Sooo, word of advice. If you feel like you're going to faint don't lay down on your bed. Just lay straight down on the floor. Especially if you have a daybed like I do... Yeah.

My brother usually sleeps on a trundle bed under mine, thankfully he's been sick and sleeping on the living room couch's pull-out bed. Last night I wasn't feeling good. My stomach was hurting and my head was feeling a bit weird and I was about to go to bed. I got up totell my mother something and on my way back to my room I started feeling warm and really not good. I lay down on my bed and kind of curled up on my side hoping it would go away when I find myself not on my bed wondering why my neck hurts. I finally was aware enough to realize I must be on the floor and for some odd reason decided to get back on my bed. Probably because the few other times I've fainted I haven't fainted again for a while, as in years. All this must not have taken long because my mom calls out to me from the kitchen to ask what happened. I was still wondering how I got from my bed to the floor and told her 'I don't know', then, "I must have fainted.'. I kind of remember hearing something which must have been me falling but I was so fuzzy when I was on the floor that I don't even know how I was laying down there. I have this impression that maybe I was leaning against my brother's bed but I'm not sure. Anyway after that my mother brought me some water and then some vitamin c thing that has electrolytes in it which I promptly threw up :/ I think I just couldn't take anymore liquid as well as I probably drank it too fast even though it was a little bit.

Thankfully my mother didn't seem as mad as she usually does when I faint, maybe a bit disappointed and worried. I think the last time I did it was almost a month after my grandmother died which was almost 5 years ago. I was hoping that would be the last time especially since I actually hurt myself when I fell that time. Ahh, so nice to get that out. Nobody really likes talking about me fainting other than to tell me I need to drink more and take better care of myself etc. (Sadly these last few days I'd been eating really good, that is 3 instead of two times a day, and had even been drinking more water than I usually do) I like to talk things to death though and would really like to puzzle out what in the world happened when I was on the ground. I didn't even have all my normal warning signs that I'm about to pass out because while I think I did hear a ringing sound it didn't get louder and louder like it usually does. I'm really glad that I got through the fall fine though I think I'll be staying by the wall side of my bed for a while.
