Hmm. Should apparently lifelong dysthymia be considered a personality disorder?
The word “Avoidance” is so easy to recognise and identity with.
I think confuses allot of people when really they are experiencing the effects of Depression.
Sadness will make you withdraw with all associated feelings of avoiding
