I just want to let you know that I started taking food and water again yesterday morning; i started getting too weak to stand w/o blacking out and, after finding something inside of myself, i decided I wanted to help myself.
I've been really weak since: it's not trivial to rehydrate/refeed after that many days, and it's taken a lot out of me (i also worked my online job, which was 2x tough, and did taxes, 3x tough). Sorry for the late, non-detailed, update: i'll prolly add more here later.
It was pretty much what it was: my first serious suicide attempt. I was really ready, and I still don't know the exact thing that changed me out of that deep stupor: it was intense, and I was getting a lot sicker than I was realizing. I spent 2am-6am frozen face down on the couch, time-in-which it felt that long, but also like 15 mins, and also like always: it really was like a *stopping* in that gap.
As soon as I got up it was weird: my vision was narrow and fuzz, and when I got to the water faucet it took all of my *magic* to not pass out. In fact, i fell to the ground right when i got a bottle filled and drank; still woozy-ing out, i crawled to the fridged and pawed quarter a bagel. All i could manage was to crawl to the living room, where i chewed and drank in the fetal position for *some time*. I fell back asleep on the couch until I had therapy.
I felt crazy sick that day, worse than my worst hangover: i felt so weak. I didn't pee-pee till the next days despite drinking 3-4 L of fluid. Even that night, i still felt not totally in control of my health. The next day was near-copy, except I ate more and #shortwalked and increased the water/home-electrolytics ratio; today, my head *doesn't feel* like the worst hangover, just hungover.
I actually was tracking the medical progression using AI and *a little robo-birdie told me* that, Monday morning at 7am ET, i may have had a 30%-40% chance of immanent death, and that if I hadn't course corrected that number was 60%-70% by Monday afternoon. Scary, bc it feels exactly what my body was telling me ("no more than 25 hours left in life on this path from Monday 12am onward"). The robos are helping me recover, and today i feel person-ish again; still, I feel so weak, it's a constant reminder....
....that I didn't do it, which is astounding really. I had a lot of reasons not to and I feel like they all contributed but...i still don't know *why* or *what* or *where* the "get up, come back" call came from. I considered all my Earthly loves and all just seemed better off without me, like ending was my greatest act of love for them. I was also hallucinating pretty vividly Sunday night, so it wasn't direct-communication with the stars/universe/god, or whatever, that happened and I already gribbled my slice of Hell. I think it was just culminating all of you, and my local universe, and all of those flattering potentials seen, and still finding someone that I wanted to live for someone else: me? Or, my self as someone I want to Be: I want to be that Be, as I am, withing those other beings-to-bes being my Be. Maybe? It's still something I don't know because that was a fast, and slow, time for me I have a hard time remembering and find impossible to forget.
Sorry for *more*, but I just wanted to be the data-trail maybe such a system-shocking swoop could be for others: don't close towards destiny, especially at endings you find predestined. Instead open towards possibility: you may find the questions leading to beginnings you later see as unavoidable.
Always seek the help you need, especially your healthcare professional, in the case of an emergency. I can't stress enough the necessity of my medical support (this blog and everyone I leaned on, my therapist, my family, and aiMD diagnostics) in my recovery, and how critical each and every single leg of that table was in my own successful recovery: it was exceedingly dangerous, and my limited resources and compounding disorders would have made anything less probabilistically deadly.
Thanks so much for all you all do for me: i mean that. This blog was the final string holding me to the earth, in the end, and I feel so blessed to have the opportunities this blog continues to give me (namely, my connection to all of you, and my own life).
If this blog had not been here and active, neither would I. 💕Thank you so much, Tumblr, for letting me live my little life through this community here💕
