I called them for the first time ever back in February of this year due to my first manic episode. I was stoned 24/7 for a month straight after being illegally fired from my job. I was also smoking one of those mystery "mushroom" vapes during this time.

Eventually, I believed that my union had started a massive international social media campaign surrounding my case without telling me. This was exciting and fun at first, until I made a statement insulting Trump and Musk to some of my union siblings. At that point, I started to believe that I was the subject of a gamergate style hate mob and that my life was in danger.

At 3am after at least 2 weeks of very little sleep, I thought I heard noises from my phone that indicated a streamer that hacked me. At this point, I called 911 to report a stalker. Nothing came of the call, but my family knew something was wrong and gave me the help I needed. I'd be happy to share more about what I was believing at the time for those interested; mental health is important folks!

Something stupid, I was very tired after work and I don't know why but I found a packet of silica gel in the kitchen shelves, and somehow I thought it was a snack, so I opened it and I have no idea why, I started to crunch on it. After a couple of minutes of chewing the silica gel spheres I woke up and realized my mistake and panicked, maybe those have copper sulphate because are blue, so I called the emergency number. They didn't laugh of my stupidity and they reassured me that probably I wouldn't need to be hospitalized. They were so nice that they called me after 30 and 60 minutes for a follow up on my health.
