I had to leave work early because I got sick and I feel pretty stupid.

I have nobody to blame but myself for the situation because I'm always trying to run a marathon on E for empty. I got roughly 5 hours of sleep last night which is the first mark against me. These days I'm doing great if I manage 6 to 6.5 hours a night. I also have a horrible habit of forgetting to drink water throughout the day so I'm usually at varying states of dehydrated and did not drink anything today until recently. Eating admittedly is something I don't do a lot of either because I just forget to eat or don't feel like it. I'm usually a one meal a day kind of person and that's typically dinner of some sort of a late lunch. I work mornings usually so I go in tired which is normal for me and I make it most of the day until my last hour hits. I had gone to the backroom to see if we had more of something when my heart rate spiked and I began to feel out of sorts. I felt disoriented but I knew where I was but somehow felt isolated to what was around me. My breathing felt shallow like the air wasn't fully going to my lungs and I had to tell my boss I didn't feel right. Luckily he let me go home early and I sat in my car for a few minutes to make sure I was able to get home. I stopped at a gas station for a gatorade which helped tremendously.

I feel pretty stupid for pushing myself too far. Even sitting down now I can feel how rundown my body has been feeling as of late.

For what reason do you push yourself?
To what end?

Self preservation wise, alarm is a thing. You can set as many in your phone and train yourself to eat and drink or sleep at those times it rings.

@Casheyane I'm not sure if there's even a reason. It's something I've never really given thought.

@separatetheheart Maybe you should spend time to think of it first. Give yourself the why, and get to know your own heart.

Self destruct is not a choice we humans normally choose if we are aware. Kindness and understanding are things you can offer both to strangers and to your own self.
