My last post “no energy“ was posted on Sunday.
Monday i woke up for school, was very hot, but didn’t think much of it. i got up and felt really ill and my belly was tossing and turning, so i went to the toilet.
But on my way to the toilet i went the dizziest i’ve ever been, then i blacked out. Next thing i know i am on the toilet floor with my dad picking me up, then i blacked out again, i couldn’t have fainted again… could i? i woke up on the hall way floor and my dad peering over me saying my name over and over again.
I was off school for that whole week because i lost all appetite and because i wasn’t able to eat, i had no energy to stay awake for a school day. I went doctors and they threatened to send me to the hospital and put me on the drip because i wasn’t drinking or eating. In the end i drank and then they took my blood and assumed i had anemia.
Results came back the following week, i have thin blood or something shit like that and I also have to take iron tablets and go into the doctors once a week for the next couple months so they “can keep an eye on me” as my heart rate is extremely high and then i have another blood test next month.
Who knew that a small amount of starvation could cause me this much hassle and scare.
I have just got to be careful in future if i ever want to miss out meals.

Yes, believe it or not eating is a relatively important part of staying alive.
And functioning normally. Not eating doesn’t just affect your body, but your mind as well. Starving yourself very well increase depression.
How long did you starve yourself for ? The longest I’ve gone is 5days
around 3/4 days!
