[health] / [mute] / scream
thiCC
I have a thigh gap
thiCC
for the first time ever
thiCC
I am not happy about it
thiCC
because it means YET MORE muscle loss D:
Vincent Gogh
you were in bed for 11 days
thiCC
>> true
Vincent Gogh
chris 🧸
try to be kind to yourself
thiCC
I did lose a lot of weight
thiCC
ahhhhhh I'm just scared I won't be able to get anything back but I AM SO I SHOULD CHILL
Vincent Gogh
you'll get better in this way
Vincent Gogh
just takes time
thiCC
ugh chill is hard
thiCC
breeeeeaaaathhhhe
thiCC
ugh though the other thing is I NEED TO EAT BUT I AM NAUSEOUS AND FOOD IS LIKE
thiCC
revolting
thiCC
EVEN THE CANDY MY DAD TRIED TO BE LIKE
thiCC
"this is always here. INTAKE CALORIES"
Vincent Gogh
dont think your tummy is ready for some things yet
Vincent Gogh
meds can have not so fun side effects
thiCC
or anything today -- but I did ask for an anti-nausea
thiCC
I HAVE to eat though seriously
Vincent Gogh
yes yes you do
thiCC
BECAUSE my meds have side effects
thiCC
uuuuuuuuuugh
thiCC
okay maybe in half an hour
CricketMomJenn
It takes time to get muscle back but you'll get there!
thiCC
ugh well CFIDS so
thiCC
thiCC
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
thiCC
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)
thiCC
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.
thiCC
also okay when it comes to food and me losing weight etc.
thiCC
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
thiCC
FEAR IS NOT A THING I AM USED TO obviously
thiCC
or entirely comfortable with
thiCC
I'm taking a deep breath
Vincent Gogh
thiCC
FEAR: Obviously I fear GETTING SICKER
I have LEARNED to fear: well nurses lmao but - even just the power people have over others etc.
thiCC
When I freaked out at 5th floor from the move and other things -- I told my Dad I wasn't scared of being wrong
thiCC
And this remains true
thiCC
I wasn't scared of it all being a hallucination, that's great. HONESTLY IT IS
thiCC
I was TERRIFIED of being right
thiCC
because I didn't have an answer for that. A JUST AND MORAL SOLUTION etc.
thiCC
IN ICU I was overhearing eeeeeverything because my ears are extra sound sensitive and no one bothered to stfu
thiCC
I jolted my system three times in one night
thiCC
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
thiCC
FEAR IS GOOD. I AM OKAY. I am safe now. I am loved. God am I loved lol ALSO OMFG
Vincent Gogh
yes yes you are
thiCC
MooseChangerPat so Star was in western MA with her fiance of like 10 years UNTIL THANKSGIVING WEEKEND HOW FREAKY IS THAT
thiCC
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 -
thiCC
OH I SHOULD ADD
thiCC
Seeing Star flooded me with NOT JUST MEMORIES OF STAR
thiCC
I remember the morning I went in for the endoscopy now
thiCC
because of Star XDDDD It jogged ALL my memories and opened the floodgate
thiCC
But trying to put it in an order and process it yes caused a small snap
thiCC
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
thiCC
AND I JUST LAUGHED BECAUSE WELL.... yeah
thiCC
I mean
thiCC
THE MORE PEOPLE WHO CAME IN AND OUT AND STUFF
thiCC
THE MORE IT REINFORCED THIS IDEA THAT IT WAS ALL TO FAKE ME OUT lmfao
𝔯𝔞𝔦𝔫𝔟𝔬𝔴 𝔭𝔦𝔯𝔞𝔠𝑦~
thiCC
So even cleaning people I was kind of mean to because I was like
thiCC
"/hiss!!!"
thiCC
AND EXTRA LIKE
thiCC
"ALL ARE ENEMIES"
thiCC
except my family thank fuck
thiCC
I SHOULD ALSO ADD IN HERE
thiCC
This is what NON - immunoglobin G allergies DO to your brain - that's how the immune system affects your brain
thiCC
it causes AIWS and reality distortion and makes it literally impossible to tell the difference
thiCC
but yes like it uh revealed/REMINDED MY BRAIN/BODY together that I was
thiCC
Hn not that I'm not invincible like
thiCC
my Dad was saying how all these grown men get scared of hospitals or hallucinations or not being in control
thiCC
BUT RATHER WHAT SCARED ME WAS that vulnerability in myself
thiCC
annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd that there IS even that injustice in the universe wherein some people WILL take advantage of it in others
thiCC
Because I didn't have a solution for it.
thiCC
and my mom was saying I was having some Mandela Effect where I was back to Spaulding mentally/emotionally a little
thiCC
because the brain was just trying to make sense of everything, yes, but also ME BEING IN A POSITION OF EXPOSED VULNERABILITY => Spaulding
thiCC
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.
thiCC
but obvs. it wasn't all a reaction, ICU did have some fucked up shit going on (LOL)
thiCC
Oh and everyone was asking why I had respiratory failure etc.
thiCC
It wasn't just that my lungs were like 95% mucus (which my body overproduces)
thiCC
they used a med contraindicatory for someone with soy allergy : )
thiCC
so I lauuuuughed because
thiCC
it fit (LOL)
thiCC
ALSO I MADE STAR LAUGH ABOUT THE THIGH GAP THING ROFL
thiCC
She was like "OMG THAT IS SO YOU." SHE KNOOOOOWS
thiCC
She was my cocaptain for color guard XD
thiCC
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 !!
thiCC
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"
thiCC
and she was like "This looks so fun! I want to just come play here one day!!"
thiCC
And I might see her Weds :3
thiCC
thiCC
not the OTT thing but the
thiCC
feeling like you have to save the world and almost that lack of freedom
𝔯𝔞𝔦𝔫𝔟𝔬𝔴 𝔭𝔦𝔯𝔞𝔠𝑦~
