Yes but that one it particular makes me roll my eyes until they pop out of my skull. All medical-based ones do.

@berlioz

It's not waking up, it's being conscious while going under, and not being able to wake up and alert someone you aren't numb or sleeping.
Also, most phobias are irrational. That's kinda what makes it a phobia lol.

@berlioz

And under normal circumstances, if you did wake up during anesthesia, they'd up your dosage and you wouldn't even be able to remember it.

I'm not normal, Owen. Can't you see I'm not like other girls? I have boring brown hair, boring brown eyes, pale skin, two guys are fighting over me, and I'm good at everything.

@Moxie group

Uffff you know the phobia of that type of thing happening is irrational, right?

Congratulations, you just defined phobia

Woop my bad

@Althalosian-is-the-father book

What's really great though, is feeling stuff without feeling pain. I had that when I got stitches. Kind of cool.

Like with a local anesthetic?

Yeah. It just took away the pain instead of making me numb.

I'm almost definitely allergic to a certain time of anaesthetic
Luckily I've only gone under once, and it was when I was in elementary school to have my tonsils and adnoids (idk how to spell that) out, but I'm always kinda scared of being in an accident and them not knowing about my allergy and giving it to me.

@berlioz

Do you have like a medical ID in your phone? I know apple has an emergency app that can be opened when the phone is locked, you can put allergies and other things people would need to know.

@evastardust groupRRAAAARRL

I don't, but I should. It's not an allergy I've been tested for iirc but both my mom and her sister have it so it's really likely I do too.

okay but real talk
you don't have to be worried when you go under
over the summer they knocked me out for my knee surgery (and I'm having another surgery this summer woooooo) (there's a high-ish chance I will lose feeling in half my face :DDDDD)
you're surrounded by professionals and there's always one nurse who's in charge of just taking care of you during the procedure
and they're right next to you to keep you calm when they put the mask on you
and honestly you just take a breath or two and before you know it you're awake again
also they shove this thing in your iv before they wheel you off and put you under that makes your head fuzzy and everything goes in slow motion, so you probably won't even be super aware when they put you under

@berlioz

It's not really against your will

It was against my will when I got my wisdom teeth out. Plus, I say "general will" because in the long run, I know what they're doing is completely safe and monitored and I have nothing to bitch about, but still. I'd rather not with most drugs.

@berlioz

I know it's irrational, but that doesn't change how I feel.

Fun fact, if you're alive your skeleton is wet right now.

When you die, they replace your eyeballs with little balls so your eye sockets don't look all sunken in for your funeral
There was a serial killer who actually used red bouncy balls cause he couldn't get his hands on the good stuff

well duh, you gotta marinate the bones somehow

Note to self, marinate bones before doing the Science-

A handful of raw bitter almonds will kill you. The cause if death will be cyanide poisoning. Along with that, 40% of people can smell cyanide, and they say it smells like almonds. The rest say it's odorless.

Apple seeds, peach pits, cherry pits, and apricot pits all have cyanide in them too! Just don't chew on them.
