It's so hard to live.
Sometimes it seems so impossible...depression, anxiety and other...they are all related.

I can't explain how hard it is to live with social anxiety or avoidant personality disorder or whatever dissociative disorder I have... The name does not matter. The fear and the struggle is real.
Spending almost 12hours of my day just wishing I could run away and hide. Feeling too much vulnerable for others to see at any time. It's really painful to never feel safe or have some ground under my feet.

And the more I try to feel the less I can't. I don't want to live like this. I don't know how strong I am and how long will I take it. But it's been forever. I fear the day I won't take it anymore.

You are going through such a difficult time. I hope it gets better soon. I always underestimate my strength. Our anxiety does that to us. You are much stronger than you think.
Thanks for this!

Hi mulan, I can fully relate, you're not alone in your struggle believe me. I'm in the same boat. Depression, social anxiety, ptsd, it's awful. A daily struggle all right and from what I've learned, 2 in every 100 people have AvPD. I haven't been diagnosed AvPD as such, but I've looked into it enough and that's what I have. 2 in every 100 people - it's a lot of people but of course that doesn't make our lives any easier. Hang in there and don't lose hope please, or if you do lose hope fight to get the hope back. Try different things to improve your life as well, keep pushing your boundaries which I'm guessing you probably do, and if you ever need to chat, you can message me too if you like, I wont mind. It's about beating this beast into submission.

I so hear you. I spend days and months even where all I want to do is hide in bed with the covers over my head. I just ride it out. This time I know it’s fueled by grief at the loss a a family member. Other times it comes on for no particular reason.
