My head isn't making much sense of things at the moment, still trying to settle. A friend said she expected me to appear a lot more shaken when I said that I'd likely still be quite triggered when I got to her place today
She shared about the standards of care around the intellectually challenged and the mentally ill... everything they had to go through to try and "fix" them... how they weren't trusted to do daily grooming tasks... that the nurses had to do it... Then how the mentally ill were subjected to electro-convulsive therapy, that it was the go to method... my mum was subjected to that... it was the descriptions of the showering that threw me... it was far too similar to when I was chosen by people to service...
