Personality Disorders Support Group
Personality disorders form a class of mental disorders that are characterized by long-lasting rigid patterns of thought and behaviour. Personality disorders are seen by the American Psychiatric Association as an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the culture of the individual who exhibits it.
Social situations are really really scary for me. I never go out anymore and I stopped talking to all my friends. And since this is Summer I don't even have associations with other kids. Iv'e become a complete hermit. This is really weird for me too because I used to go out every weekend with whole groups of people, and during summer I was gone everyday just hanging out with my friends. That was years ago though. It started slow and just progressed. Like I stopped going out as much, then I stopped going out completely, then I talked on the phone less, then I stopped calling people, then I stopped picking up when they called. I am not anti-social or anything, and I am not one of those people who wears all black and never smiles. I dress nice and for the most part I am happy. It is just when there are other people around I gat bad anxiety and panic attacks. Is is like this for anybody else??

In my twenties life was great. I went out all the time, even after my first son was born. Then like you said it just progressed to isolation. I don't think it helped moving from Florida to Michigan at that time. I isolated even further moving from all family and friends. Now I am just here. I still go to the grocery store and do things with my boys.Other than that I am on the pc or watching tv. It's like I don't want to try to make new friends because I don't want to go through the explanations again. So I come here.

I usually do OK in social situations, but ever since I moved back in with my mom I haven't made any friends. I just keep to myself and surf the internet looking for people to interact with. I found this place almost a week ago. I haven't really posted much 'cause I don't think I have anything important to say.

it feels like you were reading my mind. i recently went to a youth conference, and there were over 750 ppl there. i nearly died. i had never thought it was that bad before with me. one of the youth leaders that went along, i stuck to her the entire time. if i was alone i nearly had a heart attack. it was aweful. when there would be meetings and stuff with all 750 of us. i would start to shake really bad. and have these tremors. my muscles would hurt at the end of day. and now i dont text, i don't call, i don't email. i used to have the desire to go out and see a movie or something. i almost didn't go to my grad, cuz i just didn't feel like being with a group of ppl. i stay at home, and do nohting. that can't be a good sign.
