Unmitigated Disaster

Lyr | 40s | they/them | My blog is a mess. I post about fandom, animal stuff, sometimes yell about my autism/ADHD, chronic illness, and disability rights. I am terrible about remembering to tag things, fair warning. It's not on purpose my brain is just crap. Sticking my foot in my mouth? Same deal. | ao3: SoongTypeDisaster and keldabe-kriff

Hello sudden influx of new followers.

I assume a lot of you came from that one dog post.

Welcome and/or I'm sorry. 🤣

Here you will find such things as

depressionposting

occasional fandom trash that I accidentally reblogged on main

fandom trash I reblogged on main on purpose

more depressionposting

a lot of screaming at my own body for not functioning properly

also probably a lot of complaining about medication side effects because I am side effects georg

bugs

reblogs of cool ass animals

even more depressionposting

full on stream of consciousness bullshit when my brain decides it is not going to filter a damn thing

barking about stupid shit Ohio is doing

live blogged panic attacks

did you guess more depressionposting? yay! more depressionposting! 😂

me lampooning my own depressionposting because what else can I do but laugh about this shit when treatment hasn't worked?

sometimes a take photos of shit in my yard

also sometimes I draw things

poetry that I think is kind of mid but other people seem to like so maybe it's not so bad actually

also lots of oversharing

If you want only the fandom trash can stuff without all the baggage (or... okay not without it just with less of it) I do have a sideblog for that @keldabe-kriff. Go nuts show nuts whatever the sideblog is where my 18+ shit goes for whatever meager allowances this site makes for that.

Of course all the lunch bags supply packs Aldiirn puts together for the team come with a happy meal toy personalized doodad to brighten each person's day. Also, having the worst day ever won't stop him from putting together a 5-star prison escape experience.

Reminds me of Jason Kander, former Missouri Secretary of State. When he went to the VA hospital to treat his PTSD, he told the nurse that Obama told him he should run for president, and she thought he was delusional.

[charlesoberonn]

Correction: It was worse. She asked him how long he's been hearing voices.

[therapyhorrorstories]

I think I'm gonna make this my go-to story. It's not the worst I've ever heard, which is an asset because people won't believe you if you tell them the actual bad stuff those people do. And it just perfectly sums up the casual arrogance everyone working in mental health seems to have. The way they treat you as inherently Lesser for being in their care.

[therapyhorrorstories]

If they can't even handle basic, easily verified shit like "I'm a lawyer" they are never going to believe you when you tell them that you know how to manage a condition you've been dealing with for decades better than they can or will.

And then there's Alexander Morris, who was put in a straitjacket, called racial slurs, and denied treatment for his potentially life-threatening heart condition when he told them he was the lead singer of the band he was lead singer of.

Four Tops singer sues hospital alleging racial discrimination after he says he was placed in a ‘restraining jacket’ | CNN

The lead singer of the Motown group the Four Tops has filed a federal lawsuit against Ascension Macomb Oakland Hospital in Warren, Michigan,

[plum-soup]

There are multiple parts of that article that are Jae droppingly awful but this one really gets me:

They almost let this man die in a straight jacket simply because they were too racist. And then when they realize their "mistake", they tell him that his life is worth a 25$ supermarket gift card. Of course he's suing them for $75,000 as he should but like. Can you imagine how insulted he must've been. The 4 Tops were one of the top Motown bands of all time. You can be at the top of the music scene and still, they'll kill you because you're black. And they'll use fake claims about mental illness and "aggression" to justify it

[genderkoolaid]

& to be clear: none of this is good for anyone. actually delusional people, people who actually hear voices or see things, do not deserve to be treated like this. there is nothing about a person harmlessly believing something fantastical (or which sounds fantastical to you) that requires you to put them in a straightjacket and drug them or deny them necessary drugs. Black mentally ill people do not deserve to be tortured and murdered in a hospital for being Black and mentally ill.

this kind of system is a weapon which can be pointed at anyone. in order to prevent shit like this from happening, we also need to deconstruct how we view mentally ill people, including people who are delusional and hallucinate, and what we view as "reasonable" or "necessary" when it comes to such people.

[doberbutts]

Black people- including famous black people- have been arrested for "breaking and entering" their own homes due to a neighbor witnessing them unlocking their own house door with their own house key and calling the cops. College professors, celebrities, politicians, and everyday people such as my own father.

It's common enough that young black kids are told to keep any identifying information on them at all times just in case someone reports a black kid breaking and entering by walking into the house they've lived at since they were born. Because that has happened.

When you add mental illness and the healthcare industry into the mix, things only get worse from there. To be clear, you don't need to be black or mentally ill to be treated poorly by a doctor or nurse that's decided they know you better than you do. But it sure doesn't make things easier.

And people have died as a result- or have we already forgotten the death of Adriana Smith who went to THE HOSPITAL SHE WORKED AT AS A NURSE reporting severe headaches and was dismissed as exaggerating and imagining the severity, only to be declared brain dead upon arrival less than 24 hours later and artificially kept alive to force her dead body to carry her baby to term- which couldn't even happen and they had to remove him via C-section anyway.

These are related problems. And until we fix the root cause, they will keep happening.
