JUST A WARNING: anxiety attacks, hyperventilating, loss of consciousness, concussion
Okay, so basically, I was on a school camp in July, and (keep in mind, I graduated three days ago), we were talking about graduating and the end of everything in the fun form of a quiz night.
Over the night, I had ten people screaming answers at me, and we still ended up losing, but oh well. By the end of the night, we were heading back to our dorms when my friend realised my hands were shaking and I was staggering a bit, so she asked what was wrong, and I just had to say I was fine yk
Needless to say, I was not fine, because I was getting frustrated with my bedding (I was absolutely exhausted, I just wanted to go to bed, but my blankets were on wrong), so as I was trying to fix them, I hit my head on my bunk bed.
Now this bunkbed has a metal railing that I hit my head on, and I was so done with that night. When I hit my head, I swore, and a few friends asked if I was okay, and I said yeah, sure, why wouldn't I be? It's just a little bump, but I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and stuff before bed as I was saying this.
From here, this is what my friend tells me happened. I don't remember every detail. As I was in a stall, I was feeling really dizzy and anxious, and apparently, I was in the bathroom for a while. My friends heard crying in the bathrooms but thought it could just be laughing, idk. Five minutes later, I'm still in the stall, but I'm tired, so I'm sitting on the floor, and a friend comes in to check on me. I say I'm okay, and she goes to bed.
Another ten minutes go by, and another friend is coming in as I'm able to get off the floor and walk out. From what she says, as soon as I saw myself in the mirror, I collapsed against a wall without losing consciousness and started hyperventilating because of the way that I look. It's another twenty minutes of me not being able to breathe properly until I calmed down and she helped me back to bed, where I passed out on the short ten metre walk and scared my friends.
I was awake a few seconds later, and it was around midnight when this was happening, so I was telling them not to call the teachers and just let me go to sleep, and they said sure, so I just went to bed.
The next morning, though, I had teachers pull me from breakfast, saying that they heard about what happened and had to give me a concussion test. I don't think I passed, but it was a year 12 camp, so they weren't going to stop me.
So that's one of my little whump moments (there's been a couple, but not like this).
