I know that self diagnosis isn't a good thing but my AVPD is so severe that i cant help but clearly recognize it even though I have never been officially diagnosed. I actually have been diagnosed as having BPD 7 years ago when I was 20 years old and was in group psychotherepy and unable to function properly in it because of the immense anxiety I felt there, I couldn't communicate properly with the therepists or psyciatrists and i felt very messed up all the time during my time there and didn't feel that my situation was clear to anyone. My family doctor (who has known me my whole life) after I'd been diagnosed with BPD asked me if I really agreed that I had it and told me straightforwardly that he disagrees, I said I agreed because I didn't really know what BPD was at the time and figured that the professionals would know.
Once I looked in to BPD I didn't know how they came to the conclusion that I had it, I feel like because of how avoidant I was in therepy they may have had a hard time making a clear diagnosis and just chose to label me as borderline.
The thing is that I have avoided treatment and any further therepy feeling i'v been misdiagnosed so now i feel like i will never be understood properly to get approprate treatment, whoever I go to will see BPD in my file.
My life now having AVPD is tormenting and I desprity want help , I am failing badly at life and I am terrified of people and if I dont get help having AVPD is going to leave me completly tormented for the rest of my existance on this planet .
How do I get help? How do I when i'm labeled as having BPD , I have maby 1 attribute of that disorder but I have every attribute of AVPD. I feel like noone will even want to listen to me at all and force me to get treated for bpd if I want treatment.
