I had like full body chills when you said there was a voice inside your head telling you what to do... I could never imagine.. I am so glad everything is back to normal girl and you are well!
Sam Row me tooooo😭😭😭 not to be religious about it but I think that was God talking to her.
@@wig2.061 Its ok to express your love for God
@@wig2.061 so many people get voices in their head, i know people who have had them and the voices said terrible things to them, it's not a good thing and it's not god. there's nothing wrong with believing but please don't discount serious mental illnesses as god.
@@wig2.061 Satan also speaks to people, sadly
Wig 2.0 You think God was telling her to throw herself off the bed? Or did you mean how she felt like someone was watching out for her and telling her how to get home?
TH-cam would NOT stop recommending this to me, so here I am

Goes to show how hardcore opiate withdrawals are, not just physically but mentally especially. I can only imagine how traumatic and scary it would be if you did not realize that it was what you were going through, especially with the insomnia and major anxiety. Poor girl, I’m so so glad you are doing better
she even said it wasnt opiates. opiates and muscle relaxer are 2 different things
and that didn't touch opiate withdrawal - likely cyclobenzaprine
It wasn’t opiates
aw luca i know you were nervous to post this but i’m so glad you’re recovering and know that your so loved and you have really impacted my life in so many ways the past year💓💓
If you’ve ever experienced the irrational-fear-side-effect of anxiety/panic disorders, you can almost feel the paranoia and sleep deprivation second hand.
That is so sad to me to know how many people deal with this sort of thing
When I had my accident 13 years ago I remember specifically my mom washed the blood out of my hair, that’s something that sticks with you. Thank you for sharing this 💕
I had a horrible experience with my wisdom teeth too, it took me three weeks to get back to anywhere near being normal. I couldn't even get out of my bed for a week 😕
Emily Ernst same!! so many of my friends were fine after 2 days i was like what??? i didn’t eat solid food for 3 weeks it was horrible. so sad you had to deal with that too but i’m glad i’m not the only one because i felt like i was being dramatic compared to everyone else i know :))
@@annakathaleen1874 YES!!! At long last, someone with a shared experience 😂 My brother got his out at the same time I did and could walk and talk the same day and then I had to be hauled out in wheelchair 😂😂😂
That sounds so terrible. I am sorry for both of you. I am so glad I don’t have wisdom teeth☺️
@Amy Nguyen Everyone is different 🤷♀️ My bottom two were horizontal and impacted too 😬
I had a really bad experience too! I was allergic to the narcotics they put me on and every time I stood up I would pass out and everything I ate and drank for a week I would throw up. I also broke out in a terrible rash all over my body and had to go to the ER because my blood pressure dropped really low, and I was extremely dehydrated and faint. It was the worst thing ever!!
I love the positive message at the end. You’re incredibly strong! I wish you a steady and great recovery. You’ll be great, I promise.
Anyone can have a heart attack at any age, I did CPR on an eleven day old baby that had one.
And quitting additive drugs or alcohol can cause high blood pressure, even strokes ....
@@janedoex1398 yeah but your more likely to have a stroke, heart attack etc ON those drugs
the medical bills were probably horrible! I'm so glad you're okay!
I got a concussion in October and I still haven’t recovered fully, my brain isn’t the same as it was before the injury. I don’t recommend it.
For real.
exactly. i was in a car accident almost 4 years ago, had a concussion that went undiagnosed, now suffer from chronic migraines along with other health problems. scary stuff
Margo McVaugh :( I feel so sad for you guys that is one of my worst fears. One day you’re good, one day you’re not and you have to live with BS painful symptoms. For whatever it’s worth I wish you guys recover somehow in the near future or at least it becomes more bearable.
I had one almost a year ago. Just wanted to quickly reccomend the "concussion diet" . Changed a lot for me in only 2 days. It removes food that causes inflammation in the body and promotes food that heal. Really tough because you give up lots of food, but the concussion symptoms are worse. It's up to you.
@@C888_ yeah, that's the diet my mom went on and it helped her with her migraines, i went on it for almost 2 years and it did nothing for me, but for anyone else struggling with symptoms i'd def give it a try!
Hey I had back surgery and got a muscle relaxer called Flexural (I think that’s how you spell it) and I also had Oxy, and it made me tired and made me feel like i was in a dream 24/7. Hated it!!!
Like this so she can see it!
Kelsee Doddd I took flexerol (cyclobenzaprine) and it was a nightmare
glad you got through that. I had a traumatic brain injury when i was 5 years old and it is the hardest thing i have ever gone through
Mad respect! Takes a lot of courage to make a video on this.
Not sure why this showed up in my feed, but I watched it. Having watched this, I am greatly concerned that so much of this is being contributed to mental illness, when there was clearly a brain injury and medication involved in the equation.
I totally totally understand this episode you had and the attributing lack of sleep. I had an emotional break due to something similar. I can also relate to the difficulty talking about it. It took me years. Thank you for sharing.
That is so terrifying, I've had panic attacks and anxiety before, and I've definitely been very sleep deprived, but I've never lost touch with reality that way and it must have been so traumatic
Actually wen the aunt discovered that she was bleeding from her head.she should have called the ambulance though like right away.Not wait for the parents to come and bring her to the hospital in the car. Although,I’m really Glad she’s okay.
i think it’s because they live in america and an ambulance is like 5000-8000 sometimes so it was better to just drive
I'm so glad you are ok. How beyond scary.
you are so so strong and just know that God is with you every single step of the way!
Thank you Kenzie. I believe you are right.
I got serious chills when you said how you stood on your bed and fell backwards. I am so glad you are ok!
Vanessa Hope
That seriously freaked me out a lot..
me too 😖
Dude, when I saw your name it literally tripped me out. 😂
@@adri5817 I'm really confused by that part like that doesn't make sense y she thought she should do that?
Awesomeness she was completely out of it. She wasn’t herself.
she shouldnt be scared of being sued THE DRUG company should be SCARED that she didnt sue them she should have sued them
Or the dr for prescribing it to her
Oh my gosh that is what I was thinking! I mean, holy geez!
I’m always 100% sure she’s talking about Carisoprodol x
@@holly_4116 or tizanidine or soma (which is dangerous)
Luca doesn't have any money?
this is actually the most terrifying situation ever.
Ryan Garvey ikr and I have to get my wisdom teeth out soon😳
“I wasn’t going to hurt myself, I just needed a little privacy”. Multiple patients have said this to me, and although I would love to give you that privacy and trust your word.. I can’t. It takes only SECONDS for someone to harm themselves in a way that’s detrimental and irreversible. Although it seems unfair and unnecessary (esp. since you felt mentally sound), it’s ALL for your own safety.
