. The only explanation I found at that moment was, maybe it’s bc I’m lucky and have a big support around me. Then, I received a push by the two people I mentioned and who appreciated me.
Anyway, I’m gonna talk with my psych today. I have the appointment this afternoon and I’m gonna check with him.
I know it can help me.
