Avoidants unite

The last 2 Avoidant Groups did not happen due to the holidays. One Wednesday fell on Christmas and the other fell in New Years day. I have a few things on my mind this morning.

First, I am still working on a web site for Avoidants. It might be a few more weeks before its done. The person that was working on putting it up ditched me. It happens. I am not sure what all will be on the web site yet. I am open to ideas and suggestions. Or if there is someone out there that wants to take on the project and knows Wordpress, just let me know and we can talk about it.

Second, I am hoping to get to work this year on the book that I have been talking about for such a long time now. Its hard to find the time and sometimes motivation. That plus I am not sure who to go to for publishing. For those of you that do not know of this, I am working on a book for Avoidants, by an Avoidant and also by his spouse.

So the book will be from the perspective of an Avoidant (Me) and also from the perspective of someone living with an Avoidant (My wife). As far as I know, there is nothing out there like this. Most books that are out there for Avidants are long winded books written by professionals that have learned about Avidants from other books. They use long clinical words that no one but them knows what they mean.

I think most that write these books do so so they can make themselves sound smart and so they can have a book to put on the shelf in their office. Like the movie; "What About Bob".

I will try real hard to get this book written and published this year. Even if it is just an ebook.

Now that the holidays are done, we will resume the groups on Wednesdays. As usual, they are held at 7:-0 pm MT. Here is the link to the next one. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/needsmet/2014/01/09/avoidant-personality-group-depression-social-anxiety-etc

The success of the group will depend on interaction. If you want to tell your story, or you have a suggestions, or ideas, just let me know. Maybe you have something that you want to discuss. You can cal into the live group, you can email me, or come into our chat room.

Ya know, I recently heard a song on the radio. It talked about not listening to lies. The lie is that we are nothing, we are not worth anyone's time. We are alone and always will be. We are defective.

Well, I am here to tell you, and me, that we are none of these things. Its hard not to believe these things. But this is what we have to do. Don't believe the lie. believe the truth of what God says about you and me. We are worth it. We have value. We can have friends and even get married.

Is it hard. Sure it is. Its way harder for Avoidants than for normals. But that does not mean its impossible. I saw a movie once that was talking about women. The character said that the more resistance you got from a woman, the better the relationship could be once you got though.

I believe the same is true for you and me. The greater potential that you and I have, just means that Satan is going to work that much harder to prevent it from coming to pass. If we can just believe that we can overcome, we Avoidants can achieve great things in this world.

Lets all unite and find that purpose.











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. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1tyKSgW-IeaK851gvIjjthije0kOwg3tZxVqKXSC1xXg/viewform 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.
