A Mind is a Terrible Thing when Wasted

Its been a while since I wrote on this blog. Life for me has been pretty busy lately. I know that is not really a good excuse, but its the best one I have.

I just got a response from someone that commented on one of my post. He just wanted to say thanks that someone writes about this disorder. Its hard to keep writing on this sometimes when I don't even know if anyone is listening.

It would be like a Pastor preaching in a Church with some sort of barrier that prevents him from seeing his audience, or if there is an audience at all.

I think it would be pretty hard on that Pastor. I guess it really should not matter. After all, even Jesus did not really have that much of an audience. Not compared to the size of audiences in this day and time.

So as my daughter says; "Its a hard time."

When I receive a comment or response saying thank you, it really means a lot. The other part of this is that maybe if all of us that have AVPd speak up, we can learn what this disorder is, what causes it, and how to deal with it better.

No offense meant to those with Cancer, or MS, or any of those other more obvious and physical deceases, but doesn't it seem that those disorders get all the publicity, notoriety, and money for research?

What about us? What about those of us that suffer silently and usually invisibly with mental disorders?

No one seems to pay us any mind (Pun Intended)

This is my log of my issues with living to Avoidant Personality Disorder. My hope is that in writing this, it will help myself and perhaps others that are also struggling with this disorder and others like it.



I have set up a survey on AvPD. Click here to take it. I am trying to get more information on this disorder so that we can find commonalities. Perhaps if we can learn more about this, we can figure out how to combat it and get better lives for us all.

  1. Thanks for keeping a blog. I don't have the courage to write about my struggles. I'm also ADHD and therefore I am too inconsistent. Now that I have found your blog I will keep checking back. Good luck with your journey.

    1. I know it has been a while since you left this reply. But I am going back through my blog and re-reading it. I am a Pastor now and have received a level of healing from this disorder. I am going to be running a group for Avoidants and others with similar afflictions.

      If you are interested, the group starts tomorrow at 7:00 pm MT.

  2. Thank you for putting your thoughts all OUT THERE ! Quite an accomplishment for someone who "avoids". Right there with you in most of what you write. Trying to cope with unkind comments from others at the moment....other people can be soul-crushers. Hard to pick up the pieces and the glue and try to mend it in time for the next person to come along and tear it up. Lord lead me to the rock that is higher than I ~ Psalm 61:2
