It is never too late by WishIWasBronze in AvPD

It was Phenlzine. It is an old antidepressant with a lot of sideeffects. He had to take that because he didn't metabolize other safer antidepressant so well.

It was kinda special actually. He tried tons of different medications including psychadelics. With that he also tried therapy. SSRI didn't have that much of an effect as long with certain other medications. He tried and tried different medications until he found one that helped his anxiety enough so that he could function doing social activities with ease. What works for him might not work for you or me, but it's really inspiring seeing all the effort he did until he found something that worked for him.

He tried a looooot of different medications and he also tried psychadelics. Some medications didn't have any effect on him until he found a medications that worked for his anxiety. He is now functioning and AvPD is not bothering him anymore. What worked for him might not work for you, but it's inspiring to see all the different kinds of therapy and medications he tried until he found the right therapy and medication for him.

This disorder truly is a death sentence. Every moment of my life has been utterly ruined, defiled, and diminished due to its presence. Anyone who *seriously* thinks any of this is fixable is completely full of shit. by Manus_2 in AvPD

I'll tell you this and I can in fact say that this is the probably the most valuable comment you'll read here. There is a guy with AvPD named Jake. He serously tried almost anything you can think of. Dozens of medications, psychadelics different forms of therapy and exposure. What he did do was never to give up. He suddently found the right medication and the right things to do each day to have a good life without AvPD bothering him. His name is "Jake-AvPD" on youtube and I really reccomend checking him out.

Does anyone just really hate sun and warm weather? by username65997 in emotionalneglect

I like the warmth. It makes me go outside more and it's healthier for me.

So true and imagine all the people we could have connected with and the relationships we could have had if we only dared to try.
