Current Events > Have you ever passed out?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I have twice

One time I was awake for about 50-60 hours and passed out on a bridge when walking home.

Another time I was the gym and passed out during a workout for no apparent reason. It was turbo embarrasing.

The gymdude was freaking out because he thought i landed on my head when I fell but I'm 99% sure he was mistaken because I didn't feel a thing when I came too.

I sliced my thumb open once and my boss started poking at it to see how deep it was and it was like hitting the kill switch on my brain

Once after a heavy lift, but I was aware enough that something was happening and sat on the floor. I guess I was only out like 10 seconds or so according to a buddy that watched it. By the time he walked over, I was alert again.

I never passed out, I almost passed out walking up the stair in my apartment but I didnt for some reason.
my vision just started to become more and more obscured and everything seemed to get darker and the blood was rushing through my head it was awful experience that Ive only ever experienced like 3 times, hasnt happened to me in a good while since then

I've been knocked out twice playing sport.

Like actually KOed or just knocked down?

I've been knocked down 100 times but I've never actually lost conciousness playing sport

I'm not sure if it would count, but one time around 7-8 years ago I tried to commit suicide by overdosing on my medications and I couldn't breath in the shower, so I got out, put my clothes, tried to breath, and eventually blacked out on the bathroom floor and needed CPR.

I assume it counts, but some people have different definitions of passed out/blacked out/possibly dying. >.>

When I was 9. Was at universal studios, about an hour after we got to the park. Felt very queasy all morning. We were in line for something and I suddenly felt very weak. Next I know I was in a wheelchair.

Not sure if it was the heat, I was dehydrated, or it had just been too much activity for the week. Spent a ton of time swimming, we went to the beach, had done a day at disney and this was the second day at universal. Felt fine after getting some rest and food. Felt bad that my grandma left the park with me though. Think we went to Olive garden for lunch that day and I ordered pizza.

Yup when I was 14-16 years old I asked a girl (my gf at that age) to choke me out. We were playing the "choking game". I was out for only a second or two but it felt a lot longer. I felt very confused for a bit afterward

I'm an alcoholic

Don't believe so.

Three times that werent just drinking too much type pass out.

Once in judo when I didnt tap during a choke (learned my lesson). I got altitude sickness my first time snowboarding big mountains and passed out towards the top of a run and had to get sledded out. Woke up in ski patrol. Also got in a motorcycle accident and hit my head (with a helmet on). Made it home and then passed out.

A thick slice of wood fell on my foot and broke a nail. Went up the stairs to sit on the toilet and next thing I knew woke up on the floor.

Yeah and in some fucked up ways too.

Back in the height of my party days I used to have a habit of getting really fucked up and trying to walk home but not making it.

I once got woken up by cops at 6 am as I lay face down in a field. Someone was out walking their dog and thought I was dead. I've passed out in alley ways in Toronto as well when I was there for shows. Thankfully nothing bad ever happened.

Twice.

Due to a chain of reasons, unrelated to controlled or illicit substances, I passed out twice in the bathroom, winter 2003. I was home from college freshmen year for Christmas. I had just taken a long bath at my parents house. Opened the linen closet and proceeded to pass out into it. I busted my head open in the process.

I came to in a slump on the floor bleeding. Managed to pull on some shorts after standing up. I passed out again while opening the door into the hall. Came to with my mom sitting on the floor with me and my dad panicking over top of me.

Not fun! I had a scar above my left eye for years from this incident.

Seizures every now and then. Sometimes I can tell it's about to happen and it's a trip

This guy knows whats up

A few times from smoking too much weed, worst one was me slamming my head into the gravel, ended up with my whole face bleeding. still have a scar above my right eye from it (25+ years later)

Also had a blackout once, for which I was sober, I remember tying my shoes getting ready to go to work, next thing I remember is being at the last traffic light before geting to work. To this day, I have no idea how I got there

Yep. Been hit in the eye with a grounder baseball that popped up at the right moment.

Been hit in the back of the head with a golf driver, too.

Also got sucker punched in a club parking lot when I tried to de escalate an argument between my friend and a bunch of frat guys who ran off afterward.

As a teenager, I got hit by someone swinging a golf iron. I thought I was standing far enough away but the follow through got me almost directly in the eye.

I was lucky to not lose my eye. I had to get a bunch of stitches. I nearly passed out but somehow didn't from the blow.

Many times for a variety of reasons.

Literally KO'd.

Knee to the jaw playing rugby, and a cricket ball hitting my head (not wearing a helmet).

Yes actually

several from alcoholism and a couple from lack of sleep

also think after smoking potent marijuana

Tons of times. I had grand mal seizures (the type where the person falls and starts twitching uncontrollably) until I was around 20 or so. There was no warning or anything; I would just be busy doing something one minute, then wake up on the floor with a headache feeling really tired the next :<

Also, in the off chance someone witnesses someone having a seizure, please don't listen to the old wives' tale about them being at risk of swallowing their tongue. That won't happen, and putting something in their mouth for them to bite down on presents not only a choking hazard, but can also damage their teeth.

a few times. Does anyone remember the actual moments they're unconscious later after waking up? I remember I felt and thought absolutely nothing. A scary feeling to remember.

dude this post is also eerily similar to mine.

actually so strangely reworded you're joking, right...

I got hit by a speeding truck as a kid and woke up...I assume the next day? in the hospital.

It's hazy enough that I don't remember the exact timeline, but I was definitely out for a good bit there.
