Has anyone had any problems with this illness? I think I might be suffering from it. I have wondered for a long time because I cannot tolerate being around other people.

Avoidant Personality Disorder
-
have you been diagnosed by someone?
-
In all of your threads, the question of why you're not in therapy keeps coming up. You keep making believe you don't see it. Then you make another post, and the cycle repeats.Why are you not seeking professional help?
-
How much would professional help cost?I only want to live if I can be normal. I don't want someone saying "oh you've got all these problems, but never mind. Have a Kitkat". I want to be happy with who I am otherwise I will never be accepted.

How much would professional help cost?How much is your life worth? I don't know how you're able to function when you're worried about cancer 24/7. I don't recall where you live, so I don't know what resources are available. But you absolutely have to get a referral to a psychologist or psychiatrist.> I only want to live if I can be normal.Yet you are constantly in mortal fear of dying.> I don't want someone saying "oh you've got all these problems, but never mind. Have a Kitkat".A GP might say that, but someone trained in psychology would certainly not. You have an obsession that needs to be addressed. I may be rooted in your inability to accept your body...or not. I'm not an analyst.> I want to be happy with who I am otherwise I will never be accepted.As do we all. But if you don't take the initiative and seek help, I don't see things getting any better on their own any time soon. Why torture yourself?

I will make an appointment with my crappy GP some time before Christmas but I do not know what to say. If I say "refer me to a psychiatrist", he will ask why.My doctor laughs at me behind my back. I have been there so many times in 2004/2005 it is almost absurd. He will just tell me to take some rest or get more sleep.You can't just walk into a Doctor's surgery and say out of the blue "I've got: schizophrenia, avoidant personality disorder, paranoia, depression, insomnia, at least three forms of cancer, under-developed genitals, phimosis, Klinefelter Syndrome, bodily deformations and acne."

Deffinatly a hypochondriac. Dude, go see a shrink they are there to help.

And rickets.If your doctor hasn't already figured out that you need a referral, he's not on the ball. Do you need a referral by him? I'm not quite sure how you'd find a good psychologist or psychiatrist, unless you could get an informal referral by a doctor. It doesn't have to be your personal doctor. Barring that, just find someone in the phone book who lives in your area. If you like him or her, great. If not, then find someone else. But as it is, your life can't be very pleasant. Do something constructive. Surfing medical Web sites is not constructive.

acne is a given, everyone get it and you can see it.
aside from that the rest Id never think about again.
I can go surfing sites and find any number if deseases I certainly must have.
i do have strep throat, but that was diagnosed by a Dr. when I decided it was shit to run a fever of 104 and a fever of nothing less then 102 for 5 days straight.
Your not an expert and anyone can find some symptoms of anything in themselves. Ill give ya acne, ya say you got it you got it, the others get tested, see a doc and get tested, when they say you got nothing then you got nothing. relax for hell sake and livea life instead of cowering all day and night worried baout cancer and rickets and god only knows what.
Take the advice youv been offered, get away from the GP and head to someone of hte mental health profesion. -
I've been to the doctor so many times in the past year cause every couple of weeks I damage my wrists in some way. Since last November, I've broken my left, spraint both, dislocated my left and smacked them against goal posts, brick walls, concrete walls, floor tiles... I have so many scars on my wrists now its looks really bad. I get so many odd looks.
-
how come you have so many broken bones? i cant imagine you're that naturally clumsy.. lol
-
Ah, same here mate. It seems like im always banging myself up. When im 60 and trying to get life insurance, they will see how bad I've fucked myself up with sports and being a kid and such they will say, "Im sorry, but you are a dip shit, leave." About 20 bar fight scars and such15 or so Sport accidents (hockey mostly, soccer is from the bar fights haha) 34 broken bones (i know that one exactly cause my doc, a family friend by now, said it amazingly when i broke my foot.)And i have dislocated my left shouldar 10ish times.My right shoulder about 20My knees together, about 15 times.Im an accident waitng to happen.

Well this has all happened in the past year, before that I never had any injuries or been sick. Before Last year I hadn't seen a doctor in years! And the nearest time was just to get an MMR injection.Maz, I've no idea why it keeps happening. I keep getting into rough situations during sports and other times if I see something to do that looks like fun and seems dangerous, I'll do it. I seem to have either become a lot braver or a lot dumber. I seem to purposely get myself into situations where I can get hurt.