loco
thiCC
plus I think forcing myself to eat I might have ingested some things I was allergic to as well lmfao so
thiCC
HAVING AN ALLERGIC REACTION THAT NIGHT SEEMS LIKELY
thiCC
And even possible of
thiCC
"let's try her on it and see what happens"
thiCC
um WRT MEMORIES COMING BACK VIA STAR
thiCC
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
thiCC
so STAR KNOWS AND ACCEPTS MORE THAN ME MY ALLERGIES ROFL
thiCC
-- NOW VISUAL HALLUCINATIONS Are NOT SCARY to me becauuuuuuuuuuuuse
thiCC
my synesthesia has a built-in mechanism wherein I can tell visual reality
thiCC
because hallucinations don't kick in synesthesia so
thiCC
though I was talking about the other times I've hallucinated -- rabbits and gnomes
thiCC
BOTH TIMES BECAUSE OF APPLE ALLERGY LAWL
thiCC
again I don't have scary hallucinations, and my Dad was saying "you should say that's what happens: gnomes attack"
thiCC
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 \:|/"
thiCC
so because I was HEARING [everything] it was NOT something I could identify between real and not
thiCC
SOME OF WHAT I OVERHEARD WAS DEFINITELY REAL
thiCC
And not good
thiCC
and caused the rest
thiCC
for sure
thiCC
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....
thiCC
As I said: nooooooo, and tbf anyone would be more compliant etc. lol It's a VERY VULNERABLE SITUATION
thiCC
and -> that jolted my brain a bit back to Spaulding which wasn't at all the same but it revealed to me MY weaknesses
thiCC
It's GOOD because
thiCC
I am AWARE of my weakness/vulnerabilities
thiCC
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
thiCC
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
thiCC
Whittier is great because they specialize in all kinds of rehab so they know too like MY TYPE OF PERSONALITY rofl
thiCC
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.
thiCC
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
thiCC
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%
thiCC
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... >>"
thiCC
and I was just like "omfg STAR!!!!!?"
thiCC
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
thiCC
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????"
thiCC
and I was like "Because I am CC and I was like 'NOW EVERYONE GO TO COLLEGE AND I WILL NINJA INTO THE BACKGROUND!"
thiCC
And she was like "GDI CC THAT IS NOT HEALTHY D:<"
thiCC
see also I need to be back in MA because I was literally dying otherwise
thiCC
Because I would hermit away :V which is not healthy.
thiCC
like literally physically bad for my lungs lmfao
thiCC
speaking of tickling the whale gently instead
thiCC
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"
thiCC
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!
thiCC
and we were talking about the immune system's effect on the brain -- AIWS and the reality distortions etc.
thiCC
my Mom thinks that's what's happening with Luffy-bro, he's having the allergic reactions
thiCC
esp. because see also: my reactions usually involve me being PRO-ACTIVE AS FUCK
thiCC
Attack the gnomes strike first X-(
thiCC
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.
thiCC
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
thiCC
and so exposing myself to my own vulnerability was yeah THAT was the scarier part
thiCC
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
thiCC
thanks to me having a meltdown that night from all the shocks to my system
thiCC
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.
thiCC
and they did try to scare me with the bed and get me to eat more and that caused the rest of my meltdown
thiCC
such that my brain decided "floor 5" was some sort of "food thing" and trying to force people into compliance etc.
thiCC
I am still laughing at my own reaction though because well yeah
thiCC
If you think the more people come in and get involved and ASK HOW YOU ARE = proof of a MASSIVE scheme
thiCC
of course you're going to be a BITCH AND A HALF
thiCC
Like that's not even "water is wet"
thiCC
That's like "So a Ninevite asked Jonah how he was doing and he was more than rude" well yeah
thiCC
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
thiCC
I THINK I did go for MRIs because I remembered the couches in the lobby and thinking of them as swanky but
thiCC
hahaha ALSO THE BEST PART IS
thiCC
The more anyone tried to convince me I was crazy the more it fortified my "SCHEME D:<" scare because
thiCC
That was built into it all along (LOL)
Vincent Gogh
I am VERY glad our thoughts/prayers were answered because that probably brought Star to you
thiCC
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.
thiCC
OH MAN ME TOO LMFAO THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH SHE IS AN ANGEL XD
thiCC
and it is EERIE how parrallel our paths are because like I said
thiCC
Thanksgiving weekend
Vincent Gogh
<333
thiCC
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?"
thiCC
Nope SHE IS IN A SAME WEIRD LIMBO
thiCC
AND AGAIN THIS IS STAR WHO GOT IN PHARMACOLOGY BECAUSE OF DAD
Vincent Gogh
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!
thiCC
AND THAT DREAMED OF DAD TAKING US ON MAD SCIENTIST ADVENTURES alksdjalksdjas
thiCC
Vincent Gogh : ? how so
thiCC
I think it was the soy allergy med they used lmfao um
thiCC
+ 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

