Here goes.
I'm 16 (barely). I'm a girl, not that that matters. I've been off school for about two years, because I developed Crohn's disease. Stress is a cause of Crohn's, and I think I might have SA, (or avoidant personality disorder or one of those) which would be an obvious cause of stress.
I looked on plenty of sites, and I have a lot of the symptoms, even obscure things like not being able to use a telephone. Which makes me feel really stupid, so I never told anyone about it.
I was so relieved when I found out I wasn't the only person with these problems, I felt like crying.
I told my mum I think I might have SA. I hope it didn't upset her.
Anyway, next time I go to see my Crohn's specialist (in less that a week), I'm going to ask her if I could have a psychological assessment.
Does anyone have any advice? I took a self-test and printed it out. Maybe that'll make the appointment shorter.
Thanks for reading. Or scrolling down to the end part here.
