I am falling to pieces what should I do?

Question

I am 33 and falling to pieces.I am afraid of everything even my neighbors.I have avoidant personality disorder and borderline perosnality disorder and possible some type of paranoia what should I do?

Answer 1

oh wow, you poor thing. My last bf had avoidant personality and in the end it caused our relationship to end abruptly and left us both feeling hurt and upset.
There are forums where you can get to know other people with similar issues, that often helps. I know I joined two or three more as a means of learning why he had treated me as coldly as he did, and so that I could help him. I think if he had joined he would have found some support and realised he wasn't the only person in the world feeling as he did.
Have you talked about it with anyone? I know counselling would be hard for you, and that a lot of avoidants don't feel able to take that step.
There is a lot I could say, but I don't want to do it on here. if you wanted to contact me you can. I might not know exactly how you feel, but I have been close to someone who did.

Answer 2

if you havent already see a psychiatrist. Most of these "disorders" are just a phobia of the unknown. You are afraid of what you dont know. Gradually make yourself available to people and your neighbors, meaning start up conversations with them. it can be "hi" or "good morning" You may realize that people are not so "scary" as you think. Are you sure you have these disorders or is this just timidness? If so you are not alone. Start slow and take things one day at a time. Dont feel rushed.......

Answer 3

You didn't mention if you have a therapist or such? You give terms, so it sounds like you may?

If not you should see a psychiatrist. Medications can help and talking also. Start off by going to movies where you'll be around people going in the movie, then alone for 2 hours, then around them again when you go out, then alone again in your car. It's a start!

Answer 4

I am 33 too. Let it sink into your skull and psyche that these thoughs of yours are delusional. Your neighbors just want to live a peaceful existence just like you do. No one is out to get you. Trust me.

I, too, suffer from mental illness, and would suggest that you promptly seek a doctor or a psychiatrist who can prescribe medications that will help you get your social phobia under control. It is possible to get it under control - I have seen it controlled. It runs in my family.

Taking drugs to control chemical imbalances in the brain is nothing to be ashamed of. It is as necessary as taking medication for the flu.

Answer 5

My guess is you shouldn't be asking yahoo answers about this kind of thing. Go see a good psychiatrist. It can really help. Medication, therapy etc. Maybe you don't want to see a doc because it amkes you feel weak or not independent, but if you want your life to improve, I highly recommend it.

Answer 6

Try to calm down first of all. Second, have you seen a therapist? What does he/she suggest? Are you doing it? If you really feel "in trouble" call the police. They will be happy to help you and get you the medical help you need.

Answer 7

Well your avatar seems very social. We have all been falling to pieces since we've been born. Maybe you should start feeling comfortable with yourself if that is the problem, it is ok to not socialize.

Answer 8

Get to a doctor fast. You've got some major issues that are making you miserable.

Good luck!
