This broke my heart. 

I just read TFiOS for the first time..

  • I started crying around page 133.
  • By page 181 my Dad heard me in hysterics and asked if they should ring the psych ward because they assumed I was having an anxiety attack.
  • Am I the only one that thought it didn’t end halfway through the narrative? I thought it ended well.

Don’t know the source.. Bethan sent it to me. Like seriously, let’s do a quick biological lesson. The pathophysicological basis of mental illness is scarily similar to a lot of those considered ‘physical’ illness’. It’s about chemical imbalance, nerve misfiring, action potential fluctuations, hormonal cascading. There is similar processes in the clotting process, which can cause stroke. Nerval impulses creating numbness or the basis for how we feel pain. There is no magical mental illness button, or hormone that we have that makes it any different. The only difference in the entire potential disease process is the symptomology. Instead of having a stroke, somebody has paranoia. Yes that’s the very very simplified version don’t get me wrong, but I physically cannot understand why people completely ignore mental illness because it’s not physical.  It IS physical. Yes the majority of it is contained to the mental stabilty or instability of a person. But what about the lethargy? The panic attacks, which cause shortness of breath, which if it’s not actually treated correctly will change the pH of the blood due to inadequate gas exchange. Similarly seen in respiratory distress. Anxiety and tremors, ignored because it’s a mental thing, yet has very similar presentation to shock. Which is actually an incredibly serious medical emergency if prolonged. Bipolar phases of mania, they have delusions, they’re crazy, and yet urinary tract infections in the elderly present the same way. We don’t ignore them. It’s a stigmatised thing don’t get me wrong, but take into consideration that the symptoms you feel when you’re sick, that you complain about, come from the same place as schizophrenia, or bipolar, or depression, or dysphoria, or anxiety diisorders. You’re just lucky enough that that particular illness cascade resulted in a ‘physical’ illness.

True story.. i’m kind of going insane

Okay so I’m doing non-pharmacological pain management options for post-operative pain. Which I’m sorry.. there are drugs for a reason. But I’ve been doing this for about n early 6 hours now. And I’m getting a LITTLEEEEEE hysterical. So I’m listening to itune and decide to start dancing.

Quite literally what I’m doing in front of a laptop

Mis this:

And then my housemate comes out of her room to see what I’m doing as it’s nearly midnight and I don’t realise as I have headphones in and so I turn around to:

And so I’m all:

Her:

Me:

Her:

And so me.. in my study drunk phase decide that THIS would be a good option:

So she’s all:

and so now I’m back to:

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

Me incredibly obnoxious and humming when I study. You will need to turn it up and listen to it with headphones.

For those who can’t understand it, that would be the Ash remix of the Darth Vadar theme from Star Wars, whilst reading about guided imagery.
