Just wondering if anybody else here had AVPD?
Im going to a therapist but they dont do CBT and i read thats the most effective treatment for this. I cant afford one of the good psychologists for this so i keep going to see who im seeing but it feels like a waste of time.
Just feel kinda beat down by all of this. I think im going to just have to bite the bullet and save up for a couple years and go see a good therapist. I really need to get cured. This is killing me living this way. Ill be turning forty april 6th and the last time i really felt "normal" i was in highschool. I was always socially anxious but i wasnt a total hermit. Just makes me really sad thinking i could be this way from now on when theirs legitimate treatments out there for this but i cant afford them. I think the worst part about mental illness is the scars. If you have a physical illness people can see how much youre hurting but with this they cant see how much you hurt or how deep it goes.
I hope i overcome this one day. Ive never really known what its like to just be myself as crazy as that sounds. At least not around other people and besides the isolation. Thats the loneliest thing of all.
