Remember how earlier I said she had a habit of passing out? Turns out, each time was an instance of her heart stopping.

Oh great Noodly One.

That's how she was able to identify the feeling when she was texting me

I hope this means she'll be getting some medical help at least, now that the hospital—and, just as importantly, her parents—have undeniable proof that she's not doing it for attention.

Unlikely. Mom's a bit of a bottle huger.

I was thinking more along the lines of the treatment being mandated by a medical professional (since any condition resulting in a patient's heart stopping is, by definition, life threatening) meaning that if her parents refuse, they could be prosecuted for negligence.

Hey.  Did you know being in a hospital is boring. Ya I'm learning that. My heart did stop and I was found not breathing around 5 am and was breathing again by 7 after being taken to the ER.

 

Last night, she was talking about how she was hyperventilating, and that texting me was what was primarily keeping her focused on her breathing. Now I feel bad for not taking that a bit more seriously.

OMG I FEEL SOO HORRIBLE NOW. HERE I WAS, BROODING OVER HOW LIFE IS CREM, AND THEN....I am so sorry for your friend! I haven't said anything before because I didn't trust myself to say the right thing. Tell her that the whole of the Shard is behind her, we all feel for her. It's good to know that they are giving her the proper treatment she needs.

God damnation, how worse can these people get? We should all send her cards. yes. That's what we must do!

[Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her]

Yes, we should. 

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

I'm for it, though how would we get it to her? We'd need an adress for that. Or do we write it here and silverblade print them out? That might be a lot of paper...

[Mestiv he/him]

I think if Silverblade is fine with it we can send the cards to him and he'll pass them on. Sending them directly to her is out of the question. I don't know how would she react to the information that Silverblade is sharing her story (anonymously, but still) on the Internet... It might not work as intended.

Yeah, it would be a tad freaky to get a bunch of letters from random internet strangers from across the world.

I realize that this is double posting, but do you guys ever just have those days when you seem to have lost the thing that keeps you going every day? 

You feel like you're stuck in a rut, and there's nothing you can do about anything? 

I think I'm having one of those days. 

Usually I have a reason to get up and go to school. To be excited that today is a day that I am living in. But I just can't seem to find that anymore. I've fallen into routine, just waiting for something interesting to come along and happen. Everyone else seems to be doing just fine, getting girlfriends and having things to look forward to and stuff but I just can't seem to find whatever it is I'm missing. 

My grades are faltering, which is a big thing for me. This is the first year I'm not going out for Halloween, so I'm just sitting at home alone. I feel stressed, and just tired. It's like everything around me is moving so fast and it's so dizzying, new things happening and life marching on, and I'm just standing still. 

I don't know what is wrong.

Don't wait for something to happen. Go make it happen! Ask a girl/boy out, climb a mountain, sign up for martial arts classes. If you want to stay at home, find a programming or drawing course. Do something new. 

Interesting things don't come to people who don't actively look for them.

Okay this is literally the best thing I could possibly come back to after crying for ten minutes, listening to Gary Jules' "Mad World", and then making muffins and crying more.

I agree with Mestiv. Actively make time to do things you enjoy/try new things. Spend time researching waistcoat fashion! Or write or draw or go running and ask friends to do cool stuff with you or go do cool stuff on your own. Take your awesomeness into your own hands and Invest! 

Pun intended. 

 

Speaking of interesting things. It's 11:40pm and I can hear these weird loud echoes from outside and I can't make out words or language. It's like a ghost movie O_o

I went through this every time I moved.

I know it's hard, and you don't know why it's happening, but as long as you don't give in, you'll be fine. It may sound cliche, but, you have the support of everyone who knows you; myself, your parents, the rest of your family, your friends, your teachers, your acquaintances, every person whose life you've ever touched, and everyone on the shard.

If your stuck, try doing as Delightful and Mestiv have already suggested. If life seems to have abandoned you, make it come back.

Who knows? That feeling of missing something could be you becoming overwhelmed. If so, maybe try finding little moments throughout your day to do nothing but remember the good times. Spend a few moments reminiscing about your youth. When your ready, take a breath, and push on with your life.

