Tips to manage avoidant personality disorder, extreme anxiety, or dependent features?

[Nynia76]

I have the wonderful Cluster C disorders also. I do not suffer obsessive compulsive personality disorder but do have very slight OCD. I wish I could tell you some great advice sadly I can't. I have had no luck finding a medical professional with experience. If I had borderline or was Bipolar I would have help. I have lost control & disorders have consumed a little but I can relate to struggles & am here if you need someone who can relate.

I think I have all of these that have led to me to isolate myself completely. My only tip for managing it would be to stay busy with things you have to do such as online work, homework, working out (and hold yourself to it) etc. Anything that will help with your productivity. I wouldn't recommend activities like binge watching shows and such unless you're doing it with others to help decrease the loneliness avoidant personality disorder could bring.

Dependent personalities should be encouraged to create their own identity and independence from others.

This is just my personal opinion, not medical advice as a disclaimer.
