I spent the day in the ER today after blacking out twice and falling down from one of the episodes. I had to get a EKG, a heart monitor, blood tests, IV, urine tests and some kind of balance thing...My day has been really scary and crappy especially since I pretty much did everything by myself, including walking home from where I passed out alone since no one cared to drive me. I just wanted to talk to my friend, the only one who I have to hang out with...And after telling him what was going on he tells me he has a cold and cant talk. Am I still out of it? I don't want to flush a friendship down the pooper for nothing but my feelings were hurt so bad I started to cry in from of my doctor. Was I expecting too much when I just wanted someone to text me so I didn't feel so alone?

Hope everyone elses day was a hell of a lot better than mine.

You're not out of it or crazy. That's actually pretty bad. Sounds like you need someone to reach out. A true friend.

Do you have any programs, support groups or local organizations that can help support you?

I'm sorry you spent the day at hospital..Hope everything is going to be ok for you.. I think the small things count even more when you feel so bad.. It's understandable how you felt..These are the times when you feel very alone..Hugs!!

I am sorry you had such a scary day. It sounds really awful. Did they find out what was wrong? When will the test be back in? I hope all goes well with you.

As for your friend, I don't know, personally I would not be too hard on him. Perhaps he was sick. I know there are times when someone wants to talk to me but I am too sick to concentrate on what they are saying. I would call and check on his cold. If he was blowing you off, it will make him feel guilty.

(((((((((((HUGS)))))))))) I'm sorry you had such a horrible day. There's nothing wrong with with wanting a little care and love from another person. Anytime you'd like to talk I'm here just ask

Did all the tests you had come out ok. I pray they did.

As of right now the doctor said I basically suck at dealing with stress (which is exactly what I was told when I got my first ulcer) He made a unofficial diagnosis of Syncope from fear or emotional distress. I blacked out during the first interview I have had in two years. I ended up backing out of the running for the job and I feel a hole lot better. It was for a vet clinic and I have actually fainted before (but not nearly as bad) in a vet clinic. I feel shitty I'm back to square one tho. I have to go to a follow up appointment with my regular doctor to find out the results of my urine and blood work. Nothing came up out of the ordinary with my blood pressure, heart rate or sugar levels. That actually made them concerned for a while because most people faint from dehydration which would cause a issue with one or more of those.

Thank you for all the HUGS, today I have a headache and my butt hurts from falling down...But for the most part I feel much better :D
