My Day

[Hiro]

I posted this on my tumblr, and I don't feel like retyping it, so I'll just repost the whole thing:

Just got home from the hospital. I passed out during my last class of the day, but we’re not exactly sure what happened.

I felt like I was falling, spinning, being thrown around rapidly, wind rushing all around me. Strange, crowded noises all over the place. I couldn’t open my eyes, and I couldn’t open my mouth, which was painful because I was biting my tongue. I almost felt like my whole life had been just a dream and that this is what reality was.

Finally, I managed to get my tongue back into my mouth and open my eyes, where everyone was standing around me, telling me to lay down and just relax. I needed to sit up though, to regain my grounding and make sure I could control my body. I was drooling all over the place. I tried to respond to them, but only slurred sounds would come out of my mouth. Oh god, I hope I don’t have brain damage.  I thought I might have had a stroke or something. Everything was a blur.

I eventually managed to sit up, a challenge since I could barely move my arms correctly. They kept jerking and twitching. My speaking started to come back, but I still sounded like I had food in my mouth and I could only speak slowly. I laid back down, and the paramedics arrived. They had me say my name, what year it was, things like that. Then they put a neck brace on me and put me on a stretcher and rolled me to the ambulance. At that point, I was coherent again. I could speak (through the breathing mask), I could somewhat see clearly (my glasses had fallen off), and I could move properly, although I felt extremely weak.

I got to the hospital, and my mom and sister arrived shortly after. From then on a nice guy took blood, did a blood sugar test, blood pressure test, urine test, etc. I was rolled into a room to get a brain scan. Most of the time though, I just talked to my mom and sister while we watched food network and waited for the test results.

After having me walk around the hallway a few times to make sure I could, they told me everything was fine, and that I could go home. I was in there for 6 hours, but I feel okay now.

I just have a headache now and I'm covered in heart monitor stickers, but I'm alright now. Thanks for the concern.

Sucks. Glad you are feeling good now. 

My sister used to have seizures multiple times every day. Hers were nothing like this. But your mileage my vary.

I used to have seizures pretty frequently when I was between 1 and 3 years old. The last time I passed out (and possibly seized) was when I was 12, and they couldn't find anything wrong with me then. Luckily I was already at the doctor when it happened 

This one was much different from that one though. With that one I woke up immediately afterward and was perfectly fine. This one felt real, it felt violent. It was possibly the scariest feeling of my life, I thought I would be trapped there forever.

endogenous dimethyltryptamine.

what about dmt? 

this intrigues me

well I was in my world religions class, and we're currently going over hinduism. apparently in hinduism, everything in existence is a piece of Brahman, who is the ultimate reality. I think that was influencing my thinking at the time.

very. I'd be interested to know how hard you were thinking about Brahman.
