Hi....
I have avoidant personality disorder..... and other mental health challenges! I am looking for support ... maybe friendship ... just someone who knows what I am going through. I do some voluntary work but aside from that I have no friends.... I'm scared of people .... but would like some contact with others..... Do you know anything that might help? any self-help techniques? I want out of this ... comfortable ....painful ....cell.... any hope? Judith |

Hi,I'm Catherine... aka 90... I don't have AvPD but i do have other personality disorders- borderline and narcissistic.
If you know anything about personality disorders like I do than you would know that AvPD and the ones I have are so different it's not even funny. But I am sure I will look forward to hearing from you in up-coming posts. Although me and you are completely opposites (at least with our PD's) doesn't mean we can't be friends. -CAT

I'm in the process of getting myself some professional help, so I don't have an official diagnosis yet. But after reading the definition of AvPD here at psychcentral, the list of symptoms matched me almost perfectly...
So... Feel free to PM me, although I probably have more questions than answers and advices at the moment. |
This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
