Yes "as needed' is exactly what I'm hoping for. Something to cushion things when my normal coping mechanisms are overstretched.
Oh, I wrote in my other post about 'attachment disorder' but it doesn't make much sense to me as to my understanding it is a diagnosis of childhood, not adulthood. When I read the report again it seems to be a retrospective diagnosis. It would make a lot of sense given the circumstances in which I grew up and the symptoms I exhibited as a child.
I guess many distrusting children become distrusting adults. While I wouldn't say I am incapable of attaching to and trusting people it takes a lot of time and it goes against my intuition. I still think the social phobia/avoidant traits are the strongest in my case. Or at least, they are the ones that limit me the most.
