[miguy]

hey everyone, i'm 29.

last week i saw a specialist and he said you have avpd and severe depression....i guess i always new things were never right with me and lots of difficulties all my life....but now i know why.

so, any idea if therapist will be able to help me with all my problems like everything i missed out on, social skills, organizational skills, goals, motivation, interests for life in life and everything in between?...i'm going for my 1st therapy session in few weeks and i have no idea what to expect...can anyone fill me in?

thanks to all...

Hi miguy,

I can't tell you what to expect because I am in a similar situation like yourself. I am 27 but haven't even seen a specialist about my problems. I'd be interested to hear how your sessions go and if it's helping you. Taking that first step is very hard, I am not quite there yet. Well done.
