hi everyone! I'm giving a little background about what has been going on in my life the last year for some updates and stuff. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- so within the last year and a half, I've been dealing with a condition called heart syncope. this condition is when you have a sudden loss of the brain and causes you to feel lightheaded, dizzy, or pass out / faint. this is usually caused by dehydration, overheating, anxiety, or low blood pressure. this happened during p.e early in the school year. class and I got a concussion because of it. so last year I was super busy trying to make school up and take standardized tests. It was very hard for me; if you know me, I'm a perfectionist and a workaholic. during this time I also developed a lot of anxiety and on a lot of days, I did not want to do anything at all because I was shaking so much. This caused me not to be cleared from my concussion about 2 months ago even though I had a relatively moderate one. during the summer I broke my drawing tablet and was not able to get a new one so I was offline for the whole summer. now to the beginning of the school year this year, I was very busy and until now I haven't had time to do anything. so my usual coping strategies ( crocheting, reading, jewelry making, and drawing ofc ) were non-existent because of all my after school activities and school in general. I started having frequent anxiety attacks during music lessons and just walking through the hall at school because of remembering the traumatic experience of passing out and almost passing out ( which is almost even worse ), making me more prone to faint, and also creating a cycle of the fear of fainting to then causing myself to faint. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I would like to make notice that I am not the only person going through syncope and that you are not alone in this and you are so loved. we are in this together. I definitely am not a therapist, cause drama, nor here to draw attention to myself. I just want to inform you all what has been happening and the reason for my long disappearance. I would also like to ask for any advice on what to do during these experiences or how to avoid some of these experiences! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thank you for bearing with me and I hope you all stay safe, healthy, and happy! -Phantom <3
