I decided today to dump the old font and background and go with something different.
I received a comment that someone did not like what I had. They said it was just too fancy and they had trouble reading it.
Even my wife finally admitted that she didnt like it as it was hard to read.
So since I write my blog in the hopes that it will not only help me, but others, I caved and changed it.
Eventually, I want to write a book about Avoidants from the perceptive of someone that actually is an Avoidant.
I also want to get my wife to write a portion of the book as well. There are a lot of people out there that are trying to live with an Avoidant, but are finding it very difficult.
Maybe if I can write a book with a chapter or so devoted to her perspective as well, it would help those people figure out how to cope with living with an Avoidant.
I am also going to develop a web site just for Avoidants. I have found a few out there. But most are way out of date, or very poorly written and maintained, if its maintained at all.
Then there are those web sites and books that have been written by shrinks and other professionals. These are good, but they are just book learning and from experience in dealing with Avoidants.
There is a world of difference actually being an Avoidant and living as one and just learning about Avoidants in a book.
I have received quite a few emails from people that are Avoidants. They tell me their story and ask if I can be any help. I do the best I can. My wife sometime will respond as well.
Since she lives with an Avoidant, she has a unique perspective that I dont have and will never have. We have been married, so far, for 10 years. We have our ups and downs, but we have managed to not only survive, but thrive.
If you are an Avoidant, live with an Avoidant, or know someone that is an Avoidant, I would love to hear your story. You can email me anytime. I will do my best to listen, not be judgmental, and help if I can.
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.
If you are an Avoidant, live with an Avoidant, or know someone that is an Avoidant, I would love to hear your story. You can email me anytime. I will do my best to listen, not be judgmental, and help if I can

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