Player spins uncontrollably from mouse movement?

My mouse has the camera attached as a child, and is allowed to rotate. I now want the player to be able to move based on the movement of the mouse, but everything I've done so far makes it spin unless I put the mouse back at its original location.

What I did so far:

    	mouse_speed = Input.get_last_mouse_speed()
    	if mouse_speed.x > 0:
    		self.rotation += abs(mouse_speed.x) / 15000
    	elif mouse_speed.x < 0:
    		self.rotation -= abs(mouse_speed.x) / 15000

I would like to simulate the camera rotation similar to how some 3d games work- only just for the z position as this is a top-down 2d game.

I got most of it, I think. Here's the code if someone needs it.

        func _input(event):
            if event is InputEventMouseMotion:
                mouse_speed = Input.get_last_mouse_speed()
            if mouse_speed.x > 0:
                self.rotation += abs(mouse_speed.x) / 15000
            elif mouse_speed.x < 0:
                self.rotation -= abs(mouse_speed.x) / 15000

Then in func _process(delta), or whatever function that's in charge of player movement: _input(InputEventMouseMotion)
