Hi folks. I'm having trouble with something. Last year I went into hospital due to hyperglycaemia (I'm type 1 diabetic). I was also breathless when found so a tube went into my neck so I could breath and I was intubated when I came to in hospital. I was taken off all my meds. For 2-3 weeks I was in a ward and in a very strange state. I believe they gave me drugs without my knowledge. I had hallucinations, time changed speed (thru Halloween, New year and into 2015 - it was still August!), I saw famous people, weird things happening, sexual abuse (and witnessed others suffer the same) and heard the staff watching their recordings laughing over and over mentioning my name. A robbery went down. I was the focus. I changed countries. Was put in a 'game show' like prison in Thailand where we are submerged in water for days and have to kill each other off. The winner is set free. I cut myself free.
Some things seemed very normal which added to the confusion. Because I was Intubated most of the time I Couldn't talk only whisper. Last night in that ward It sounded just like one of the doctors was beating a captured 'someone' to death. Twice. Strange thing then was that the guy in the next bed seemed to be hearing the same same things. "No you can't do that! Nurse! Help! You're out of order! Thats wrong!" and so on. So was he hearing what I was hearing? Also all the Nurses had drawn the curtains around the bed as if hiding the patients, for their sakes and ours.
Next thing is strange. After that (within an hr), when all the curtains were drawn I was taken to a new ward. Quiet ward. Everything seemed totally normal. No strange noises, no hallucinations (via any sense) and I wasn't wired up to things anymore. I had a popper in my neck covering the hole where the tube went so that I could talk fine. Lots happened but that's a quick round up.Now I've done LSD, had hypnagogic sleep paralysis, Strange dreams whilst awake and all that. But this was different. Delusions I guess. But I remember things in such detail, unlike any hallucination I've ever had. Things seemed to make sense to, unlike hallucinations. most hallucinations were quick to dismiss because my rational mind still 'seemed' to be working. Was I drugged? Or was it the sudden withdrawal of all my meds? (clonazepam, isocarboxazid, quetiapine, amitriptyline & bupropion). Is it worth getting legal help (no win no fee). I once asked a psychiatric nurse (at the end of another 2 week stay in hospital) if they had or kept CCTV footage. She said no. But when I enquired via a solicitor they said they will absolutely have the footage or they would be breaking the law. So do I make a claim for medical negligence? Flicking thru the footage would be enough. Especially that last night in the particular ward.
OK so I was getting some strange mental feedback on my surroundings, whatever the cause, but far too much for it to be one big DELUSION(??)Any comments? Any Psychologists out there with any kind of explanations? Feel free.
