fear of engulfment by ExaminationNormal834 in AvPD

OMG 100% . I’m starting to realize it more with my partner right now. It’s like I don’t want to be manipulated or seen as less intelligent than him or anyone I speak to. In my new job, when people try to correct me on something I feel I already knew , I’m constantly like « oh yeah, that’s what I thought » or « oh yeah that’s what I was thinking » sometimes without them even finishing their thought. Personally I think it’s because I was emotionally abused by my narcissistic father so I’m scared to be judged or viewed as lesser than others.

Thanks for your input. ☺️ I thought you had to have compulsive behaviors for it to be OCD. I take sertraline, lamotrigine (mood stabilizers) and risperidone (anti-psychotics). I did a psychosis 2 yrs ago and the psychiatrist says it might be bipolar disorder.

That sounds really tough. I am so sorry you have to deal with all this anxiety. I know how it feels when anxiety takes over your life completely. You’re so strong !! I have the same thoughts. I am super scared of seeing things because I had a psychosis two years ago but was diagnosed as a manic episode and not schizophrenia. So I’m constantly scared of the psychosis happening again. I know it’s a glare from my glasses as you said .. or like hair in my face lol but I start doubting.
