ive spent a pleasnat evening with 2 windows on my puter, nmp forum on one and avpd chatroom on other

spent ages talking to a rather nice young man from india about our woes lol

told him bout nmp but he doesnt get anx

its no way as good as nmp but its good to talk to ppl who have the same difficulties and not feel embarased asking daft questions

pass them over to u next week lol

Hi Milly, i have'nt had chance to speak to my cousin (the psychiatric nurse) yet but my mates sis has this APD. My mate thinks that it's just another 'label'. I think that in a way she is right! Apparantly, it's to do with feeling inferior and unworthy. Is'nt this how we all feel when we're suffering with anxiety and depression. Have you tried Cognitive behaviour therapy? (you probably have) I think that this could be good because it's all about how we can change negative thoughts into positive and thinking differently. I have just bought a book from amazon 'cognitive behaviour therapy for dummies' which i am going to start reading after the weekend.

You always sound so lovely in your posts and always seem to really want to help us all. Here's a big squeeze to make you feel squidgy :bighug1:

[milly jones]

ty hun,

i spoke to my psychologist about it

the diagnosis criteria fit me exactly

i have googled also and all the info is the same

poohs help site is good

ive been like this for some time and ive had loads of therapy but they are only finally finding out

its the psychosis that worries me more atm

thanks hunny

Hi Milly
Thank you so much for that info via pm. I tried twice to reply but after typing lengthy replies, it wouldn't send and said page cant be displayed! grrrrr but its been an eye opener reading that stuff you sent. And certainly gave me food for thought! Quite a few of the points mentioned made sense.
And after reading this thread it seems you like to help people too. I post on an agony aunt web site because i love to help people out. Its much easier on line isn't it.
Thanks again xxxxxx

[milly jones]

hey np thats what nmp is about

i can now talk to folk face to face after nmp has helped me, if someone safe is with me watching what i say

i find typing so much easier as u can read back and edit, something u cant do with speech, so its safer

ty for ur pms too

mill xx

[popsy]

Mills, i'll have a little search too, between us lot we'll have so much information for you we'll be able to write a book LOL..... hang on in there i'll get back to you - hey it gives me something to do!!!