But I definitely don’t agree with any healthcare professional talking to you like an object.
I’m so sorry you went through this and I applaud you for being brave enough to share your story
Agreed. It could be that nurses whole career if she closed the door and she did hurt herself.
And I applaud you for following protocol and not giving them privacy even when they seem okay in the moment and you know privacy Is a basic human need. My husband has had multiple suicide attempts while inpatient. I am always thankful to the nurses who don’t listen to his smooth talk.
Kelkelll so true, sometimes you feel like you won’t intentionally hurt yourself so it’s unnecessary but you could accidentally hurt yourself too, when I had a severe panic attack I had a heart rate of 160 bpm and I had a fall risk bracelet and I was so annoyed because I couldn’t go to the bathroom without ringing a nurse but the first time I got up with the nurse to go I almost DID fall. Trust what they tell you especially these little things that piss you off because it’s just for safety
When she talked about this it was crazy to me because when I went into the hospital for suicidal ideation, they asked me if I had a plan, I told them no, and they told me there was nothing they could do for me other than put me back on a medication that made me vomit...
@@SB7698 thank you! and I genuinely thank you. When patients and their family members can understand why we do what we do, and that it's solely meant to look out for their best interest.. It really means a lot to us. Unfortunately, my job is not to become your best friend. You may hate me as a patient because of the decisions I make, but it's all for YOUR benefit in the long run. I am and always will be your advocate (referring to the patient and their loved ones).
For someone who has such positive mindset all the time it makes me so sad that this has happened to her 😭😭
Lucky you, I wish I had a positive mindset.
itslikeaneyelash butitsandeilish I was taking about Luca ..
@@alexismaslyanskiy sorry.
Alexis Cruz all they were saying is that they wish they could have a positive mindset rather than a negative one
@@thegrayareainlife6474 yeah
Why was she even allowed to go to class???.... let alone drive a car
bc school systems here in the us suck. we can only get 10 days of absence and any more u have to go to court.
@@yoongi9424 why would you say that? That is not true. You may fail the class but you dont go to court.
@@lvega5606 oh well my state u do have to
@@lvega5606 sorry that i didnt know about other states
yoongi ! In my state you have to go to court as well unless you have proof that you’re in the hospital, but even then you either have to get homeschooled, drop out, or fail.
🥺 this was hard to watch, it was so sad seeing how out of it you were. I’m so glad you’re okay
I Have Anxiety as well but, I'm glad you're okay!!
coming from a nursing student: IF YOU ARE EVER HAVING WEIRD SIDE EFFECTS OR SYMPTOMS AFTER STOPPING A MEDICATION, CALL YOUR DOCTOR! it's amazing that Luca is alive and she shouldn't have had to go through this. if you don't feel right, keep telling someone until they listen. get the help you need. your life is worth it.
cleo lyn reading this was super important to me, since im gradually minimizing my anti depressive intake and have been feeling CRAZY. ive talked to my psychiatrist multiple times and he says its normal but im literaly having halucinations, what should i do?
@@dudagomes3353 Talk to your doctor.
Duda Gomes talk to your doctor just to be safe, even if nothing is happening it’s better knowing you’re okay than having the risk of traumatic experiences like lucas happening
DUDE FOR REAL! I had side effects from taking an acne medication for so long. Similar psychological side effects, not as extreme but it was scary.
@Duda Gomes
don't listen to anyone who tells you hallucinations are normal!! In my experience,most doctors don't have nearly enough respect for the effects of antidepressant withdrawal. You should decrease your dosage way, way more slowly. it might be a good idea to go back up to your normal dose for now until your brain stabilizes again
Stuff like this is why mental illness needs to be taken just as seriously as physical illness
Who says physical illness is taken seriously? Both need to start to be taken seriously
Felicity
people are way more aware of the affects of physical health, not the same as mental health.
doodle Trust me they aren’t. I have physical and mental health issues and have found that doctors and everyone treat them both the exact same. There’s stigma and issues around both.
M H I have cut and try killing myself before and decided on going for medication as treatment. After all that my parents still don't think I should because there no reason to be depressed
@@felicityaeh I was born with rheumatoid arthritis and many physical disorders, and I have depression and I'm suicidal. They dont treat it the same
Brain injury’s can cause people to act irrational when people are trying to help !
She sounds as though she was pretty lit before any brain injury occurred. She's a bit manic even now...
Jean Fish from a Medical standpoint when you hit your head really hard , patients are usually harder to deal with than most.
@@KK-db2vd worked ortho- Neuro 13yrs years ...yes, I KNOW...I've been spit on, pissed on and hit hard in my chest....won't even talk about the patient who was finally returned to rehab after being caught by cops 3 miles from my facility
Reminds me of that girl locked up in a men’s prison for more than a year now she’s strapped starfish style to two beds. 🙁 she keeps being locked up cause her only way of fighting back is spitting
@@ElinWinblad What? Is this a true story? Where is this happening? I google it and can't find anything. Girl, hook me up. This will drive me nutzo until you do. Pls don't leave a Sista hanging.
Severe anxiety attacks can definitely feel like heart attacks at first which only intensifies the anxiety
I have been experiencing it all day. I keep talking myself out of going to the hospital because I know it's just my anxiety.
Cipralex helped me a lot with anxiety attacks. I don't have any panic attacks now
ChocolateLover is it a drug? Or similar to it? I’ve been feeling anxious for so long and I really need help. But I don’t want to be addicted to a medicine. My parents have kind of engraved this feeling in my brain that I’ll get addicted to any drug that I take to help my anxiety and I’m unable to shake the fear off.
@@aditi1729 i felt the same way before i started taking meds, ask your doctor specifically for a non addictive medication. I take welbutrin and cymbalta and before that took zoloft. I have a family history of addiction and was really scared of taking addictive medication, however im not having any issues and it really is helping
I suffer from severe panic attacks everyday it sucks so much
being in that dissociative state is the scariest feeling in the entire world. this story is so terrifying. glad you got through that.
kai I’ve been there. It’s hell. It’s like the wrong person took over your mind and body and you’re not in control. It feels like you’re all alone, you don’t know who you are anymore, you are not the real you anymore, negativity is what you go to, it’s much harder to go to the positive, and you can’t be in the moment like it was easier to do before.
