Oh god. Night shift nurses have almost killed me twice now. First time the guy had no idea what he was doing and ended up almost putting me into a coma instead of asking for help. Second time I went in and the night nurse kept trying to get my temperature, which she wouldn't be able to get a proper reading BECAUSE of my condition. I kept telling her and telling her. She wouldn't listen. Finally a doctor physically pulled the bed I was in away from her and wheeled me into the room they take heart attack patients to. My advice, if you don't know what's going on maybe the patient actually does know. Also pleaseeeeeee check for medical necklaces/bracelets.

Edit: Also thank you about the freckles <3

The first time I went into shock I couldn't move my body. I eventually got to the point where I very clearly remember seeing the room I was in and myself from a 3rd person PoV from the corner of the ceiling. There were things I saw the backs of that I had never seen when I went into the room (like labels on jars and stuff). It was really surreal and somehow calming. Never could explain it.

It's really weird! It kind of depends honestly. I don't overly freak out about stuff, but say if something, like a big dog, chasing me... my flight response works pretty well. Roller coasters and stuff still have the same effect. People scaring me still has the same effect.

It is really awkward when I tell my friends about it. People tend to think I'm kinda weird when I'm really weary about germs and stuff, but they don't realize its life and death. I also can't hang out with people late at night and I can't really drink/party. I play a lot of video games with friends all over the world into the late AM, so that balances it out in my opinion.

I sleep A LOT and I wake up really late. It's made life hard so I was been homeschooled and now that I'm at Uni I take all my classes after 11. It is draining honestly. I'm almost always tired.
