Vertigo

I fainted last night.

While tidying up my room, i sustained a cut on my feet. It was small but deep. Blood gushed out. From a previous experience, i knew i was going to faint. But being stubborn & refusing to accept that it was gonna happen, i hopped to the kitchen to pour myself a cup of orange juice. I needed something sweet. I took a paper towel, wet it and dapped on the wound.

Feeling a little oozy, i limped back to the living room and sat on the chair. My Mum was there. I signalled to her that i was going to faint.

i found myself deep in Vertigo. i never really knew what vertigo was until last night. I was conscious but i couldn't see or feel anything... sinking & falling with visions of red & blue patches... I was crying and i sensed shaking. I thought i would never get out of the state. I heard my own cries as if i was trapped. Vision cleared and i saw my Mum shaking me. I was still trembling from the whole experience.

I was scared. So was my Mother. She couldn't stop scolding me for that scary incident. She blamed it on me sleeping late and not eating enough meat. i had to remind her that i was prone to fainting spells ever since i was little. As i recounted to her. i have fainted 6 times in my 20 years so far. and they're all from tinyloss of blood. i remembered i had a successful blood donation a year ago and i was fine but on the second ocassion 3 mths ago, i fainted too. so it's weird. hmmm....

anyway, gotta be careful now.
