TRIGGER WARNING!
I had a bad rash on my thighs at the time due to an allergic reaction to Lamictal. I got put on a high dose of steroids and BOOM! Manic as ****. So I took myself to the ER where I was put in IP. The night nurses were mostly male, and they scared me. One asked to see my rash, and I was wearing a hospital gown and I thought he was going to r*** me. So I ran away down the hall from him and I had to calm down. I was delusional about other things, too, but that was the worst thing. It's all a blur in my memory now.
