So as some of you may know, I have been suffering from a lack of nutrition and constant illness for a while, now, and especially so recently.

Something that used to happen to me a lot when I really wasn't eating, was that I'd pass out for short periods of time, and feel extremely cold.

And lo and behold, tonight after having a fever for 2+ weeks straight and not eating well, I passed out, again. When I came to I felt so cold on the inside, and realized it was because my body was numb. I sat on the floor for a long time feeling like I was both going to throw up and pass out, and could not get up because I was too weak to move my arms or my legs. When I was finally able to (with extreme struggle) lift myself up, I looked in the mirror to see that my skin was tinted grey and my lips were completely white.

I honestly felt like I was dying.

And unfortunately for me, I still need to go to school tomorrow and the next few weeks for exams.
I honestly need to fix myself in the up-coming little while.
I realized this some time ago, but when I got sick and really couldn't eat, I was so over-joyed at the thought that it all might make me thinner.
But what I described above is probably the worst feeling in the world, and akin to the time I got carbon monoxide poisoning.

So I love you all very much, and you've all been so great to me in the four months that I've been here, but I think I really need to take the next month or so off to try and get myself back together.
I will definitely still submit things in the next week for Temple news for Halloween, but other than that, I don't think you will be seeing too much of me for the next month or so, maybe longer, idk yet.

Idk what this is, really.
I'll keep you updated.
Idk how to end this.

Love you guys :heart:

Get medical help and fast. Your professors should be willing to give you accommodations for and make up work. Or if you feel like you absolutely can't miss class, at least tell a close friend about your situation and narrow their notes if you pass out again.

Yes, please seek medical care. You can get a note from the doctor to excuse you from classes/exams.

Echoing what Clawford and Jenna said, please seek some medical help. Whether it's your doctor, emergency at the hospital, or the campus health people, that sounds like an emergency and, if I may be frank, a pretty terrifying situation. I can't stress enough that you shouldn't take this lightly, and please don't try to just power through it. It's a lot to shoulder alone.

I think many of us have grown to like you as well - we understand, and you should definitely take the time to care for yourself first. You're in my thoughts and prayers, Whims. Please take care.

Wishing you health and happiness, Whims.

I think you should shoot your professors a few quick emails and let them know you are having some emergency health issues and won't be able to attend exams -- this happens all the time and they'll have a back up plan for you. It won't be a huge deal to them. You don't need to and really shouldn't be going to school, at least not tomorrow. Have a friend or parent take you to a clinic, maybe your campus one, and get checked out. It wouldn't be overreacting to head to an emergency room right now, or at least have a trusted friend come sit with you in case you pass out again. If you get on a better health plan in the next few days rather than in a few weeks, you can probably get back to your exams and other things you'd rather be doing sooner rather than later. But health has always got to come first, as much as we want to power through things.

Keep us posted Whims, we'll be thinking of you!

Please please please take care of yourself Whims! My sister was in a very similar situation years ago so I've seen how bad the shit can get. School and work is not worth it when it comes to this point. This all sounds extremely serious. And when your mind has told itself that it's a good thing and that you'll get thinner and that you need to get thinner in the first place, it's difficult to do it on your own.

There are people out there who can help you. Both to get you to eat better again and get the thinner thoughts out of your mind. Real proffesionals who do not judge you and will help you through all the pain, the crying and screaming until you feel like yourself again.

See this latest passing out as a final warning sign. Your entire body is telling you that it can't take much more.

However you do it, you need to take time off school for this, and if taking time off internet also helps then do that too.

Get better brah :werebarret:

Your health comes first, Whim! Please seek medical treatment right away. Don't forget to contact your professors and university friends about your situation and check if you can do make up exams.

Thanks Poui.

Well that's a little extreme!

Take any length of time you need. As usual, I'm always on skypw unless I'm sleeping. Eat more sweet potatoes. Those things are the tops.

Take care of yourself and always remember that everyone here understands that life takes precedence over the forum. Keeks and Jenna are right, you can talk to your professors. They're usually understanding and from what I know. You're the type to excel; my advice is to take a week, see a medical professional and just recover. Have a friend take notes - or ask your professors if they habe notes they can give you. You can catch up after without too much difficulty

If your school doesn't have medical accommodations something is wrong.

With a doctor's note and if your profs aren't jerks you should be able to make things up or whatever your profs would want.

Hope you get better.

Hey Whims,

I know we don't speak much anymore, but just know that I (and really, all of us) care about you and your well-being. Take care of yourself, and when you're ready to return we'll still be here to welcome you back home.

Until next time, my friend.

There's no way I'll lose!

I'm in agreement with everyone else here. I hope you have sought medical attention by now. With midterms just now finishing up I hadn't been keeping up with temple the past few days.
This is serious though. I know you don't want to hear about the possibility of having anorexia nervosa, but I have taken Abnormal Psychology at university and was tested on this extensively. You pretty much have all of the symptoms.
This illness is both very common (.3 to 1% of Canadian women have it) and fatal when untreated, so a professional can determine if you qualify or not and what steps to take.
I'm serious about this. Even if you don't think you have it, seek a professional diagnosis. 5-20% of people with this die, almost always due to not being treated.
Please please take care and don't worry about exams until you've recovered and a doctor has given the okay. Definitely contact them though.

UPDATE
I'm not dead lol
Thank you all so so much for your concern! It honestly means the world to me
Illness-wise, I'm still sick and it's almost been 3 weeks, but I am decently better.
I still went to do my exams this week.
Trying to eat more, but it's very hard.
The idea makes me sick and so does actually ingesting anything.
But it's a little better, and I had breakfast a couple times this week, which is something I haven't done in like 4 years ahah....
Anyways, thats it for now, thank you all for your messages, I didn't honestly think anyone was going to care this much.
Considering seeing someone about this.
Don't really want to.
Kinda really hate the idea but we shall see.
Spent too much of my life in a hospital, just kinda don't want to waste anymore of it there ahah....
Later guys :heart:

Inform tgem that if a stay is required you would prefer an outlatient program if possible. They should be willing to work with you.

You're still a great person, and I've told you that before. Glad to see that the forum here is a place you feel welcome, everyone is super nice!
