Hi everyone I'm new here. Firstly i want to say this is the first time I've registered on a forum for help. To cut the story short - I've been seeing a psychologist for just over a year and it doesn't seem to be helping me long term as I've become dependent on my therapist. She did a thorough test with me which scored high for Avoidant Dependent Personality Disorder. I was sent to a psychiatrist to try to get a diagnosis but I completely ruined it!
Because of the Avoidant part of me, I put Walls (barriers) up and portray myself to be "normal" as in looking like there's nothing wrong. When she asked me what my problems were I couldn't tell her anything. What I'm trying to ask is how I can show the psychiatrist how I really am and what I struggle with as I need sone form of diagnosis so I can understand myself more.
I don't know why I think the way I do or feel the way I do. I'm often confused and don't understand the thoughts behind my feelings. Any help would be extremely useful as I had a break down last July and I'm afraid it's going to happen again if I can't find the help I need.
Thanks for reading,