Being stuck inside your head and body is the scariest thing to experience. I’ve had it several times.
kai ya
I’m so glad I see other people who were in a situation like mine!! I felt like it was only me who was going through something like this !! I hope everybody stays safe and is well !! I’m still going through some of my stuff but eventually I hope everything gets better!!!!!!!💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Kalani Price when you‘re in that kind of state, are you aware that you are or not at all & only realize later? all the strength to you & i hope you‘re feeling better
without the medicine being the problem, it sounds exactly like the movie “brain on fire” that’s crazy
really really late but i was just about to comment that;)
omg i was thinking about that
That’s what I was thinking omg!
i’ve never watched that solely bc i feel like it would give me an anxiety attack & this confirmed that😂
ok but that was actually was a really good movie
The scariest part is that she wasn’t even aware of how bad things were...
Agreed. I have a sister who went through something super similar and it is terrifying how little they can control at the time
I was literally prescribed Vicadin (idk how to spell it) at 15 when i got my wisdom teeth out
You usually aren't with a brain injury sadly
Lungs don't feel pain either. I had a bronchioscopy (sp?) several years ago and was given versed to relax enough to let the doctor slide the bronchioscopy tool down my trachea without coughing (insert immature oral sex joke here), but I didn't feel anything when they tore a little piece of the inside of my lung, and pulled it back out through my mouth. Brain and lungs have no feeling. Biology is amazing.
I had the same thing happen 3 weeks ago. I was on prednisone for two weeks and then 1gm of iv solumedrol for 4 days (pre treatment for a new ms med) I was having my infusions from 8 to 3 (I use a doc who js 4 hours from me bc he is the best) my sister was w me and she would drop me off in am and pick me up at 3. Thurs was my best day. I wasn't sick. The nurses were just as confused as me. It upset them but they said I was in a great mood. My sister and I went to a restaurant. I had a small disagreement w my mom but tbats just the norm. I am single parent of 3 kids. Building a brand new house. Taking this new drug which is the best. It's my third med. We went back to our hotel and it was about 430. I took my normal dose of clonazepam. Turned on the TV. My sister went to the bathroom and I remember feeling no emotions at all. I was not connected to me. I got my clonazepam and poured the entire bottle in my mouth and I remember flipping thru the TV. My sister came out of bathroom Maybe 3 mins later and I know it was only God. I believe he or maybe he assigned a angel over me and I believe that's what snapped me out of it. I told my sister." Omg. I have to tell you something. I just took my whole bottle of klononpin. I said omg why would I do that." She called 911 and I was in the unit a couple nights. Last memory I have was begging the paramedic to not let me die. I kept saying. Why did I do that. I love my life" I was released to my family and they just had to be with me at all times. Couldn't be left alone and they kept my medicine. The phychological adverse reaction takes a good 4 weeks for it to completely out of your system. It's like just 3 to 4 days where it's really severe but I still don't feel 100% myself. My daughter told me today she could tell that I was getting back to normal. Looking back there were signs that the nurses charted. But they have never had a pt that had the reaction I did. They all felt horrible and keep reassuring me that I am not crazy. It literally happens. It just is so scary bc I remember taking the pills and I wasn't sad or upset. I felt empty. It's so hard to explain. Mentally I have struggled bc I am a nurse and it's been very hard to process all this
You were very brave to post this, Luca. Remember, we're here for you.
Luca, I went through something similar. I was violent, tearing out tubes and was restrained. I couldn’t speak for 21 days. I will never forget my first hot shower! This post brought tears to my eyes. I’m so glad and grateful that we both survived! Please, enjoy your life!
OMG Julie I am so sorry! I pray you are so much better now
It must have been kinda nostalgic (not in the best way), that's strong!
it hit different when she said “i think that’s really what makes a person tough, when your only option is to be tough”. glad you’re okay!❤️
Kaitlin Somers but not tough enough to pee with somebody watching.
I just here asking myself why they drove to the hospital instead of calling an ambulance and then I remember that they are from the US.
yup. the system is broken
An ambulance ride is like 3000 USD
heyyysav a friend had called an ambulance from me, we were 5 minutes from the hospital (not even kidding, it’s just down the street) and it was 1k
@@lookattmehnow A life is not more important than money. Idgaf what anyone says.
heyyysav huh???
imagine if she didn’t post this guys... we would NEVER know! but i’m glad ur ok luca!! for someone who’s so selfless, genuine, and kind i would’ve never thought this could happen to you ! but i’m so so glad ur okay and i’m always here for u! ur so confident and don’t care what others think, and u just live life so purely. i admire that, and whew now i’m crying while typing this! but thank u for everything
omg i didn’t know this comment got so many likes 😭
Fun fact: the brain doesn’t feel pain it only processes it. The reason is it doesn’t have those type of receptors. The pain of headaches is actually in the meninges that protect the brain.
Well.... thats not fun
Wow, I never knew that
@Allison Hunter holy crap, this is great to know, I always wonder why ppl are awake during brain surgery.
@@ShayVidz Yup, and if someone is say... musically inclined, they'll even sometimes have the individual play an instrument like a guitar during brain surgery, so as to keep intact the parts of the brain that have to do with the music.
cool, I have often wondered about this
It’s crazy that they are prescribing oxy to teens after wisdom teeth removal.....
I got my wisdoms and 4 other premolars out on tuesday and they only gave me 20 ibuprofen 800, and 6 acetaminophen codeine pills.
I got minor leg surgery and they gave me at least 30 hydrocodone pills (really didn’t need any). I took one and knew they weren’t for me after the reaction I got. I knew if I kept taking those I would get addicted from the way they made me feel
i got foxy after foot surgery and it advil was stronger and helped more
i got oxy after tonsil removal surgery (i was 14)
it makes ZERO sense. most people don’t need even hydros when they get their wisdom teeth out, dependent on how opioid naive they are. obviously pains different from person to person and there are some people that need something like oxy. a lot of young opiate addiction starts there.
hypersensitivity can honestly be the scariest thing in the world when you’re experiencing it
I experience it everyday.
sensory overload is terrifying, i can't imagine what it must be like to live with it often. :(
Yeah it only happens to me when I have a lot of anxiety and it sucks.
Literally someone would just move their water glass or whatever and I’d be triggered and want to shut my ears and hide in a corner.
But I have to repress these feelings because, well, it’s dramatic lolz
so many of my friends end up leaving because they think i’m dramatic:( but they don’t understand
Yes
Seems like an adverse reaction to a medication. I wonder why doctor wasn’t contacted earlier. She needed to be seen way before she even split her head. Glad she is okay.
I don’t think she knew. It was something that was happening coming off of like three diff meds
No. It's called WITHDRAWAL.
