Hey, thanks for sharing!
I was also diagnosed as AvPD after being diagnosed as having generalized anxiety, being depressive, ADHD and Borderline Personality Disorder..
I haven't been hospitalized or anything.. I kind of tried to ignore it considering I was being judged endlessly by my own family so of course I lived all my anxiety attacks "cold turkey" which made it worst and traumatizing! Its a relief, now I feel I can do much more, lots of stuff to learn and work to do but still.. Things are going well overall
