Have you ever felt like you were actually going to die?

OK I might seem like I'm exagerrating but I actually felt like I would die. I have a very busy schedule and so I barely get enough sleep or even have time to eat. So this afternoon by 5 pm I had only eaten once in two days. And gotten like 8 cumulative hours of sleep. That should've been OK at least to manage but I felt dizzy, weak and like I would faint at any moment. And whenever I was 'falling asleep' while in the staff bus I'd feel like I'm about to drift into some sleep that I'd never wake up from so I didn't sleep. To add to it all since my friend died a few weeks ago the tiniest things have made me just think of death. Because my friend's death was very unexpected, he was healthy on a Tuesday afternoon and he died on Friday of the same week. Even now its midnight but I just can't sleep because Im worried that I'm going to die

It sounds like grief, exhaustion and not enough food. The food and the sleep you can deal with relatively easily. The grief will take time.

To answer your question - yes and no. No I've not felt like I'm going to die but yes I have felt the severe emotional effects of the things you describe. My first step is always eat enough. My second is cut out caffeine. My third is sleep whenever possible. The emotional side, in this case grief, can only be worked through when basic life needs are addressed properly (food and sleep).

Twice.

Once when I broke my spine and was just laying there unable to move in extreme amounts of pain before getting emergency surgery.

And once when I accidentally overdosed on caffeine pills hoping they'd help me stay awake and half my body went numb and I nearly passed out like 4 times during it.
Damn. You're young! Get off that. Go to the ER. Gets some blood work. You are way too young to be thinking like that! Maybe it's a little blood sugar thing or something.

@puck61 I have to do this internship to graduate and the place I got is pretty far from where I live so its a 3 hour journey to work. I wish I could just have time to rest but I can't
@rickfreeman15 I'm guessing just hypoglycemia or exhaustion....I have no idea though. It's just not good to hear talk like that. Hat's off to you for the effort you make to achieve though! 馃憤馃徑
