<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@whitequark@mastodon.social</a> <a href="https://uwu.social/@alice" class="u-url mention">@alice@uwu.social</a> I mean I have a rational explanation for my psychosis. My brain began swelling as a symptom of malignant hyperthermia in combination with serotonin syndrome induced by strong opiates during my knee surgery. None of it was my fault but that doesn’t mean I don’t remember the horrors of being scared, trapped and losing my grip on reality. Nor do I forget the gaslighting and mistreatment by medical providers (the place I was inpatient in would switch up my medications and so much more but im not listing those). I’m extremely horrified of ever going back, and while I recognize that as a trauma response I don’t think anyone reasonable could deduce "just stop worrying about that particular thing" because it’s a known widespread phenomenon the mistreatment of psych patients. I also still can’t let that prevent me from seeking help…</p>
