Hi. So instead of being with my family in the other room I'm here by myself. (probably thanx to avpd.) Atleast I think it's avpd. After looking up depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder etc..and taking "those" tests, I realized avpd fits me most. I want to get better but I don't know what the next step is exactly. Should I look for a psychiatrist , psychotherapist, mental health institution?
Ps. If there was a similar topic already posted, I'm sorry but I can only use my phone to browse so it's hard to look thru all of them. |

You might start with a psychotherapist or counselor. Then they could give you pointers on what the next step would be, if they agreed with your assessment.

Yeah, a psychotherapist.
The sooner you can go, the better. Say welcome and I liked your nickname. It's the name of my favorite song by Nirvana. __________________ Social Anxiety and Depression. Cluster C traits.

Hello manwhosoldtheworld
I would say therapy would be a good first step. To see where you stand and get some perspective. Welcome

I also used to spend a lot of time on my own, in my room. Are you doing some kind of studies? __________________ Social Anxiety and Depression. Cluster C traits. Trying to improve my English.

I understand you, but I encourage you to do it, to go to study. I'm sure therapy is going to help you to accomplish this task.
You will find difficulties and you will feel anxiety in many ocassions but I would bet that with the therapist's help is going to be easier. I first went to therapy in my first year of work. I found myself isolated in some moments and with many anxiety but he helped me to be moré confident and open up people. __________________ Social Anxiety and Depression. Cluster C traits.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
