commotiocordis(Not so) funny story.
I went to church today.
And when we were kneeling, I passed out.
Yeah. Crazy. I was more scared than anything, though, as I had no idea what was going on.
It felt like when you stand up and everything goes black around the edges, except for then it kept going. So I thought maybe I was having a panic attack or getting a migraine or something, but the black kept going until I couldn't see anything, which is when I really started panicking. And I was there by myself, as my mom makes me go still (mostly so my brother and sister don't complain that they shouldn't have to go if I don't) and I didn't go with the rest of them on Saturday because I was at Katie's house.
So everything was black, and we were kneeling, (and there was a section in between when it went black and the next bit when it started to clear that I don't remember at all, about 7 minutes judging by where they were in the mass the last time I remembered while kneeling and the first time I remembered after standing up) so I sort of slid backwards a little so I was kinda sitting down, and put my head down, which cleared up a little bit in the center of my vision, and evidently some time in there everyone stood up, so I stood up for a minute (able to see a bit more, but not much) until they started doing the "peace be with you" thing and shaking hands, at which point I walked out. The walking helped, and I could pretty much see normally now, and I sat down on the floor in the bathroom for 10 minutes or so until I felt a little better and then walked home. The whole time at church it sort of felt like I was floating or something, like a dream.
So basically, more freaked out than anything. My memory of the whole time, even the bits I can remember, is really foggy, and there's the section where I was actually out of it.
Have no idea why it happened. Whatever it was seems to have resolved.
Still scary as fuck.
