[health] / [mute] / scream
CChuuni
I have a thigh gap
CChuuni
for the first time ever
CChuuni
I am not happy about it
CChuuni
because it means YET MORE muscle loss D:
JingleBells
you were in bed for 11 days
CChuuni
>> true
JingleBells
chris ⛅
try to be kind to yourself
CChuuni
I did lose a lot of weight
CChuuni
ahhhhhh I'm just scared I won't be able to get anything back but I AM SO I SHOULD CHILL
JingleBells
you'll get better in this way
JingleBells
just takes time
CChuuni
ugh chill is hard
CChuuni
breeeeeaaaathhhhe
CChuuni
ugh though the other thing is I NEED TO EAT BUT I AM NAUSEOUS AND FOOD IS LIKE
CChuuni
revolting
CChuuni
EVEN THE CANDY MY DAD TRIED TO BE LIKE
CChuuni
"this is always here. INTAKE CALORIES"
JingleBells
dont think your tummy is ready for some things yet
JingleBells
meds can have not so fun side effects
CChuuni
or anything today -- but I did ask for an anti-nausea
CChuuni
I HAVE to eat though seriously
JingleBells
yes yes you do
CChuuni
BECAUSE my meds have side effects
CChuuni
uuuuuuuuuugh
CChuuni
okay maybe in half an hour
CricketMomJenn
It takes time to get muscle back but you'll get there!
CChuuni
ugh well CFIDS so
CChuuni
CChuuni
I won't but I did get SOME back and more than I expected and less damage than I thought
CricketMomJenn
Yeah CFIDS does make it harder sob
Mags
CChuuni
OKAY HAD SOME AWESOME THERAPY SESSIONS I AM SUPER HAPPY ABOUT, Talked to my Mom extended hours after that -- she and Nurse-Friend-of-Family Donna came to visit and it's extra reassuring for my Mom to see that I can SAFELY push myself and BUILD PROGRESS (which previously I could not)
CChuuni
and indeed they said I could practice using Robbie in the future because that's literally one of my goals: to be able to walk him to any of the five pokemon go gyms and back without burning out etc.
CChuuni
also okay when it comes to food and me losing weight etc.
CChuuni
When I was in ICU I exposed a weakness in myself that revealed some psychological damage I was ashamed of/embarrassed of -- About the doing something I didn't want to in order to avoid [fear] and INDEED
CChuuni
FEAR IS NOT A THING I AM USED TO obviously
CChuuni
or entirely comfortable with
CChuuni
I'm taking a deep breath
JingleBells
CChuuni
FEAR: Obviously I fear GETTING SICKER
I have LEARNED to fear: well nurses lmao but - even just the power people have over others etc.
CChuuni
When I freaked out at 5th floor from the move and other things -- I told my Dad I wasn't scared of being wrong
CChuuni
And this remains true
CChuuni
I wasn't scared of it all being a hallucination, that's great. HONESTLY IT IS
CChuuni
I was TERRIFIED of being right
CChuuni
because I didn't have an answer for that. A JUST AND MORAL SOLUTION etc.
CChuuni
IN ICU I was overhearing eeeeeverything because my ears are extra sound sensitive and no one bothered to stfu
CChuuni
I jolted my system three times in one night
CChuuni
1) I forced myself to eat despite not wanting to
2) I recounted the tale and tried to fill in the blanks
3) I exposed that weakness(es) to myself
CChuuni
FEAR IS GOOD. I AM OKAY. I am safe now. I am loved. God am I loved lol ALSO OMFG
JingleBells
yes yes you are
CChuuni
MooseChangerPat so Star was in western MA with her fiance of like 10 years UNTIL THANKSGIVING WEEKEND HOW FREAKY IS THAT
CChuuni
But I think yeah, obviously forcing myself to eat and exposing that weakness + combine it with the TRYING TO REMEMBER INSTEAD OF LETTING THEM JUST FLOOD ME -
CChuuni
OH I SHOULD ADD
CChuuni
Seeing Star flooded me with NOT JUST MEMORIES OF STAR
CChuuni
I remember the morning I went in for the endoscopy now
CChuuni
because of Star XDDDD It jogged ALL my memories and opened the floodgate
CChuuni
But trying to put it in an order and process it yes caused a small snap
CChuuni
lmfao my Mom was saying how I would give everyone dirty looks and treat them like ENEMY NUMBER 1 for even asking how I was doing
CChuuni
AND I JUST LAUGHED BECAUSE WELL.... yeah
CChuuni
I mean
CChuuni
THE MORE PEOPLE WHO CAME IN AND OUT AND STUFF
CChuuni
THE MORE IT REINFORCED THIS IDEA THAT IT WAS ALL TO FAKE ME OUT lmfao
𝔯𝔞𝔦𝔫𝔟𝔬𝔴 𝔭𝔦𝔯𝔞𝔠𝑦~
CChuuni
So even cleaning people I was kind of mean to because I was like
CChuuni
"/hiss!!!"
CChuuni
AND EXTRA LIKE
CChuuni
"ALL ARE ENEMIES"
CChuuni
except my family thank fuck
CChuuni
I SHOULD ALSO ADD IN HERE
CChuuni
This is what NON - immunoglobin G allergies DO to your brain - that's how the immune system affects your brain
CChuuni
it causes AIWS and reality distortion and makes it literally impossible to tell the difference
CChuuni
but yes like it uh revealed/REMINDED MY BRAIN/BODY together that I was
CChuuni
Hn not that I'm not invincible like
CChuuni
my Dad was saying how all these grown men get scared of hospitals or hallucinations or not being in control
CChuuni
BUT RATHER WHAT SCARED ME WAS that vulnerability in myself
CChuuni
annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd that there IS even that injustice in the universe wherein some people WILL take advantage of it in others
