I think the reason i trip over myself explaining the backstory, circumstances and context before sayin what we wanted to say... id because i was called a liar for so long I just want to show all the evidence up front so you wont too @actuallyadhd

Day started with a panic attack and my abrupt departure from a breakfast meeting. Thankfully the person leading it was understanding when I explained later.

Three years of #ptsd from surviving a gang initiation attack in my (now former) supposedly safe suburban neighborhood.

As soon as the adrenaline and cortisol subsides, i feel so completely demoralized and wonder if this will ever end and i have to grieve the person i used to be. Every single time this happenss.

You should respect someone's #boundaries even if you think you're being nice.

Gifts make me anxious and panicky at first, as growing up they were used to manipulate me.

I have been seeing someone and she has been paying for dates as I'm broke.

She noticed my screen was cracked, and got me a phone, which I turned down, and she kept insisting I take it until I panicked and had to leave.

She's been texting me apologizing, and I don't know what to say as I'm embarrassed.

leftist spaces need to have a serious reckoning with their ableism—especially toward cluster b disorders.
it’s not just individual ignorance. it’s a pattern.

you say you're trauma-informed, but pathologize anyone with intense emotions or attachment wounds. you say “abolish the carceral state,” but you socially exile people with bpd or npd like it's justice. you preach “community care,” but treat certain neurodivergent people as disposable.

this isn’t healing. it’s scapegoating.
and it mirrors the same systems we claim to fight.

if you're serious about solidarity, you need to unlearn the reflex to demonize people just because their symptoms look messy, threatening, or unfamiliar. start interrogating where your language comes from—why does “narcissist” live in your insult toolkit? why is “toxic” your go-to label when someone is dysregulated or in pain?

stop centering comfort over care. real community means making space for people who challenge your assumptions—not just the ones who fit neatly into your idea of “safe.”

cluster b folks aren’t the enemy. we are already in your spaces. we’ve just learned to mask, hide, shrink. because we know what happens if we don’t.

you want to build something liberatory? include us.
because if your vision for justice doesn't include cluster b folks, it’s just another hierarchy dressed in radical clothes. - Anarchist Jew (on Facebook)

How can killing and eating animals be 'natural' when #slaughterhouse workers experience #PTSD? (please think about this)

"Abattoir work is linked to multiple mental health problems - 1 researcher uses the term "Perpetrator-Induced Traumatic Syndrome" to refer to symptoms of PTSD suffered by slaughterhouse workers. I personally suffered from depression, a condition exacerbated by the long hours, the relentless work, being surrounded by death. I started feeling suicidal."

#mentalhealth treatment in the #usa is absolutely horrifying.

I had an easier time in #jail than some behavioral #health treatment centers.

One in #losangeles I was assaulted randomly FOUR times in two weeks by absolute lunatics who should have been separated from people dealing with stuff like #ptsd and suicidal ideation like me, but weren't.

I wasn't randomly assaulted a single time in jail for six months. The jail guards were nicer than the hospital staff, too.
