Just a quick intro.

[Ocean Breeze]

Hello, everyone. I’m very happy to find this site. My MD has turned me into a bit of a hermit, so I need to interact with people who understand exactly what this is like.

I’m in my mid-40s, and I have avoidant personality disorder as well as the MD, and I’m starting to see how those two issues are linked.

I have an administrative job that pays the bills. I don’t want to risk losing my job or facing other repercussions, so I’m going by an anonymous name (no, I didn’t have hippie parents who named me “Ocean Breeze”). I know this makes me distant, but I’m going to stay as anonymous as possible on this site and the MD Yahoo Group.

Sitting by the ocean is the only time I can stop the barrage of voices and characters that comes with MD. Unfortunately, I don’t live close to the ocean. The MD is getting worse and worse, so last night I decided to reach out online and try to get ahead of this before I have a nervous breakdown and/or lose my job.

I look forward to getting to know this community. I’m feeling better reading all these posts online already and knowing I’m not alone.

Bye for now.

welcome. I have not remained anonymous so I hope it won't risk my job. I don't think anyone from my employer is on this forum, if they are they probably are facing the same issues I am. :)

You can get an ocean sound track DVD, I have one and it is very relaxing. I'm 46 by the way, glad to meet you.
