Eating
Ok so I don't like being bleak or like sad or anything but I just kinda feel like I had to talk about this. Just shout it out there.
So yesterday I was on call with one of my friends alllllll night! It's summer so it doesn't really matter all that much. What does matter is that when we hung up at 11 I stayed up playing games and watching dumb videos until 5 am. I realized this when I was on Animal Jam for so long that the log in screen showed up again.
After seeing that I realized that I needed sleep BAD. So I went to bed and had a pretty good sleep... I woke up at around 3pm and noticed that my mom left me a sandwich before she went to work. I took only two bites out of it before rotting my brain with youtube videos until like 7.
I realized I hadn't taken a shower so I quickly got ready for it but before I could get out my already blurry vision became even WORSE. You know how when you close your eyes too tight and you open them back up to see all these colors and shit. Or like when you look at light for too long and those weird patches show up. That's what it looked like.
My limbs started to feel heavy and I could barely hold myself up. I quickly got the towel on myself the best I could and went into my room and managed to take a bite of the sandwich before falling into my bed. When I opened my eyes I was on the ground and I could barely tell what was happening.
It turns out that I fell and HARD. My trombone is at the side of my bed and when I came back to my senses I noticed that my entire bed was shifted and my trombone case was on the ground and CRACKED. My neck and knees still currently hurt like hell. They're both kinda bruised. My elbows are too but they don't really hurt.
I grabbed the sandwich that wasn't on the plate anymore(??) and just started eating as quickly as I could before blacking out again. I don't even know what happened after that but I opened my eyes to be sitting in front of my fan and eating the sandwich as best as I could. After finishing it and sitting there for a while I hobbled over to my mom and she gave me some real food to actually eat.
This isn't the first time this happened to me. It actually happened last year too. It was February and I had forgotten to eat the night before. I woke up and got ready for school but before I could eat breakfast or get any food in my system I fell over. Mom said my lips turned pale and I kept drooling or something.
I was taken to the hospital that day.
They didn't do anything.
So once I felt a little better my mom took me to a buffet so I could actually eat something. During that day my EVIL ELA TEACHER failed my tests even though I wasn't there and was in the ER. After confirming that I was in the HOSPITAL she gave me an extra day to do my stupid test.
That day actually led me to being in the hospital for Valentines because I needed to be checked for anything wrong with my stomach or something.
The primary reason I end most of my blogs here and on Spacehey with "Eat something" and "Drink water" is because of stuff like this. It's scary as shit when you or someone you know forgets to eat and ends up like this.
It's scary when you start to realize your body is shutting down on you and you have to force yourself to move and eat something.
It's scary when you see someone you love starting to pass out right then and there.
So seriously, no matter what reason, you can't neglect your health and needs.
Remember to drink water, eat something good, tell someone you care, and have a good day/afternoon/night

dude that is not normal how long did you go without eating... i've gone for days eating like maybe 1 thing and ive never passed out like that not even once.
adding to my comment here, there was a girl at my school who randomly passed out during band just like that like she knocked over a bunch of instruments and had to go to the hospital, the teacher told us it was either narcolepsy or a kind of seizure where it's not like actively seizing, you just pass out

It was around like 2AM that day that I hadn't are and the day during Febuary I only ate the gross ass school lunch which was at 11AM the day before?
Both times I hadn't eaten for no longer than like a couple of hours. I have a really high metabolism according to my doctor so I guess that means I get hungry FAST.
As for the girl in your band is she ok?? Those instruments can get either heavy or weirdly sharp if you bump into them the wrong way. That had to be scary as shit for her and for your class