CChuuni
Because I didn't have a solution for it.
CChuuni
and my mom was saying I was having some Mandela Effect where I was back to Spaulding mentally/emotionally a little
CChuuni
because the brain was just trying to make sense of everything, yes, but also ME BEING IN A POSITION OF EXPOSED VULNERABILITY => Spaulding
CChuuni
and even my Dad and others were like "this doesn't sound like you" and my Dad said my voice sounded extra like I was a teen again etc.
CChuuni
but obvs. it wasn't all a reaction, ICU did have some fucked up shit going on (LOL)
CChuuni
Oh and everyone was asking why I had respiratory failure etc.
CChuuni
It wasn't just that my lungs were like 95% mucus (which my body overproduces)
CChuuni
they used a med contraindicatory for someone with soy allergy : )
CChuuni
so I lauuuuughed because
CChuuni
it fit (LOL)
CChuuni
ALSO I MADE STAR LAUGH ABOUT THE THIGH GAP THING ROFL
CChuuni
She was like "OMG THAT IS SO YOU." SHE KNOOOOOWS
CChuuni
She was my cocaptain for color guard XD
CChuuni
She also came along for 2nd PT which wasn't on my note so I didn't know I had it, so originally I thought 1-2 I was free from PT ergo could visit with her etc. but as long as the patient wants them there, anyone can go !!
CChuuni
and she was like "yeah see that's not CC style, CC style is throw someone the hardest thing possible and see how they do with it" and I was like "damn right XD"
CChuuni
and she was like "This looks so fun! I want to just come play here one day!!"
CChuuni
And I might see her Weds :3
CChuuni
CChuuni
not the OTT thing but the
CChuuni
feeling like you have to save the world and almost that lack of freedom
𝔯𝔞𝔦𝔫𝔟𝔬𝔴 𝔭𝔦𝔯𝔞𝔠𝑦~
loco
CChuuni
plus I think forcing myself to eat I might have ingested some things I was allergic to as well lmfao so
CChuuni
HAVING AN ALLERGIC REACTION THAT NIGHT SEEMS LIKELY
CChuuni
And even possible of
CChuuni
"let's try her on it and see what happens"
CChuuni
um WRT MEMORIES COMING BACK VIA STAR
CChuuni
She accidentally dabbed me with perfume once in 8th grade and I didn't bother washing it off or worrying I was like "I can't even smell it, it's probably fine lawl" -> 45 minutes later I had INTENSE hallucinations lmfao
CChuuni
so STAR KNOWS AND ACCEPTS MORE THAN ME MY ALLERGIES ROFL
CChuuni
-- NOW VISUAL HALLUCINATIONS Are NOT SCARY to me becauuuuuuuuuuuuse
CChuuni
my synesthesia has a built-in mechanism wherein I can tell visual reality
CChuuni
because hallucinations don't kick in synesthesia so
CChuuni
though I was talking about the other times I've hallucinated -- rabbits and gnomes
CChuuni
BOTH TIMES BECAUSE OF APPLE ALLERGY LAWL
CChuuni
again I don't have scary hallucinations, and my Dad was saying "you should say that's what happens: gnomes attack"
CChuuni
and I was like "WELL ACTUALLY I was apparently saying we needed to strike the gnomes first... so I was more planning to attack the gnomes"
Dad: "even better, YOU attack gnomes \:|/"
CChuuni
so because I was HEARING [everything] it was NOT something I could identify between real and not
CChuuni
SOME OF WHAT I OVERHEARD WAS DEFINITELY REAL
CChuuni
And not good
CChuuni
and caused the rest
CChuuni
for sure
CChuuni
and people would try to reassure me that I was too strong to be compliant, but obvs. since that night I tried to force myself to eat so I wouldn't be back in the scary bed....
CChuuni
As I said: nooooooo, and tbf anyone would be more compliant etc. lol It's a VERY VULNERABLE SITUATION
CChuuni
and -> that jolted my brain a bit back to Spaulding which wasn't at all the same but it revealed to me MY weaknesses
CChuuni
It's GOOD because
CChuuni
I am AWARE of my weakness/vulnerabilities
CChuuni
and in a safe place wherein not only do I need to know them, but need others to SEE AND KNOW AND HELP ME PROTECT MYSELF lol
CChuuni
Um: first and foremost -> I was addicted to exercise to ignore pain :VVVV
-> you never stop being a workaholic
-> I DO NOT TAKE SLOW AND EASY AND BREAKS WELL
-> I want to run like Emi not build up to it
CChuuni
Whittier is great because they specialize in all kinds of rehab so they know too like MY TYPE OF PERSONALITY rofl
CChuuni
and instead of Spaulding which was like "you can ignore the pain by WORKING EVEN HARDER X-(" which caused me to collapse. A lot. and be paralyzed etc.
CChuuni
and god like Star is 100% the best person for being in my life RIGHT THIS SECOND because she is THE MOST PATIENT PERSON I KNOW ROFL like I sprained my foot and we underestimated the distance from bus stop to her house but she was just like "hey you got this, we're doing great, I AM HERE WITH YOU ^^" the whole hoooouuur it took us to get there rofl
CChuuni
and like I said, she was my cocaptain because she was the one who was good at building people up slowly and offset all my weaknesses 100%
CChuuni
I STILL THINK IT IS FUNNY SHE WAS LIKE "Do you remember me?" and at first I thought she was a RANDOM PERSON FROM FRAMINGHAM HOSPITAL So I was like "nope :V" and she was like "... awkward.... /insert Homer fading into bushes" and then was like "well we went to school together... >>"
