So, it's been a rough 2020 for me, I know it just got started, but it has already been pretty rough.
The end of January started off with me passing out unexpectedly in my kitchen and landing on my face causing a concussion. Me, being the workaholic that I am, went right back to work 7 hours later completely unbothered about the abrasion on my head. I ended up in the emergency room later wondering why I passed out, but they were more concerned over whether or not I had a concussion, and if I was bleeding on the brain or not. I got to go home, take some Advil and just take it easy, try to stay away from bright light and loud noises. A week later, I still had symptoms, so I went to a neurologist. After seeing the neurologist, I was diagnosed with something called complex migraine, which is just another little something I have to deal with.
February was rough trying to deal with a lot of the complex migraine and concussion symptoms, because they still haven't completely gone away. On top of this, I was also planning the move out of my apartment and into a brand new one, I started feeling a little sick towards the end of February and was sent home on the last day of work with a cold.
On Sunday, March 1st, I had quite a few friends helping me move from one place to another and I felt alright. I kept being told that I was too stressed, and that's why I had this cold, it was my stress cold. The next two days, I felt this cold getting worse, even though I was trying to make myself take more breaks, relax a bit more. On Wednesday, I did something I never do, which is call out of work. I didn't feel well at all. Thursday, I went into work, even though I felt like I shouldn't have, got sick on my way in, and didn't last long, because next thing I knew, I was on the floor and paramedics were checking my vital signs. I ended up in the Emergency room getting fluids and many tests done to see why I nearly passed out again, and why my blood pressure was 86/40.
I have been dealing with different medical issues my whole life, but sometimes you really just need some time off to get it figured out, but in this economy, and being a workaholic, I can't take that time off, and it's very difficult for me to really take a break. So, when I actually do take that break, I fall very behind on my bills, which causes more stress, which puts me right back into the position I'm in right now. I don't like asking for money, I'm not one to ask for handouts, but it's truly a time of need for me, so I am asking for some help if you can.
