Hydie Meink

About Me I’m Hydie. I survived human trafficking. I survived abuse. I survived systems that called themselves “support” but treated me like a problem, a file, a broken thing to be managed—not a human being to be heard. I have PTSD, severe ADHD, and Borderline Personality Disorder. And I’ve got a voice that’s louder than all of it. --- This blog isn’t about recovery that tiptoes around the truth. This is for the survivors who’ve been gaslit, ignored, misdiagnosed, criminalized, and told to shut up for the sake of someone else’s comfort. I’m not here to be digestible. I’m not here to be “inspiring.” I’m here to call out the systems that failed me—and keep failing others every single day. If that makes people uncomfortable? Good. Uncomfortable sparks change. --- This space is mine—uncaged, unfiltered, and unapologetic. And if you're a survivor reading this? You’re not alone. You’re not too much. You’re a force to be reckoned with, too.
