Hey.

We have our own forum that you can use to communicate with other people who have AvPD here(link) if you’d like. As for other AvPD blogs, there are suggestion blogs you can find in the #actuallyavoidant tag. Not sure if there are other community blogs. The AvPD Reddit board is probably your best bet for a community environment. Or AvPD sub forums on mental illness forums like PsychBoards. 

For any kind of mental illness blog, I think ShitBorderlinesDo is a good place to try for BPD. That blog reaches a lot of people but it’s not always a positive environment so keep that in mind. Any of our followers want to recommend other MI community blogs?

That’s amazing! I’m happy for you! That’s a huge statistic. Nothing feels better than all of your hard work paying off. I know this ask is getting posted a little later than you sent it, but when I first read it, I immediately couldn’t help but smiling, too. I can feel how happy you are just from this message.

Thank you for sending this to us!

Hey. 

(2/2) health, so I get cuddles without having to admit I need them. But if it actually happened I’d probably just hide in my room and deal with it on my own. Is that avoidant thinking or just fear of intimacy/vulnerability, and what’s the difference?

Hey there.

As far as I am aware, that is not an AvPD trait. It sounds like it’s a specific way that your brain has developed to try to overcome the fear that comes with needing to ask for intimacy from others. It could be a result of any number of mental illnesses or life experiences.

In any case, it is not how a mentally healthy person would go about relating to others, so I would recommend speaking to a professional who might be more equipped to help you work out what’s going on here, and how to change how you relate to others.

Hello! The dating abuse masterlist we recently reblogged was actually made by another blog called loveisrespect (if I remember correctly). They seem to be a blog specifically about dating but if we see any posts about family abuse, we’ll post them!

Hi.

We current do not have any recommended blogs, however this ask does make me want to create a recommendation page. So, I will begin looking into that. 

In the meantime, can some of our followers recommend any blogs? Also, if you would like your blog recommended, please send us an Ask or Submission of your blog URL so we can check it out.
