Reply to comment by sugarandvelvet in TIFU by writing off radiation exposure as psychosis by sugarandvelvet

I had a family member go through serious mental health issues like this, please try to get help, and please try to get off the internet. There are people who will tell you to lean into these delusions and it will only hurt you, and alienate you further from the people who care about you.

Please try to get help, I know it’s hard because you can’t trust the things your brain is telling you are happening around you, but please try.

hey careful zucchinis. I left out a ton of background info for the sake of privacy, but there is obviously more context.

I absolutely have been hurt and alienated from the people I care about, because it was a hurtful and alienating experience.

Already, people sending links to potential technology this was, with potentials not as invasive as I originally thought, has eased my anxiety x10.

while im sure family engagement and support would be a positive thing in most psych cases, you cant cast the same die for everyone.

kow-towing to the will of my parents in this case was far more depressing than not: I moved back into a hoarder house with moral high-horsers on a dose of medication so heavy I could barely get out of bed.

I much prefer an esoteric existence where I preach how big pharma was originally created to boost rockerfeller petroleum assets, and openly proclaim to know how an x ray feels.
