Being psychotic is very often traumatic and I think that's something that is overlooked. People sometimes joke about delusions like "haha they thought the government was spying on them personally", "haha they thought there were people living in their walls" etc, but to do that I feel that you have to completely disconnect from the fact that WE REALLY DO BELIEVE AND EXPERIENCE THESE THINGS, so it's like... Do you think it's fun to be targeted by an oppressive government? Do you think it's fun to live through a literal horror movie? REALLY?

Like this is not even getting into how many psychotic people end up hospitalized which is often its own very external source of trauma.

Delusions and hallucinations are traumatic by themselves.

I grew up believing that the other kids in school were literally plotting to euthanize me. I joke about it because it's painful, but that shit fucked me up. Growing up with a massive target on my back, knowing that I might be killed if I let my guard down. It was traumatic! Even if it was all in my head. Turns out that's where humans process their experiences, anyways.

TW: mentions of animal harm/injury, surgery, amputation, euthanasia

My friend's cat, Sebastian, was shot by someone in his neighborhood and now has shrapnel in his limbs and a broken leg. It will require surgery to fix and most likely will cost in the thousands (at least 1k-2k as estimated by the vet, but it could be more.) The only other options are amputation or euthanasia. Sebastian means everything to my friend; if you could donate to his GoFundMe or share this post, we would all be so thankful.

Just heard from aunt that uncle will probably get euthanasia on monday. I don't even know if they plan on sending my parents a card but I'm back at anxiety shitting levels of stress (which tbh I never was far away from but hey. at least I'm somewhat functional today thanks to being at the office! the wellbeing forecast predicts another breakdown for tonight, though)

(Part of me keeps wondering, IF my vague hypotheses are correct and this uncle molested my mother, will his death break down her dissociation? Or just straight up break her?)

I think this is the first time I've known beforehand that I'm about to experience one of the worst days of my life. Normally worst days take you by surprise. Maybe it's good. I see it coming, I can prepare. But mostly it just feels like despair. Tomorrow we have an appointment with the vet to say goodbye to my best friend. He has been ill a long time. This is what is best for him. But I am heartbroken, and I don't want it to be tomorrow yet. I want just one more day, you know? Just a little longer. Maybe that's the worst part of knowing you are going to have a worst day, knowing something will end. I'm going to miss him so much. So much.

guys, i am a MESS right now.

the last appointment was a dog named rosie that we have been treating for a long time. she had kidney failure and heart failure and today was the day mom decided to put her down. usually we do our euths in a room but we had mom bring her out to the middle of treatment so that we can all comfortably sit with her. when i tell you the entire staff (besides our receptionist) sat around this dog and woman and sobbed along with her as we said out goodbye. it was beautiful but so so sad. like i've been in the field for 10 years, i have assisted on over 600 (average is about 3 a week for me in gp and 5 a week for er- so probably more) euths at this point. they are all heartbreaking but i don't sob over all of them (you start to just internalize them tbh). i've cried that hard over maybe about 25 of them. this broke me. i made paw prints and nose prints for mom and the rest of the staff today and also made extra for a shadow box to keep in the hospital.

"You alright?"

My guy we just came out of back to back to back euthanasias, obviously fucking not

But yeah, sure, I'm 'fuck off into the back to breathe and busy my hands' and 'lay on the ground and disassociate' and 'silently cry as I walk home'

And not 'fuck off into the woods and never come back'

So sure. I'm alright.
