Has anyone here conquered APD? If so, how long did it take? How much has your life improved? I have APD along with depression and I'm wondering what treatment methods might be used and how long it could take... Thanks!

I have Avoidant Personality Disorder. I am older then dirt as my friend Pat would say and I have only been diagnosed with this about 2 years ago.
I don't know if you have done some research on it but I did and this disorder is really tricky. I have for most part of my life kept every hurt and pain to myself. I would have die before asking for help wich I almost did a couple of time. Therapist have a bad time dealing with people with this disorder as this person will not easilly open up as they usually keep to themselves. Therapist will probably try to refer you to group therapy instead of a one on one because you need to share your feelings and this can help you to open up as you gradually will trust the people in the group. I am a very social person, very friendly and I have worked with people all my life but I do not share my hurt and pain. I go as a very happy person and nobody would never guess how much I am hurting inside. The sooner you will get therapy for this, the better. I hope I was a bit of help to you. Take good care ok. |
