So there is a chance that my downswing might be something health related seeing as how I just almost passed out in the kitchen. Thing is, now that that happened, I feel better, so... figure that out.

... virus maybe. Kind of like how a seizure can reset the body when a fever spikes? My child had them when she was little that did that

Might be. All I know is that I was dizzy, almost throwing up, ended up in the floor and now I'm... mostly okay? Even mood-wise? Hell if I know.

huh, maybe you're coming down with something? but that sounds worrisome

HUGS Well take it easy, which I know you know but still. Fluids and rest and don't hesitate to call a doctor/hit a clinic?

I'm sitting here, just finished eating, got a nice tall glass of cold juice, and I'm giving myself permission to sleep as I want.

good plan

yes pls, though if that kind of dizziness starts being a recurring thing definitely see a doc, could be an inner ear thing

... when you almost passed out, did you jerk or move suddenly? I wonder because maybe the crystals in your ear shifted and when you jerked they settled back?

It's an issue I had after my davinci machine surgery for a short tiem and had to do exercises to put them back but it caused dizziness and general unease

No, I was standing there making my juice and it just crept up on me. I started feeling like 'ugh, I might throw up. I feel really bad. Wtf is going on. Oof, not okay. Very not okay.' Then I shifted over to the sink, just in case I did throw up, and closed my eyes. After that, every time I opened my eyes, they felt heavy and droopy.

Then everything felt kind of distant, and I decided being in the floor was better, so I carefully sat down into the floor.

huh

Once I was in the floor, I started feeling a little better. A little steadier. And then I slowly came back around. Got a cold sweat afterward. Now I'm just exhausted.

wow, you really nearly fainted. that's worrying.

you haven't hit your head in the past week or so, have you?

hello I did first aid retraining today and that sounds like classic faint + mild shock

No, no head-hitting. But I am still getting over the sinus infection so it's possible I'm still coping with that.

seems likely, yeah

I also think I was overheated. Papaw keeps the house very warm and I was cooking in the T-shirt I slept in, which was a Bioware one that's meant for men.

So, yeah. Quite a few possible factors.

hurrah, logical explanations found

I just. I really don't want a repeat of that.

yeah, definitely not. it's scary af

It is, and it sucks, and now I just want to sleep for a few days.

honestly you should. shock sucks.

Gotta get groceries tomorrow, but I'm spending the rest of the evening relaxing.