CChuuni
and I was just like "omfg STAR!!!!!?"
CChuuni
mind you I had just woken up because migraine and Luffy-bro was here to protect me so I took a mini-nap so I LITERALLY just woke up to Star but yeessssss
CChuuni
And I was like "omfg I would never forget you Star you were my bff in middle school!!!" and she was later like "WAIT WTF CC HOW DID WE EVEN LOSE TOUCH????"
CChuuni
and I was like "Because I am CC and I was like 'NOW EVERYONE GO TO COLLEGE AND I WILL NINJA INTO THE BACKGROUND!"
CChuuni
And she was like "GDI CC THAT IS NOT HEALTHY D:<"
CChuuni
see also I need to be back in MA because I was literally dying otherwise
CChuuni
Because I would hermit away :V which is not healthy.
CChuuni
like literally physically bad for my lungs lmfao
CChuuni
speaking of tickling the whale gently instead
CChuuni
so tonight was a major piece out not only "hey CC allergies are very potent shit, please don't ignore them just because one reaction isn't vomiting blood, it can still be intense"
CChuuni
I was talking to my Mom about Luffy-bro and my friend Leanne and I met at camp because we both had food allergies -> but hers don't cause physical reactions, they gave her personality reactions!
CChuuni
and we were talking about the immune system's effect on the brain -- AIWS and the reality distortions etc.
CChuuni
my Mom thinks that's what's happening with Luffy-bro, he's having the allergic reactions
CChuuni
esp. because see also: my reactions usually involve me being PRO-ACTIVE AS FUCK
CChuuni
Attack the gnomes strike first X-(
CChuuni
and like I told my Dad: I wasn't scared of being wrong; hallucinating, etc. THAT IS EASY BECAUSE You don't have to DO anything about that. I was TERRIFIED of being right. Because I didn't know what to do about that.
CChuuni
and like I said, I've VISUALLY hallucinated before -- but it has a built-in check for reality for me because it doesn't have the synesthesia so I can always tell visuals aren't there
CChuuni
and so exposing myself to my own vulnerability was yeah THAT was the scarier part
CChuuni
I think it's safe to assume the stuff about trying to get people on the floor to eat more and where I thought the whole floor/ward was a fake scheme / medicare fraud was
CChuuni
thanks to me having a meltdown that night from all the shocks to my system
CChuuni
though at the same time, I did def. overhear some real shit in ICU of nurses thinking the allergies weren't real, and I was primed against them from the start because of the incident with others and the first day I woke up etc. etc.
CChuuni
and they did try to scare me with the bed and get me to eat more and that caused the rest of my meltdown
CChuuni
such that my brain decided "floor 5" was some sort of "food thing" and trying to force people into compliance etc.
CChuuni
I am still laughing at my own reaction though because well yeah
CChuuni
If you think the more people come in and get involved and ASK HOW YOU ARE = proof of a MASSIVE scheme
CChuuni
of course you're going to be a BITCH AND A HALF
CChuuni
Like that's not even "water is wet"
CChuuni
That's like "So a Ninevite asked Jonah how he was doing and he was more than rude" well yeah
CChuuni
Man like even right this second, I am a little fuzzy how much is dream, how much is real with the day I called my parents in
CChuuni
I THINK I did go for MRIs because I remembered the couches in the lobby and thinking of them as swanky but
CChuuni
hahaha ALSO THE BEST PART IS
CChuuni
The more anyone tried to convince me I was crazy the more it fortified my "SCHEME D:<" scare because
CChuuni
That was built into it all along (LOL)
JingleBells
I am VERY glad our thoughts/prayers were answered because that probably brought Star to you
CChuuni
But yeah like I think because I DID actually try to force myself to eat I likely was having an allergic reaction to something AND obvs. scared myself with that vulnerability etc.
CChuuni
OH MAN ME TOO LMFAO THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH SHE IS AN ANGEL XD
CChuuni
and it is EERIE how parrallel our paths are because like I said
CChuuni
Thanksgiving weekend
JingleBells
<333
CChuuni
WE BOTH WERE LIKE ":-o no way!!!" and my Mom got goosebumps over that too
MooseChangerPat
Yeah, I just told Dad and he was like "That is eerie! Is she with her Fiancee now?"
CChuuni
Nope SHE IS IN A SAME WEIRD LIMBO
CChuuni
AND AGAIN THIS IS STAR WHO GOT IN PHARMACOLOGY BECAUSE OF DAD
JingleBells
yes; I know about Thanksgiving weekend and I kept thinking thats what caused all of this as you were unconcious
MooseChangerPat
THAT'S REALLY FREAKY!
CChuuni
AND THAT DREAMED OF DAD TAKING US ON MAD SCIENTIST ADVENTURES alksdjalksdjas
CChuuni
JingleBells : ? how so
CChuuni
I think it was the soy allergy med they used lmfao um
CChuuni
+ being like 95% mucus filled
MooseChangerPat
But I am like... so touched you have Star back in your life, and also a tiny bit jealous that I can't be there for you as much as she can right now /stupid Moose world problems