Jane Doe X what are you even replying to ?
@@tatyana137 she was replying to your original comment... @Jane Doe X is saying "it wasn't an adverse reaction, it was medication withdrawal". Which isn't entirely obvious to the average person, hence why a doctor wasn't contacted earlier.
Adverse reactions from a medication?

First world problems...
Why did TH-cam keep recommending this video to me until I watched it 🤦
Most of the story was completely irrelevant to the story SIGH*
@@Raven.13 girl why you ranting one a reply section of a comment, at least comment on the actual comment section and pray people don't drag you so hard
Getting a kit kat ad before this video was a little unpleasant
tAkE a BrEaK
Why?
“Give me a break.” Yeah, slightly inappropriate.
So what would have been a good ad of choice? Who cares. It’s a commercial. Move along and skip it.
Anna Wixom It’s the break bit of the ad...
the part about her falling backwards and her head cracking open is so scary
Happened to me when i got hit by a car couple months ago, got away with just a little brain bleeding and a minal skull fracture but the bloody hair and how exhausted she looked really threw me back. Had that too, it is scary, it is weird, it is hard to recover from
This has been recommended to me for weeks, and I finally gave in. But oh my god, this was terrifying and heartbreaking to hear.
God bless. You’re so strong for telling this story. The most high was looking out for you.
“treated me like a human” how everyone should be treated regardless of what’s going on. I am in the medical field and I can’t tell you how many times i’ve heard docs, nurses, etc talk bad about patients and it’s very discouraging so i’m glad there’s still people in this field that truly care. best wishes ❤️
Ug isnt it so frustrating?! I appreciate your sincerity in the field
This is the reason that I moved into the lab to run tests...after 8 years as a CNA, I got sick of dealing with the other employees who acted like that. I loved taking care of people, but I can't handle that attitude from others anymore. It makes me angry.
That's what makes me feel very self conscious, stressed out and embarrassed about getting help from doctors and nurses. I always feel some embarrassed about what some of these "professionals" would say about me or other patients it just makes me wish I could leave and go home as soon as possible.
its so sad that in my most vulnerable state, i also have to be worried about being judged by the people who are supposed to help me :(
I have a niece who talks bad about her patients, now she is a coordinator for those needing organs. She disgust me because she’s in it for the money and not the compassion. No way, would I want her to be in charge of my needs. When you get a compassionate nurse be grateful because many are in it for a lucrative career.
I’m sorry but the “sitter” was probably worried because god forbid you did hurt yourself she’d be liable
Jordan Carti yeah it’s literally their job to have their eyes on you 24/7 but it’s hard for a patient to understand that and want some privacy. Sometimes the sitter has had bad experiences with other patients and maybe had someone try to hurt themselves or fall off the toilet when they allowed them privacy and closed the door. Everything is for your safety!
especially when everyone (patients) are so sue happy these days
I did mention she was doing her job, but I was telling the story through my own experience
Jordan Carti she literally almost died and this is what you comment...
true but you can definitely do your job but be kind.
A nursing student here: Having adverse drug reactions such as this should be reported in some way, which I hope has been done since you were admitted to hospital. Pharmaceuticals are constantly being trialed (even when they are widely clinically used). You won't be sued for naming the generic name of the drug, as the company will not be associated. If people have bad experiences with a drug, it may need to be removed from the market. Always ask questions about the drugs that you are prescribed. I'm so glad that you are okay and were able to access care at that moment
Ella Mac I am a psychiatric nurse in a behavioral hospital and I second this!!!
Ella Mac as a pharm d I really appreciate this comment
In the UK we’d submit a yellow form from the back of the BNF!
Very huge and important point. I had a very rare psychotic side effect to a really common allergy prescription. I went to a few doctors and they thought it was just stress and my brain. I couldn't eat, had night terrors, and suicidal thoughts, plus generalized anxiety. None of which I experienced consistantly till I took the pills. When finally I ended up in hospital and called the prescribing physician I found out that it was the allergy pill. They gave me i.v. to lesson the symptoms @ hospital, stopped the meds., and called the drug company and f.d.a. the minute I felt better because I did NOT want anyone to go through the same thing. Very important.
I used to be a nurse, now studying social work. I too also highly recommend reporting it, it’ll only help other people!
I once had to take tamiflu for influenza A, I already had anxiety but I experienced suicidal thoughts whilst I was taking tamiflu and it scared me - Ironically I have health anxiety so that definitely wasn’t my proper thought pattern!
The dislikes are the people who manufactured the DRUG
okay, but honestly there are SIDE EFFECTS for EVERY drug. It is common. Every body reacts to drugs differently.
@@simplyboppingK Yah 😇
Why did u put drug in all caps lmao?
Big Pharma. All pharmaceuticals. Only all natural is what we need.. Fruits, herbs, seeds, grains etc.
@B. G. Yupp :) You're awesome.
I had to take so many deep breaths during this.
chelsea rose me too lol
Hard to watch.
💗
Medical student here. You bring an absolutely important message about how side effects are nothing to joke about or ignore. Thank you for your strength to share and clear explanation of everything you went though ❤️
I had a TBI also.
Watching a (I assume) neurotypical person talking about dealing with psychosis, suicidal thoughts and anxiety out of nowhere is scary. I deal with that most days and I'm used to it. Breakdowns are scary enough when you know what's coming. Feel for you, sis. You're super strong!
I used to take seroquel for insomnia. It looked just like another medication I used to take so one night after being up until 2AM studying, I took what I thought was the other med, but was actually a quadruple dose of seroquel. I hallucinated for 3 days and could barely get out of bed. Suffice it to say I dumped the seroquel in the toilet after that!! Honestly I can only imagine what it’s like going through that for months or years.
Ivy that is scary!! I have a sister who is currently going through the same thing. Just know that you're stronger than you think. You got this girl!
@@stephelisabeth3143 i was just recently in a psychosis for 3 days. It was scary. It was from a medicine to help with cough from having a sinus infection and pneumonia. It takes up to 3 days for it to get out your system. The only thing that got me out of it was the klonopin i was prescribed temporarily.
"What makes a person tough is when your only option is to be tough" i love this!
Yeah, that's me!
Until one day you break.
@@heide-raquelfuss5580 if you never deal with any of the things emotionally.
