new low but shout out humanity
I had a work meeting this morning like a 5 min walk from my house. Went well enough and I felt fine, little tweaky but whatever. On my way out I suddenly started to feel too dizzy to cross the street- was hanging onto various railings.
Decided to sit down on a bench for a sec and try to calm down cuz I spiral into panic attacks easily. Of course it’s 90 degrees out so that’s not helping. I move to a bench in the shade after trying to rally to walk home… like literally just up a hill. But high traffic area and I was worried about passing out and hurting myself on concrete as one does.
I gave up and called an uber. When he arrives I stand up and immediately feel dizzy and shaky and like my legs don’t work right. This angel of a woman stranger escorts me to the car and opens the door.
I told the driver I was sick so he took the longer route that put me directly at my door and helped me out.
My building super sees me leaning on the railing and walking like Frankenstein and helps me into the elevator… he’s new and I imagine he already thinks I’m crazy (not wrong).
Try to eat a pear and vomit on the carpet before making it to the bathroom.
Supposed to turn in a work project by end of day and I’m just in a ball with a heating pad ranting here instead. I’m very grateful that despite drinking am-pm I haven’t blown up my life (yet)
2 heavy pour drinks later I’m feeling better. It’s scary that not drinking enough might have made me sick. Oh to be a weekend warrior puking from overconsumption.
Anyway sorry for the rant, was just very freaked out about not being able to walk 0.5 miles and needed to vent- was nice to know if I’m in a bad way people will help
