Spoiler: PDA isn’t a choice. It’s a nervous system response.

Heard of PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance aka Persistent Drive for Autonomy)?

For PDAers, everyday demands, even the small ones, can feel overwhelming, triggering avoidance, distress, or shutdown.

👉 And “demands” aren’t just chores or schoolwork. They can be:
– Sensory demands
– Social expectations
– Internal pressures
– Unspoken rules
– Even time-based routines

When the world feels full of demands, understanding and responding with compassion makes all the difference.

That’s why Jade created “All About PDA” 🐝 - a neuroaffirming parent guide to help you understand, reframe, and support with empathy.

📘 Our new booklet is launching soon!

💛 Want a copy when it drops? Comment PDA below and we’ll send you the details at launch time.

You don’t need a label maker or an alphabetised pantry to “qualify” for OCD. 🏷️😅

Because here’s the truth: OCD isn’t about quirky cleaning habits. It’s a brain caught in a cycle of intrusive thoughts and exhausting rituals.

The myths are everywhere, but so are the humans living with OCD. And they deserve compassion, understanding, and way more than stereotypes. 💛

👉 Take a look through this post to see some of the biggest myths we need to retire.
👇 Have you heard these myths before? Which one comes up the most in your world?

You don’t need the perfect words.
Just your presence.

Supporting someone with bipolar isn’t about “fixing” them—it’s about walking alongside them in the messy, beautiful, unpredictable middle.

Here’s what matters most:
🫟 Showing up on the ordinary days, not just the crisis ones.
🫟 Remembering that plans change because energy changes—not because love or care has.
🫟 Offering practical support—a meal, a ride, a check-in—without pressure or assumptions.

You don’t have to be perfect.
You just have to be steady. 💛

💬 If you’ve had someone be that steady support for you, tag them here. They deserve to know.
