i do things sometimes

I'm about to go play a DnD one-shot with a few friends of mine and it just hit me how wonderful that friend group is.

Oh, right, I never posted what I wore to that one dance...

Hey girl. Favorite word, question?

fun fact antidepressants can cause low sodium levels.

IS THAT WHAT THAT’S BEEN ABOUT??

You may also have various other health problems, folks. Especially if you’ve had Covid-19 even once. A LOT of people who did not have chronic conditions are going to find out they have or have worsened chronic conditions.

Standing up and blacking out for a few seconds, especially absent any other symptoms, is in most cases caused by some combination of low blood sugar, dehydration, vitamin/mineral deficiencies, and sleep deprivation. Certain medications can exacerbate this, either by directly affecting the levels of certain electrolytes in the body like one of the comments mentions, or by suppressing the appetite leading to malnutrition. Conditions like depression and ADHD can also lead to malnutrition. The first thing to do is make sure you’re getting proper hydration and nutrition. This is good for you no matter what! You also need to do everything in your power to get adequate sleep, or at least more than you’ve been getting if this is happening.

Yes and most often what is wrong is that your body is not getting hat it needs due to some combination of chronic malnutrition, dehydration, and sleep deprivation. I used to black out for a few seconds when I stood up all the time. I started getting more sleep and eating better and drinking more water and it stopped happening. Now I take meds that decrease my appetite and sometimes I fall into unhealthy habits. If I haven’t had anything to eat or drink all day sometimes I’ll stand up and black out for a few seconds. If if I’ve had food and water it never happens.
