Hi all I'm fairly new here and belong to a group on yahoo called http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Schizoid - it's great and I was wondering how many here are Schizoid Personality Disorder? If so, would you please share your experience on having this PD. I've struggled w/it most of my life since childhood. It's difficult at times to live in an external world and have such a rich interior and have most conversations begin and end "inside". Sometimes I want to try to be more 'here' instead of dissociated, but my attempts are always thwarted by either (real or not) perceived hindrances and nightmares. From time to time I think it'd be great to live beyond the glass, instead of feeling like I'm always overly protected by my defense mechanisms. So far I wrote down a number but haven't called for counseling yet - but will most likely soon. As for now I'm getting over allergies and just getting strong again physically. Been feeling outta touch as I haven't connected w/anyone in some time and staying home due to sickness doesn't help much. But I'm here and writing today........ please share if you will, I'd love to hear from you.