thiCC
AND I STRAIGHT UP SAID i WOULD FIGHT MOM AND DAD TO PROTECT YOU
thiCC
AND LIKE THIS IS CC
MooseChangerPat
thiCC
I don't protect myself
thiCC
I DO NOT PROTECT MYSELF
MooseChangerPat
This is why Star is a good friend to have with you as your co-captain
thiCC
BUT I WILL FIGHT THE GOD DAMN UNIVERSE TO PROTECT YOU
thiCC
I didn't fight back against bullies
thiCC
until you were bullied
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!

Vincent Gogh
I LOVE YOU MOSTEST!!!
Vincent Gogh

MooseChangerPat
I got dibs
Vincent Gogh
XD I can share with you
thiCC
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
thiCC
Vincent Gogh : I didn't go on a trip, I was forced to come home because vomiting blood :T
Vincent Gogh
><
thiCC
"come home" BACK TO MY PARENTS
thiCC
which was more or less Star with her ex-bf she came back to MA THANKSGIVING WEEKEND aslkdjalskdjas
thiCC
but um yeaaaahhhh no I can safely say now
thiCC
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?
thiCC
but 2) they used a medicine to put me under that is CONTRAINDICATORY for someone allergic to soy : )

I'm allergic to soy.

Like.

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

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

"They don't seem like the ones who needed protecting"
thiCC
