@actuallyautistic

Have any of you ever had an MRI? I hadn't, until last night, and I was in it about 20 seconds before I squeezed the panic button and told them this had to stop. I've never been that close to a complete panic breakdown before.
The restraint for my head also restrained my chest, making me feel like I couldn't breathe. The tube is small - inches away from my eyes. And it's LOUD, even with the earplugs.
I have a new definition of hell.

@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic i had one and while it was a challenge from a sensory POV, it was very hard to lie still. it took all my willpower and attempts to detach myself. it felt like forever. oh and the claustrophobia was terrible. i closed my eyes for the whole experience. yeah i hated it.
