A post to talk about weird life experiences

I wouldn't say mine is "weird"

Just crazy

So I have a massive fear of needles

MASSIVE

But I wanted to get my ears pierced

So when we took a trip to Texas a while back (three years, I think) we went to a mall and got my ears peirce in the jewelry store

I was shaking so violently and so jittery

I only did my right ear at first because I wasn't sure I'd be able to handle both ears

They pierced it and I was like "Oh, that's all? I'll do the other!"

So I got my ears pierced

Hooray!

That's not what this is about

Ww continued to walk around the mall and suddenly everything turned yellow and some sounds were loud and others were muffled

I was dizzy and my body was weak

I honestly thought it was all in my head so I ignored it

I was in the back, my dad ahead of me carrying my sibling, and my mom in the lead

The more we walked the worse it got

I was losing balance so stumble up to my dad and grabbed his shoulder

Then I passed out

So, everything after that is hazy

There was a screeching sound, the world was yellow, and everything was loud but muffled

I was in between conscious and not

So apparently, as I collapsed, my dad caught me with his foot right before my head hit the ground

I don't remember that part, but I do remember suddenly being in a chair and there was people all around us

I thought it was a dream because I was pretty much numb and nothing looked or sounded right

Plus, I was in a chair when last time I checked I was walking

Anyways, my mom was suddenly giving me a drink and kept saying "drink the tea it will help"

I thought she was crazy

It was obviously Fruit Punch

And I hate tea, so I know the difference

Nope, it was tea

When you pass out your taste buds don't work how they should and so I wasn't tasting it right

Nearly spat it out when it tasted like tea

Anyways, to make it less scatter brained (and more accurate since I was half asleep) this is how my patents explain it

My dad caught me with his foot right before I hit the ground, a random guy that was passing grabbed a chair and slid it to us (by Mom says that he did it so smoothly that it was like he was waiting his whole life to do it), a nearby drink shop gave us the tea for me (my mom tried to pay them but they refused it, only wanting me to get better), then a woman that works at another piercing place explained that it was from my adrenaline going down

My sibling was so worried for me when it happened but as soon as I was fine she started mocking me, saying that I did this and copies my eyes fluttering and nearly collapsing

Now that it's over it's funny but when it happens it is scary

I have now gotten my left eat repierced (it got infected), will soon redo my right (infected), gotten my right eyebrow pierced, and will soon get another piercing in my ears

This helps me get over my gear of needles, too

Now when we do these or I go to the doctors I only have minor panic!