I STILL THINK THE SHOE ON HEAD IS ONE OF MY BEST PARTY TRICKS!
CChuuni

CChuuni
AND LIKE THIS IS CC
MooseChangerPat
CChuuni
I don't protect myself
CChuuni
I DO NOT PROTECT MYSELF
MooseChangerPat
This is why Star is a good friend to have with you as your co-captain
CChuuni
BUT I WILL FIGHT THE GOD DAMN UNIVERSE TO PROTECT YOU
CChuuni
I didn't fight back against bullies
CChuuni

MooseChangerPat
I WILL ALSO FIGHT THINGS FOR YOU! EVEN THOUGH I AM A FAIL MOE BLOB WHO IS BAD AT FIGHTING THINGS, AND MOSTLY JUST TRY TO SILLY MY WAY OUT OF THINGS!

MooseChangerPat

JingleBells

CChuuni
And then I realized bullies don't just pick one victim, they just lash out based on opportunity and I have the CAPACITY to fight back and So SHOULD because they need to be pushed back against
CChuuni
JingleBells : I didn't go on a trip, I was forced to come home because vomiting blood :T
JingleBells

CChuuni
"come home" BACK TO MY PARENTS
CChuuni
which was more or less Star with her ex-bf she came back to MA THANKSGIVING WEEKEND aslkdjalskdjas
CChuuni
but um yeaaaahhhh no I can safely say now
CChuuni
1) yes my lungs were overly mucus filled -- and indeed they kind of "juiced me" - I keep referencing it to being like the blueberry girl in Willy Wonka rofl
MooseChangerPat
At least you didn't explode?
CChuuni
but 2) they used a medicine to put me under that is CONTRAINDICATORY for someone allergic to soy : )

I'm allergic to soy.

Like.

very.
MooseChangerPat
And you're not blue, so we can't have you singing "I'm blue" and starring in La blu girl.

CChuuni
I am forced to BE healthier to protect you XDDDDDDDDDD
CChuuni
IT IS LITERALLY BATMAN THE LEGO MOVIE

CChuuni
He pushes everyone away to "protect them" and it's like
CChuuni
"They don't seem like the ones who needed protecting"
CChuuni
YEAH THAT'S ME
CChuuni
I'M BATMAN REMEMBER?