I could barely watch those videos at the beginning. It made me so sad to see someone so kind have to struggle and deal with that. All the love to you Luca!
you described drug induced psychosis to a tee. my boyfriend went through this, ended up biking for eight hours to another city and didn’t tell anyone, and didn’t remember it. he thankfully got help and is just as good as you’re doing now. so glad you got help when you could ♥️ this was really moving
Gill S hi I believe that my boyfriend had a drug induced psychosis because he would trip on acid every few weeks and one week he did it and it went south and he jumped off our balcony her story reminded me a lot of what her story was except it only happened when he tripped, how did your boyfriend get help? My boyfriends been in the hospital and now he’s in therapy to learn to walk. Sorry for so much info I honestly have been wondering what could have happened to him that day and I finally have something that could possibly be it
Sophia Castro was he suicidal or just the drugs drove him to jump?
Alyssa Faith not suicidal he loved his life and was very happy he explained what she did in the video she said it wasn’t like her but she heard a voice and did it
Gill S wonder if mass shooters are on these drugs
@@hellokitty323554972 hey sophia! sorry, just got this notification. that's absolutely horrible, and i urge you to voice your concerns to him about his drug use. in my situation, it was thankfully just thc induced psychosis. he immediately went cold turkey, his parents brought him to an amazing kid's hospital here in canada, and he has been working towards full recovery ever since. this all happened last march... he's hit a few bumps in the road but recovery isn't linear and what matters is that hes TRYING and he actually wanted to get better. the #1 thing is to get support. he's now on medication for hypomania (he found out it runs in his family) and has been sober for 9 months now:)
absolutely mind blowing that they can just give these opioids/muscle relaxers to young people. Look at what you went through getting your wisdom teeth out? And they're wondering how to stop the epidemic. Imagine if the voice told you to get more drugs. I'm so sorry for you, but even more so, I'm mad
Some people need pain medication to just get out of bed because of chronic pain, and yes chronic pain and chronic illness happens to many young people as well. Don’t be mad at doctors prescribing these meds. You’d be surprised at how many docs wont prescribe them or how hard it can be for pain patients to get the right medication because of the effect the opioid epidemic has had on doctors and how they prescribe meds. Some people have no choice but to be on opioid medications - its either that or suffer in pain all the time, which starts to break you down mentally. Same with muscle relaxers, which are not controlled meds like opioids, but some people need them to function as well. All doctors are trying to do is help and reduce pain & suffering. Stopping the opioid epidemic doesn’t start with not prescribing opioids - they’ve already tried that and all that has done has made chronic pain patients have a very difficult time getting the meds they need to live just like everyone else functions and lives their life. Theres a whole other side to the opioid epidemic, which is chronic pain patients getting taken off their meds or not a strong enough dose and sadly, it has resulted in many suicides because of the pain people deal with. Try and have some understanding as to why doctors prescribe these meds... to reduce pain and suffering, if thats only after surgery or if thats for chronic pain patients. Stopping the opioid epidemic will never come from taking these meds away... it will be reduced or hopefully stopped through healing addicts and getting to the root of their suffering and addiction.
Sarah H. I’m a chronic illness sufferer, and i can tell you NOBODY advocates for getting on opiates in the first place for their pain no matter how badly you are suffering. They will ruin your life and make your pain tolerance even worse. This is the oddest comment i have ever read, there are many more options for people with chronic pain that aren’t opiates. They’re for acute pain, not chronic.
Michaela Rose I am a chronic pain patient and deal with a progressive neurodegenerative disease - I agree with you that many people are not necessarily an advocates for using opioids, but there are some people who need pain medication to just live a normal life (me being one of them). It does matter how bad someone is suffering, when you are so debilitated from pain and have exhausted all options - trust me from my experience, there is no other option for some and doctors see that as well. I don’t necessarily agree with demonizing opioids as they are a life saving medication for some people. If I wasn’t on my pain medication I would have no life (even though I still suffer physically) and would be in pain 24/7. While it may seem like an “odd” comment to you, I was speaking from my perspective and I get a tad bit frustrated when people “demonize” or look down on prescription opioids. They are not a bad medication, its just the misuse of them and the stigma that makes people think they are.
I also do not agree that they are for acute pain only, as I said there are many people who don’t have much of a choice but to use this medication, as it is the only thing that gets them out of bed bc of their pain. Everyones situation is completely different and each pain patient deserves an individualized approach, which may or may not include opioid medication. But I can tell you that there are so many people whos chronic pain condition is treated with pain meds and that is their only option for actual pain relief. Also just because someone is on pain meds doesn’t mean that they haven’t tried other therapies or are using other non-medication therapies that alleviate their pain. Keep in mind that chronic illness and chronic pain are very different and each persons experience is different. I speak from the perspective of a chronic pain patient, try and keep that in mind and try and see the side of a chronic pain patient. I apologize for the long comment, just wanted you to see my side of things.
Many blessings to you and I hope you find healing for your chronic illness ❤️💞❤️
Sarah H. Sorry that you are in such pain. But Luca was recovering from wisdom teeth removal. She should have never been given this type of medication
Alex Cagou Typically you’re prescribed T3’s after wisdom teeth removal. I am really surprised if she was prescribed more than that. I’m also surprised that she took them for so long, unless she went to her dental surgeon for a follow up and they were prescribed for that length. It’s a really terrible situation, it could have been completely avoided. Serotonin Syndrome happens when you take two medications that interact and cause too much serotonin to build up in your brain. A good pharmacist should catch the interaction if the medications were prescriptions filled at a pharmacy.
(This coming from a chronically ill patient who uses prescribed pain medication daily including medications that can cause serotonin syndrome)
I had a sever anxiety attack to the point where they called an ambulance thinking I was having a heart attack, I didn't know it was anxiety till after at the hospital. I truly thought i was about to die.
that's a panic attack, not anxiety attack :)
Please please please continue to see a therapist/psychologist just to have someone to debrief to. Your mental well-being is so important ❤️
Aw hun that feeling of anxiety and not being able to escape it and the scary thoughts I know what you mean💛 so glad you’re doing better now this all sounds so awful
Oh my god! How can 1K people dislike this? What where they expecting? Some soft story about her head bleed? Oh hell nah! She clearly said in the beginning that this was going to be raw. I give her all the support she needs especially for being strong and brave enough to share her story.
I had a similar story but only the whole hit my head thing and a long visit to the hospital. It was so hard to get people to understand on the leave that I did.
It's more it's terrifying for her.
