Truly, the wildest feeling is when you know that you're about to pass out.
(For me, at least) there is this moment of sudden realisation. Just a single moment when the fog clears and the only coherent thought formed is "Oh shit."
Sometimes, that feeling comes minutes before it happens; other times, it's only seconds.
Sometimes, it happens early enough that you can do something to try and stop it or attempt to make it safer when it inevitably happens. (sitting or laying down, standing still while your vision clears, and focusing on taking deep breaths)
And sometimes you turn to sit down, and suddenly you're laying on the floor, your wrist sore from hitting the counter on the way down, and unable to move as your body catches up.
Sometimes, you're conscious as you lay on the floor. Your body completely unresponsive as you wait for the lead weights to disappear from your limbs
Sometimes, you feel like you've evaded it only to realise that the water beating down on you is at the wrong angle and your music has skipped ahead, and when you notice your eyes are closed, you open them to see all the bottles are strewn across the shower floor, your legs folded beneath you as you slump against the wall. Your head sore where you must have hit the water control on the way down.
The one thing that never changes is the panic in your chest as you realise how badly the situation can become in just seconds if you're not careful.
And the sudden clarity that your mind is slowly shutting off and losing control of your own conciseness. That you're going to go down. You're going to lose seconds, and that thought terrifies you. Because seconds could mean life or death in the wrong situation.