Talking to your friends could also help if nothing else does.

Good luck, and enjoy your days of the dead!

I'd be fine with it. PMs would work.

The brain weasels have attacked in all their squeaky, obnoxious might. I had an anxiety attack over this thing that I'm trying to do and I know, intellectually, that I'm not failing horribly, it's not pathetic to have anxiety, and that the things the weasels say are blown out of proportion and irrational, but they sure seem rational right now.

Besides that, when I get stressed I flap my hands and the more stressed I am the worse it gets and dang it I can't have it this bad at school tomorrow people will stare.

Hugs?

*hugs* Would it help to listen to a song called "Weasel Stomping Day" by Weird Al? Stomp those brain weasels!

Let them stare. Reginald the Spoon will protect you!

Send to Silverblade. Silverblade prints, and hands it over.

[Sunbird she/her]

Argh. I just realized, at almost 2:30 AM, that I forgot to turn in two HW assignments that were due online at midnight. I guess that's what I get for putting them off until Halloween.

You are a wonderful person, Misty, and we all love you, even if those weasels don't. You are not pathetic, or a failure. You are simply you. So let the weasels do their thing, but once they've finished, go back to being your normal, oddly awesome self.

Hugged.

[Silverblade5 he/him]

Hey
So turns out the doctors were wrong. It wasn't a 1 time freak accident because it happened again tonight.
My heart stopped.
Answer me!!!!!
Aus doesn't wanna help right now and I need to talk to someone.
Cause I know it's about to happen again

Sorry, was driving.

Oh, that's fine

When did it happen?

Bio... When I grabbed my chest right before class ended.
Only for a few moments.
then again when I got home so I was rushed to the hospital again.
But I'm home now thank god

How could you tell it was different from a standard blackout?
Before the hospital?

Cause a blackout doesn't physically hurt all over for a full 10 minutes before and after it happens.

Oh

Ya

That's why you had that headache that sent you to the nurse?

Ya. A headache is usually the first symptom

I'm so sorry

It's fine. Nothing u could've done.

At least you're better now.

No not really...

:cryface:

I have a headache. A major one... And I only get them BEFORE this happens.
So.
It's coming again. I know it is
Nothing I can do butt sit alone in my room shaking. Terrified.

At least we know you'll be able to get through this.

Ya... I guess
I'm scared

I'm sorry that there's nothing I can do to help.

You are helping by talking to me... At least I know I'm not alone this way

Yay.

It's happening
Everything's going blurry
And there's a really LOUD ringing in my ears.
And bright flashes
Respond please Aleander

I would, but I can't think of anything that would be helpful right now.

I'm absolutely terrified for my life right now. I can't stop shaking. And everything's spinning.
And I don't need you to b helpful. I need to know you're here.

I'm here

Thanks. Please keep replying. It's helping me stay alert.
I know when I black out it's gonna b for a while...

Right now I'm blowing into a bottle of coke I found at lunch.
The music is terrible.

Bottle of coke? I thought u found a Gatorade

And Coke

Oh
You probably said that too earlier but I could hear a thing then so ya
Couldn*

Lol

Couldn't *! Grr hard to text when I'm shaking.

Spelling is funny though

Ya...
How was track?

Good

Cool

Workouts will really pick up tomorrow

That's cool
How was your day?

It was mostly good

That's goid to hear

Haha

Good

Funny typos are funny.
Lol

The pain...
It hurts  

It'll fade later on

My heart is skipping beats.
I feel it

What does skipping a beat feel like?

Like I can feel it stop for a split second then jump back to beating.
A mini version of it stopping

I'm just glad it's not fully stopping
Yet

Yet
It's getting really close thigh...
Though

That's an amusing image

Haha lol

Just thinking about it

Ya. I can imagine.
Alex...
Alexander
U still there?
Please please please please respond. I need you.

 

 

 

Well, confirmation that Sunday wasn't an isolated incident. Thinking about the symptoms she listed, definitely not narcolepsy. Ended up having to abandon the conversation because mom wanted me to walk the dog, and now I'm very worried and feeling guilty right now.