She is very lucky to have had family there for her to “be strong” because not everyone is so lucky. Now with that being said, since this is such a “trigger” topic, and it was out of this world crazy for her, I would have had a lot more sympathy and empathy for her, had she not been rolling her eyes for people doing their job, to keep her safe. And most people have a “mental break” from being strong when for so long when there is no other option... Just something to consider. I’m not trying to blow up her world, or make it sound like I don’t have any sympathy, but if you aren’t used to taking those types of medications in the first place (her parents probably should have chimed in on this one..) then the minute you start having weird responses, you go to the doctor or you call one. Being prideful and “type A” can get in the way of your all together health and wellness. I wish her well and hope that she is able to grow and move past these traumatic occasions in her life.
I think some people rate thumbs down because they are upset about the situation (meds, snippy nurse, parenting style, etc), not at her. I voted thumbs up because I appreciate her sharing her vulnerabilities. 💕
when you were talking about music and sounds and everything being sensitive, that’s called sensory overload.
Not in her case.
Sometimes I get goosebumps all over my body when I touch anything because the textures. It hurt so much because even my clothes would give me goosebumps and having them for hours at a time hurts really. Is that sensory overload?
Katie Stevens yes in her case? Lmao. Saying it’s sensory overload isn’t a diagnosis, it’s the name of the symptom she was trying to describe and couldn’t find words for. It can occur with just about every mental issue you can have, and some people with entirely normal psychology otherwise experience it as well. It’s just the word for the symptom.
Dream _er you should go to a doctor. I’ve never heard of goosebumps hurting, even in people with sensory perception issues. It sounds almost like you’ve got something wrong with your goosebumps, not your sensory processing
Moosessurus well I feel it’s sensory because almost every thing I touch causes that feeling like someone scratching a chalk board
Crazy story reminds me of the girl who wrote brain on fire
Abigail B i really thought that was what happened to her
Not even close but ok lol
So sorry this happened, I also had a really bad experience with a muscle relaxer from a car accident and I had a really bad comedown and overdose and was throwing up constantly.
I couldn't imagine having to pee in front of a nurse. I'd never be able to, pee shyness is actually such a difficult thing to deal with
Georgia imagine being on probation, they don’t even leave the stall 😂 rip
Ehhhh I know from experience.
When you’re drugged up at a hospital, you don’t give too shits if someone else is standing there. I never even realized they were. But I know how you feel. I can’t even pee with the door open alone in my own apartment. I have to close the door or else nothin is gonna happen.
From my own experiences (which both were worse than just peeing in front of nurses) yes. It is scary, awkward and uncomfortable. But honestly, you have to just go with it for your own health..
Georgia after I got back surgery, I had to have nurses help me with EVERYTHING for a few days. With the pain I was in, I couldn’t care less about them watching me pee lol. All privacy just went out the window 😂
The older you get the easier it is.
Props to you for sharing your story and being so strong it was honestly so educational and inspiring to hear your journey. Keep recovering, you got this Luca 💗
It’s crazy watching this and thinking, oh I’ve spent literally like 5 straight days disassociating and not thought twice about it because I’ve lived with anxiety and depression for a majority of my life. I can see where it would be scary to experience that very suddenly for the first time, I just forget that there are people with normal brain chemistry in the world.
The Grad School Guru same. i don’t disassociate as much as i used to because i’m on mood stabilizers that keep my bipolar pretty great but sometimes i do and i’m like oh well it’s happening. it’s so strange to me that people just...have normal lives
Yea like I forget other people don’t go through this stuff on the daily. Like when she said she was kinda manic that just sounded normal to me lol
yea
literally same
EXACTLY! It’s weird to me but at the same time I’m like thinking to myself what would it be like to have normal brain chemistry.
i underestimated you. periodt.
StaniKONandGIRLGROUPS how is “periodt” black slang
madeline riddle lmao my question exactly
@@madelineriddle1090 period has been a saying for a decade or so now. Just not with the stupid t at the end.
StaniKONandGIRLGROUPS what are you on
StaniKONandGIRLGROUPS just because it’s slang doesn’t make it black slang
Sleep deprivation in itself can cause psychosis. It's really serious. Thank you for being brave enough to share your story. Most of us have or will experience some level of mental health issues in our lifetime..people are just afraid to talk about it.
Why are they giving kids that for their wisdom teeth? The us healthcare system is broken
Exactly in Spain they gave me ibuprofen and an ice pack! There’s absolutely no need for anything else if it hurts you suck it up.
Its insanity that they even give Tylenol-Codeine-3s let alone opioids for something like teeth removal! Way too strong especially for someone so young. It’s honestly because the pharmaceutical companies profit so much off of it.
Im from the us and thought giving opioids was normal after surgery. Oh well its up to the person or parents to take the drugs or not. I heal pretty easy so i never took pain meds after leaving the hospital.
I had eye surgery a few months ago and thank goodness they gave me the oxy. It was the only thing that took away the intense pain
When I had my wisdom teeth pulled when I was 18 they gave my Percocet. I took it for a couple days. I don’t think I could have gotten by with over the counter meds because at the time it was the worst pain I’d ever felt in my life. When the anesthesia wore off when I got home I was balling. Since then the only pain I’ve had that was worse was wrist surgery (this time I was prescribed Vicodin. On day 3 I wanted to go to class so I tried taking tramadol instead. And it did NOTHING 😂)
That is so scary how you stood up on your bed and fell backwards 🥺 literally gave me goosebumps! As somebody who has had multiple brain injuries/ surgeries ., I am so glad you’re doing better and had such a speedy recovery girl! A higher power really was looking over you.
It almost sounds like a manic/dissociative episode combined with a concussion..? I’m not a professional but I have borderline personality disorder and I get episodes like this every so often where I’m just split from reality and everything is weird and feels not real.
Emily Ann I’m bipolar and this sounds like mania. I’ve done this a bunch especially in high school. I’ve had triggered psychotic breaks from stress. Sounds to me like she might have been triggered by pain and that stalker situation. She needs to keep going to get mental help.
Emily Ann Where did you get your degree? Well your doctorate? I think you should DEFINATELY leave this up to professionals.
@@JL-iu7fk she literally said she's not a professional. She's allowed to have an opinion on the video. Don't be a dick
I must give this experience for your thoughts, I am currently withdrawing from a serotonin inhibitor drug and literally the anxiety attacks and saying your fine but your going crazy is exactly what I'm experiencing as well I am still on a low dose so it's not to this extent but they severely stress not to cut these drugs cold Turkey because they are soo dangerous example. Her situation.
@@mic.maccxx So many people enjoy dick .
Oh man the dreads.i had to cut all my hair off once after admission to hospital cause nobody thot to brush my hair.ALWAYS BRUSH THE HAIR FOR SOMEONE.
She had staples there! So they couldn't brush that section !
