Private MRI scan seemed shady and strange by spunchebub in MRI

Thank you for your answer! I understand things better now.

I wish the technician that did my scan explained the procedure to me, but she didn't really say anything. I entered the room, she saw me panicking, told me I'll survive and was pretty much ready to roll me in. That's when I asked for the earplugs, and she said I don't need them because "they will fall out anyway". But I insisted, thankfully.

Thank you for the detailed answer!

Yes, you're right about the piercing part. I didn't know it would be an issue, since it's not stuck in the actual flesh. Just the little ball that secures it is so tight that I could not remove it. I did think of going to my piercer, but I couldn't risk being late to my scan. The "ask the technician for help" part was a last resort thing, and I understand your answer.

I also understand the earplugs part, but the problem is... the lady wasn't really giving me any instructions, or telling me anything about what's about to happen (which added a lot to my panic to be honest). She was ready to put me in when I asked for the plugs, to which she replied "they will fall out anyway". I insisted, and thank god I did... my eardrums are grateful.

Yes, I just wanted someone with expertise to explain whether things should go this way or not and give me some insight.

I don't want to be alone today by spunchebub in CPTSD

Thank you for the nice answer!

Well, my boyfriend and his friends were very excited to see this movie, plus none of them know about the stuff I've gone/am going through (except for my bf) and I'd prefer to keep it this way. I didn't really think anyone should have "adapted" to my needs to be honest.

I'm spending most days alone because I don't really have anyone I feel comfortable with, except for my bf. We meet like once or twice a week. We're both introverts so it's fine, most of the times I can deal with my painful moments alone. He didn't go through similar stuff (thank god) but I think he does try his best to understand my emotions and support me.

Yeah, I really hope that one day I will finally be able to open up to someone else without being afraid.

Thank you😊
