Title: Going Without Food or Sleep
Post by: Bordmb on July 24, 2012, 09:08:30
As I write this, I haven't eaten anything for 33 hours.
I haven't slept in the past 20 hours. (Not quite a day, but I'm not sleeping for at least another 8-12 hours.)

Note this wasn't by choice. I have no food in the house, nor means to get food right now and I couldn't even begin to sleep though I feel like a zombie because the heartburn... acid erosion? reflux?... is quite painful.

Surprisingly I stopped being hungry about 4-5 hours ago, which surprises me and kind of worries me at the same time. I fear if I eat now, it's probably going to make me quite ill.

This may cause my horrible insomnia to return. I used to stay awake 2-5 days straight until I would crash standing up. I refuse to take meds unless I absolutely have to. It seems that the lack of food, while keeping me awake, is drastically speeding up the effects of sleep deprivation. I'm already having a hard time focusing and I can tell I'm not quite all "there" in the head.

Anyways, I just wanted to get some feedback and perhaps some suggestions as I'm just a kid a know my limitations in the rational thought department.

You need to eat. If I was close by I would bring you some food and green tea for your stomach. You really have no options? Even a cup of soup or ramen?

When you do have a bite to eat...  Eat small and slowly.

Oh god, I wish I would've checked this thread before I made the mistake of informing my grandmother of my situation... She came over and fed me until I really got sick. I love the woman, but geez lol. :-)

Anyways, spirits are lifted and belly is full, though it feels like I ate a brick. Thanks for replying though guys and I'll go get some green tea later. I usually have some but I guess I drank it all last week.