I worked in ICU and it’s crazy how quickly people’s hair tangle up. Our first focus is saving people’s lives so the hair is usually secondary. I have definitely put people with long hair up in a braid or something but I’ve had people whose hair tangled up like that in a day or two. It always surprised me
Yes, hospitals should keep hairbrushes on hand.
I really have contemplated just going bald so many times with the amount of times I’ve had to painstakingly brush out my deeply matted hair after a bad episode. Sigh. I really don’t think I could pull it off.
@@ashtaylor4107 I'm dealing with matted hair right now and am so embarrassed and humiliated. I've been sick and in and out of the hospital and have been just to sick to deal with my hair. I wish I knew of somewhere to go for help.
Frontal lobe is associated with personality changes, so i wonder if her personality has changed at all since she bled
Interesting
a comment like this could increase her anxiety...
I’m sure drs have explained everything to her. She’s been in and out of the hospital
frontal lobe regulates memories, behavior, and cognitive functioning. I doubt personality changes would happen. She has experienced anxiety and it manifests itself in shocking ways. That’s going to change anyone
@@debsahappyfrog1 look it up, the frontal lobe is associated with emotions, it's extremely well known to cause personality changes, disinhibition, aggrivation etc in ischaemic strokes to the frontal lobe as well as haemorrhages.
YOU ARE ONE BRAVE WOMAN FOR POSTING THIS. I PRAY YOU GET BETTER. 🤞🤞🙂
I can't believe her parents let her drive in that state🤦♀️
Anna s her parents didn’t know what was wrong with her, they were confused and probably didn’t know it was that serious.
It’s nothing wrong with her parents I’m sure if you were in that situation you probably wouldn’t think nothing of it at first since she was a perfectly healthy and active girl before this
Exactly
Okay but don’t place all the blame on the parents
Dissociative states are very scary. I’ve been there where my anxiety is just at its max levels and the only thing I can do is just sit there with it because sometimes it’s so bad that I can’t concentrate on anything but that anxiety and I zone out. I don’t know how to explain it. No one would ever know if I had an anxiety attack unless I told them. I don’t hyperventilate or cry or anything like that. It’s like I’m completely fine on the outside but on the inside I’m screaming.
Rach Marie Sameee. I have had major panic attacks in crowds and around other people and even though it feels like everyone knows i am having a panic attack at the time, no one actually knows because i panic on the inside and basically show no symptoms on the outside except for maybe shaking. it is such a strange feeling to be in such a panicked state and everyone else just continues on like normal. i usually have to separate myself from people until my panic attack is over and when i tell people that i have just had an attack it almost always surprises them. after an attack is over i usually end up crying though bc of how overwhelming it is but that’s about it.
Brooke I don’t get uncomfortable in crowds. I don’t really know what my trigger is because I’ll be fine one second and then the next I’m just panicking for no reason.
That's how my anxiety manifests too @Rach Marie.
Same. I’ve learned to hide it so well that no one has a clue unless I tell them most of the time. My anxiety peaked when my thyroid went nuts after I had my second kid. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and I had intense anxiety and panic attacks that would trigger an irregular heartbeat so that was fun. Took probably a good 2-3 months for me to stop feeling like I’d rather die than be that anxious. It was bad. It’s back to being more manageable now. *knock on wood* I’ve had anxiety for as long as I can remember really so it’s pretty “normal” for me to have it quite often and a panic attack on occasion. My mom had it really bad too. She never left the house, stopped driving when I was around 10 years old, and self medicated with alcohol and cigarettes which eventually killed her. She was a wonderful person despite her issues though.
K Bux I’m so sorry about your mom.😢❤️ I’m so used to anxiety because I’m at constant state of it that I don’t even notice it unless it gets really bad. I’ve never had my thyroid checked. That could be a major link to why my anxiety skyrockets and it’s usually for no reason. I don’t have phobias of anything, I don’t have PTSD. It’s just happens for no reason
addictive drugs need to be tapered down not abruptly stopped, doctors should of advised you. your neurotransmitters can get really screwed up from drug withdrawals...poor you not a fun experience to go through. i was on sedatives for sleeping and had to taper off for a couple of months slowly as the withdrawals were horrible!
I’m trying to taper off of my benzo perscription and it’s proving to be a godawful nightmare. I just want it to be over. Congratulations on successfully titrating off of your medicine! It’s so frustrating and painful
kari c good luck!💕
@@gelitrippingkiddo5907 switching to valium can make it easier if you're not already on it
Nicki if shtf ever happens get out of the cities as massive abrupt stopping of medications is gonna be crazy
Vani :) thank you lovely person!
the heart attack feeling you were having is probably because you were about to have a panic attack..most people that have them experience that feeling. im glad you are sharing your experience, the feelings you were having of harming yourself many people experience that everyday. i think you definitely reached a lot of people telling us your story. i love your bravery, thank you ❤️
The heart feeling could also have to do with the med affecting her heart or be costochondritis
Victoria Bernhart I’ve dealt with chostochondritis my whole life! Since I was in the 2nd grade actually. For me it’s caused by anxiety and stress.
@@courtneyfink5880 I've had it for 5 years myself
Courtney Fink I’ve had it for around 3 years because I’m growing but I also have anxiety so I didn’t know that could cause it too
I’m sure her doctors let her know about all of this 😁 I would hope so anyway!!
The part of her saying just watching Netflix is painful.. the fact that she feels she always has to be busy.. that’s a trauma response. I hope you’re on a healing journey and bettering yourself. Keep goin strong 💪🏼
Can you explain what you mean?
Tess Johnson I’m assuming you know what a trauma response means (let me know if not, I can explain that too😊) I think what they’re saying is that the fact that she feels like she always has to be busy is so her thoughts can’t go back to the trauma. I also have this problem as a trauma response and from my own experience it’s so my brain stays occupied and stays distracted from the intrusive thoughts and thinking about my trauma. I hope I explained it well enough!
I don't think so, she said she was like that before everything, and that it was difficult to her to pause everything when she had the injury.
I also can't watch a whole movie without doing 1 or 2 other things while it's on.
I don’t have a TV because I don’t like watching it 🤷♀️
aww Luca I’m actually crying the fact that u care so much about helping other people to share this story really means a lot I’m praying for u❤️
That's the sitters job. Bathtubs are where patients will usually "try" things. I would have done the same. You're license and a patient's life is on the line.
Crystallized exactly
But the issue is how the sitter was treating her like less than human, or less worthy of compassion and understanding.
i woulda been like “aight, how’s about i turn around in the bathroom?”

