i thought i was dead
i had a experience today where my body overheated i started to lose focus in my schoolwork my heart started beating so loud and fast and hurting like a mf and i thought “omg this is it this is how i die i am going to die in the middle of art class” then i decided to try to alert someone i tapped my friends thigh my breathing was shaky and loud and my face was red and tried to tell her “get the teacher somethings happening” all that came out was a scrambled mumbled sentence and i thought i was about to faint but she understand and the teacher got her to take me real quick and since she knew i was anorexic she got a proteing bar and made me eat that shit and the second i took a bite everything slowly started to calm down and i have honestly never been more terrified
dont take life for granted as someone with an ed it doesnt matter whether your bmi is high or low your heart can stop at any second
This is extreme hypoglycemia!!!!
When you don’t eat, your blood sugar goes DOWN. This causes a variety of symptoms:
-An irregular heart rhythm
-Fatigue
-Pale skin
-Shakiness
-Anxiety
-Sweating
-Hunger
-Irritability
-Tingling sensation around the mouth
-Crying out during sleep
-Confusion, abnormal behavior or both, such as the inability to complete routine tasks
-Visual disturbances, such as blurred vision
-Seizures
-Loss of consciousness
ALWAYS make sure you have a fast acting carbohydrate on you. Orange juice, LifeSavers, (NOT DIET) soda, dried fruits (raisins), bananas, glucose gel/tablets, energy bars, rice cakes, pretzels, other candies.
These will correct your blood sugar (bring it up) in 5-15 minutes!!!!! Eat them when you start to feel faint or right after you pass out. Hydrate yourself as well!!!
Place your head between your knees, this enhances blood flow to your brain. Sit down/remain lying down when you regain consciousness. Get up SLOWLY and when you’re ready. Other options include raising the legs to aid blood flow to the brain as well.
Incredibly important!!
Please guys, i was in the shower one day and was about to get out and i suddenly couldn’t lift my arms or do anything, reality felt like it didn’t exist and my heart was so loud and j could HEAR it skipping beats and everything was oscillating between intense rushes of noise and silence and i have massive black splotches in my eyes and i couldn’t see anything and i dont know how i managed to get out of the shower and the first thing i did was collapse in front of a jar of rock candies j found somewhere in the bottom if my room and i bearly managed to get one out, but i did and oh god i felt ALIVE.
I have never been so scared.
I had a BMI of 21 and had only been restricting for a month.
Verdict is- carry something round with you at all costs. It may genuinely save your life.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, BE. SAFE!!!
