Every post I make on this sub gets auto banned for some reason. Does anyone remember being “told” to read very specific books? I can remember starting in second grade(had just moved schools) the 4th grade teacher having me read A Series of Unfortunate Events and The Mysterious Benedict Society(book 1 had just released).
Ive tried posting my testimony a few times and each time it gets removed. This is wild to stumble upon tonight. I have a feeling I may have been in the GATE program much later than many here. However, the fact that I was in the program from second to eighth grade and only had 3 hazy memories(ooblek, computer tests, something with toothpicks) until I saw this thread is very concerning. I remember the pink drink now. Why have I never questioned this before? I’ve been struggling for years feeling like there was something missing, like memories throughout years of my life are suppressed because of something that might have happened to me. My mom was a teacher at my school. My school was K-8. I don’t remember if she was always part of the program, or if she joined much later. While for me probably just a coincidence, seeing penicillin and amoxicillin mentioned was very interesting. As soon as I started going to the doctors by myself my mom made sure that I remembered to tell the doc that I was allergic to both. It eventually became habit and thought nothing of it for years. Eventually I ended up asking her how she knew I was allergic because I couldn’t remember ever taking it. She told me I was administered both as a fresh infant and had a reaction. I just accepted it as fact. After some years of college I enlisted. The day everyone got the peanut butter shot(good amount of penicillin in an ass cheek they say feels like peanut butter) I informed the MTI(drill instructor)I was allergic. They pulled me aside where I stood next to a few others who were also allergic. Someone informed us(can’t remember if Doc or MTI)that over the next 7 days we’d have to take a pill instead of the shot. I was never given pills, the others were. At the time I just considered myself lucky but who knows. I tried listening to wave one, immediately recognized the beeping. Felt very intense emotions when I got the “energy box” and then once I got to the breathing and matching the singing, I instantly became terrified and had to turn it off.
