I ask this question because my Mom for example when I was talking about the medicine Im taking because of these problems..said.."they pass out medication for normal feelings" (to circumstances, life changes etc.) I thought to myself if this is what it feels like to be normal, shoot me now lol.
There is nothing normal about this. She has said in the past when I have mentioned certain symptoms..well one time I felt that way or blah blah but just didnt take it seriously or let it go. Well when you truly have Social Phobia/AvPD...you can't just let it go..
It is something that you live day in and day out..yeah some days are better then others but you constantly feel like your struggling within.
I pose another question to whoever is reading this,
Is anyone lucky enough to have someone that tries to understand this problem and be there for you? I have one person I can talk to in my life who I feel has a mood disorder, he understands some of it because hes has similiar problems. My fiance' I feel saddened that he can't possibly understand my problems..and I really dont like bringing it up to him because it seems like he doesnt like to talk about such things..its very hard for him to understand because he's extemely extraverted and loves people around and it able to chat endlessly. We are opposites. Which poses another question, is anyone dating someone who is opposite them and can it really work?