PYes ouroououuo
Yeah I’m in Australia, I’m surprised she wasn’t given instructions to taper the medication, and given such a strong medication for more than a week- here we get codeine, or paracetamol
That was my first thought too! Taper off the medication! Never go cold turkey!
I've never been given information to taper anything other than steroids (I have extremely bad asthma so I'm on steroids a lot to reduce inflammation). I've also only been prescribed strong pain meds once after an intense throat surgery, everything else (3 surgeries) I've been given prednisone and an antibiotic. Idk if that's normal for everyone because I have low blood pressure and side effects of opioids include low blood pressure. But when my uncle complains about any pain at all he gets morphine so idk why theres such a different reaction when hes perfectly healthy and I deal with a lot of chronic pain due to my disorder.
Usama rafieck yes, it can make you very ill, and it is extremely addictive. I was given the option to get it, and my mother (a pharmacy dispenser) refused because of the side effects.
@@usamarafieck1715 yes. Constipation mainly. Im on it long term for chronic pain management. I use it sparingly as and when required
It can be addictive, and with any medication you shouldnt go cold turkey if using it regularly.
Australian here too, I've been given (strong) medication without proper instructions before, I went through extremely bad withdrawals.
When your mom was washing out the blood from your hair, I felt such a love and gratefulness for my mom. I have a traumatic brain injury and had a brain bleed in October 22 (2013). I struggled and still do deeply with mental health. I have never related to something so much wow. Thankyou for sharing your story. Keep strong, be patient with yourself. This is something that changes your life but you are so right: when you’re forced to be tough, it makes you tough. Stay tough. Xoxo xoxo
I really felt sorry for her.
I glad you're doing better now ❤
look up "fencing response" - it's a classic symptom of concussion. having a stiff arm? yup that was totally a concussion.
It's not a sign of a concussion it's a brain stem reflex when the brain lacks oxygen.
It's videos like these that make me wish there was a "love video" option
Whoa!! I know you. Lol. Dude i never found someone I know in the comments.
I’m so sorry this happened to you. The whole time watching it I just kept thinking about how you must of felt during it all, such a horrible experience for you ! Glad you’re better now, keep having faith and trust in the universe and God. We love you Luca and love to your family 💕
Sue the drug company to get reimbursed from the hospital fees and trama you received! If that is a side effect of getting off of it they need to take responsibility.
J Fox it’s called side effects
She can’t sue the drug company, she stopped taking very strong medications cold turkey after being on them for a good period of time which caused withdrawal symptoms. When you are on strong pain meds and muscle relaxers for more than a week you have to taper off of them because your body gets used to having the medications. Just like an alcoholic who stops drinking and end up hallucinating.
J Fox she wouldn’t win if she sued the drug company. She stopped taking strong prescription medications completely cold turkey when all meds like that clearly have labeled that to stop them it just be done under direction of MD and usually involves slowly coming off of them
She would never win. Big Pharma has more money than you can imagine.
Strong medications like those come with a label that tell you not to abruptly stop taking it without consulting a physician. She wouldn't win the case.
Panic attacks can feel exactly like heart attacks and then that makes the anxiety worse

My grandma was in the hospital last week due to serotonin syndrome.. more people need to be educated on this!
How is she? My brother in law was on antidepressants and was asking me questions about serotonin syndrome.
Being Better she is doing better. At first her body went into shock and she couldn’t mover her body for almost 2 days and was out of it. She was on antidepressants along diabetic medication, and medication for her back and knee problems. They said it was from the antidepressants though. They had to cut all her dosage in half and she is adjusting. It took them to figure out what it was because sadly enough doctors aren’t educated about it either.
@@Pineave0612 I'm really glad she's doing better. Knowledge is power and education is key. Antidepressants can cause serotonin syndrome and the muscle rigidity can lead to death. I keep myself educated on as much as I can.
I take sunflower lecithin, a supplement to improve memory and cognitive function. Too much of it, or combining it with antidepressants, could cause serotonin syndrome. I did a video about it
th-cam.com/video/TfT7kAPuq3k/w-d-xo.html
Glad she's better and they caught it in time. Sad that Drs are often uneducated about various things.
@goduskychris Chris Godusky anti depressants react with a crazy amount of medicines and supplements and its based on timing/ accumulation.
Hope she is okay, that shit is so scary
Flexeril Psychiatric Side Effects: “Nervousness, confusion, disorientation, insomnia, depressed mood, anxiety, agitation, psychosis, abnormal thinking and dreaming, hallucinations, excitement”
Elizabeth0350 I get about half of these on flexeril. Flexeril helps me a lot with pain but I hate taking it because of how it makes me feel. I can't take it in the morning because then the entire day is ruined
Oh crap im screwed
Andalyn I would consult your doctor if you're worried about having any of these symptoms. Some people have good experiences with flexeril, but almost everyone I know that's taken it had to stop because it made them miserable after a while, myself included
I never had a single symptom on Flexeril. Not even muscle relaxation, which is what it's for. Everyone reacts differently.
Flexeril didn't help me at all, but thankfully I've found a muscle relaxer that does. It's called Robaxin, aka Methocarbomal.
I've had similar dissociative feelings from anxiety. It's absolutely terrible. Hard to do anything

As someone with severe anxiety who's experienced heart palpitations, hypersensitivity, and disassociative episodes listening to you talk about this just gave me the worst feeling, like I started feeling panic and the thought of being in that head space is terrifying, I almost didn't make it through the video. I've had some pretty dark thoughts cross my mind but I've never been compromised to the point of not being able to know I shouldn't act on them, but the thought that it could happen as easily as being prescribed a wrong drug is just so unsettling to me. I'm honestly a little nauseous I'm so disturbed and upset. I'm so glad you're ok, and made it through it and had people who were there for you. And I thank you for being brave enough to talk about this and make so many people aware of how dangerous situations like this can be, even when it's "all in our heads". The mind is a powerful thing and sometimes you can't beat it.
I’m glad there are people here in the comments who understand because I didn’t think there were !!!!!!!!!Stay safe 💕💕
Same!! This was very hard and upsetting for me to watch. I felt sick to my stomach imagining going through what she did. I’m glad it was a happy ending
Glad I read this before watching I think I might not now
This is exactly how I felt. I was in this state for a little more than a year and I didn't know how to stop it. When listening to this I had to stop halfway through and I am just coming back to it two months later. Whenever I think about it or talk about it I start to feel the same way again and idk how to get rid of it..
Plus I went to the doctors and he brushed it off as stress :(
