I went for my MRI today. Decided I didn't want to be under, couldn't handle the loss of control, so would try with anesthesia. They gave me a good dose of sedative to take a bit before and I did. It was a horrible experiece. The meds were in me- I needed assitance crossing the street and walking. I spaz out in the MRI. One set sounds like gunshots. I tore out backwards out of the macine breaking off the straps. One tech staid in the room with me, that helped til he was asking about trauma of being locked in a trunk and the shootings, I didn't know what to say so I answered his questions. Bad idea. I cried the whole time. They kept yelling at me for crying. I cried more because of that.

I sat outside to smoke. Someone in there commented on how I was being quiet. Yeah we don't f*cking know each other, it ain't camp, a work smoke break or anything more than a designated smoking area. That is all. I felt obligated to talk to people at that point tho. That made me more uncomfortable.

By the time I saw the doc, I was 98% dissociated. I remember bits, but not much. Came home- I think. May have gone someplace else. I feel like I did but idk where. But then slept for a bit at home... or maybe just laid here. May as well have been asleep tho I know I didn't sleep for all of it.

Didn't like the foggy nonexistant memory without a reason. I needed a reason. So a new friend came over with dope. Dope I know wipes your memory. I hate the shit,but it's my reason.

What I don't know is this- 1. shoud I go to the ER? I am debating going cuz during smoking and ever since I've had SEVERE chest pain- I've had my foot stepped on by a draft horse and if they stepped on my chest it probably wouldn't feel much different... it's deep and burning and sharp and intense. It's NOT anxiety. Me and anxiety pains are old friends. It is NOT that.
2. How much should I tell the ER? Do I go tonight, or in the morning? If I go tonight can they arrest me for being stoned? If I go tomorrow do I still have to tell them I was smoking? Can I get in trouble? Also... I was thinking of if I went asking them for the Plan B pill (if I don't go to the ER I will go to the walk in clinic tomorrow if they are open- if they are not, anyone know how soon after I have to take? I can maybe get it without a script but I'd rather have one sincethen it's free... but if the walk in clinic isn't open in time I may have to cuz I can't get that from the ER anyway), only if I go in for the chest pain,but would they just say go to my doc or the walk in clinic or can they just give me the script for that at the same time? They won't ask questions, will they? Cuz I don't want to tell them about how what happened with this guy tonight I never expected to happen, never wanted to happen, and it made tonight shittier. Whatever.
 
If you really do have chest pain than you should go to the ER ASAP! You can get the morning after pill at a pharmacy (in the US) and no they won't arrest you for being stoned they aren't the cops!!
 
If they don't piece together that I was smoking, would I have to tell them, if there is any chance the two can be related?

I'm really afraid to go, in part 1. because I'm afriad of what will happen if I'm honest about the pot. It's not like it's all the time, the last time was like 8 months ago at least... usually just when the flashbacks and dissociaton get so out of control I need SOMETHING to blame dissociation on. and 2. I'm terrified of leaving my house atall right now,especially to go to the hospital though. Hospitals mean ambulances,doctors, and tests. What will they do if I dissociate there? I'm terrified that could happen even more terrified they'd notice and yell at me for it.
 
Plus would they get mad at me for goin in in the middle of the night with the chest pain? I feel bad, like I can't go in past 8 or 9pm, even tho I know the ER is open 24 hours, I feel like between 9pm and 6am I'm wasting more of their time if I go... okay, the last couple times I had to be forced to go was when I had an infection that ruptured my ear drum (I didn't want to bother a doc with an earache) and when I had an allergic reaction to medicine and had to be taken via ambulance... I felt bad about going in those times and I'd feel bad about it again.I dont like all the tests lately in part cuz they scare me and in part cuz I feel like I'm getting too much attention.

I decided paying extra for the pill was worth more than getting the script so I could get it for free because I'm a bit afraid of what potential questions could be asked.
