I'm afraid this won't be as eloquently stated as Lightning's articles on proper bathroom etiquette, but I try.

A week ago I was sick as hell. I don't know why, I just felt like crap, my body sagged, head pounded, life sucked. I contemplated whether this was it, I was finally dying. "Not like this!" that's all I was really thinking. I thought about all the wrong I did, the little bit of right I did; I thought about my whole two decades of life so far and how I've accomplished prettymuch nothing. I thought about the petty arguments we have online about nipples and scars. I really thought it was going to be all over and no one here would really know I was dead.

Then I thought about how I'm not even supposed to be alive in the first place. My heart was very weak when I was born, some sort of hole in it. I was hooked up to some machines periodically as a child so they could check in on it, I supposed to see if it was getting better or worse. Determined not to die from some heart problem, I exercised vigorously to hopefully make the heart muscles stronger. I guess it worked because i'm not dead.

I guess I'm not so easy to kill. Ha ha ha ha.

Now I feel alive again after days of wondering if I was dying or not. TIS GOOD TO BE ALIVE!!!!!

Oh well that's my story.
 
Why do men always overreact when they're sick. I'm saying this as a man myself who notices this frequently in other men, though I don't react that way myself.
 
I know.

This will liven it up.

This wasn't just a flu or common cold. It was a terribly unpleasent period of basically being a zombie. Imagine feeling only half alive.

Try having a disorder that makes you feel like this for 7 years.

I'm pretty sure if its as bad as you say you'd be in the hospital under constant survallence. Otherwise you're exxagerating.

Would have gone if I didn't become healthy. It was so bad, i couldn't eat food, just drank water. That should tell you how serious it was. I dunno... must have been food poisoning, I still don't know for sure what the cause was.

Sounds like you just had a stomach virus. I know how those feel. But to think you're gonna die?
When I look at my friend whos been hospitalised twice due to sugar shock, I thank God a stomach virus so far has been the most of my worries.

Terrible. :csad: Hospitalization's really scary. How did the experience change him?

I wish he had your appretiation for life. At this rate I'm sure they'll amputate his leg by age 40 or so. Guy can't stop it with the sweets. Like a heroin addict or something only in his case candy will give him the same results. Temporary relief for now, death down the round.
 
Well this is the most depressing thread on the hype
 
Yeah, it does. When I was born, I had problems where they didn't think I would last the week, and I've been through three major surgeries in my life since I was 5 years old. It makes you think. People always say live life to the fullest, as it may be your last, but they don't even know.
 
At the bathroom reference, I thought this was another toilet story. Something like, "The massive dump I had last night felt like it wanted to kill me"
 
Those craps suck, when it hurts for a good solid 5 minutes after.

People who work in an office are like that all the time.
 
Imagine what the world would be like if death could be cured through a simple poo

That. Is. Dumb.

Next time you think you're dying of a heart attack, visit a hospital instead of going for a run?
