Hi, I’m Andrea 🌱

I write from the intersection of memory, reading, neurodivergence, and what often feels like emotional overflow. I’m interested in the crossroads between migration, feminism, and mental health.

I come from other platforms hoping to find a gentler space here—to share books, ideas in progress, and reflections on living with BPD and OCD.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d love to connect 🌸

I suspect experts might not agree, but I find it useful to think of my mild OCD as a separate gremlin that lives in my head. One like a friendly and over enthusiastic dog that can only barely be trained, but responds disproportionately well to being distracted by small and (to me) insignificant rewards. I can also take OCD walkies (it especially likes walking perimeters and zig-zags) to get my own exercise, and do so most every day.

Re. mixing intoxicants: If you’re more drunk than stoned, you’re droned. If the other way around, you’re strunk. Either way, as long as you know which one you are, you shouldn’t operating a motor vehicle but just may be a bangin’ conversationalist at the moment. #OCD #SlangNazi

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)

Have a friend with #CPTSD , #ADHD and #OCD to the point of being disabled. Her partner started using #ChatGPT for coding and has severe ADHD. He found is was very good at gently nudging him back on track, and she started trying it and found similar success. She was even able to help process her emotions from therapy. After that she was able to see why the tech bros want to replace therapists with AI. However therapists can do things #AI can't, there is a real human interactions need for things like trauma treatments, also the AI is driven to please and tell you positive things which is a great tool for people with CPTSD who just assume they are worthless and everything is terrible and everyone must be judging them, but a therapist can call you on your bullshit, an ai can't. AI+human specialist can equal exponential efficiencies. Human alone will always be better than AI alone. Together they make an amazing team. AI can be great for people with disabilities, its being shoved into wasteful use cases that gives it a bad name
