Poll: Ever Lost Conciousness?

[Spiner909]

I have. It's doesn't really seem that bad to me. There is never any pain when I wake up. I've been knocked out by vehicular accidents and medical drugs a good many times. I despise medical drugs. I always wake up being so thirsty.

So have you? What's the story behind it?

My story.

Spoiler

I was on a snowmobile. Going down a huge mountain about at about 70 mph...Russians right behind me, helicopters shooting...I hit a huge gap, but was shot in midair. I then crawled to the escape helicopter.

Spoiler

Okay fine. I hit a big snowbank and fell of the snowmobile while it hit a tree. The snowmobile is obliterated into a thousand pieces, and I broke my shoulder. But it makes a good story.

I also passed out in Wal-Mart. Kinda lame, that.

EDIT: Sleeping naturally only half-counts.

 

[Dags90]

I try to sleep daily, if I can.

 

[x434343]

Pass out in hospitals and when getting shots. Rather not go into detail with the hospital one.

 

[The Night Shade]

No never

 

[Magnesium360]

yep, concussed myself by hitting my head really damn hard. Explains a lot actually.

 

[arsenicCatnip]

I fainted at one point because my house was too warm. At least, I think that's why there's the blank patch of about 2 hours in my memory. I didn't fall asleep, things just went black.

 

[hopeneverdies]

Second grade at recess. Wasn't looking around when someone falls on me. My head hit the asphalt. Woke up ten minutes later in the nurse's office.

I've also passed out in the middle of class before. Not sure if that counts.

 

[Irridium]

I have once. At a friends house.

We just made pizza, I was standing and about to get a piece. Then I got dizzy, everything got quiet, and everything went dark. I felt myself hit the floor, but it didn't hurt. One minute later I came to and was fine.

Still though, wasn't the most fun experience I've had. But it was oddly peaceful. Its really hard to describe, but it was oddly calming. This may sound contradictory to what I said about it not being the most fun experience, but it wasn't fun. I realized what could happen and it scared me.

Man this is a hard thing to describe...

I almost did again when watching a video during drivers ed. Apparently people have the "scare them into safety" program applied. And they showed us one fucked up video of accidents.

Some of that stuff... ugh.

I asked to be excused to the bathroom. I got outside the room and just sat down to take a rest. Got better, and got some water.

I wasn't the only one either. Like 3 others did the same thing.

 

[bismarck55]

Got knocked out by a punch for a couple seconds back when I was an asshole, and didn't have a clue about fighting.

Edit: I accidentally voted "accident" rather than violence. heh

 

[senorcromas]

Well, once. I was spending all day on my couch playing videogames, as I was sick. When I finally got up to get some dinner, I just passed out. then I woke up a few minutes later.
It was probably because I got up too fast.

Laaaaaame.

 

[Spiner909]

I'd love to faint some day just to experience it.

A wise wish, but keep in mind it can be pretty painful later depending on how it happened.

 

[cerebus23]

Ive drank myself into a blackout and apparently am the exact same as when i am sober, having come out hung out, partied some more, then just went to my room and passed out for good. Noone even knew i was blacked out cause the last bit i remember that night was going to the bathroom to rinse my face off and take a wii, i do not recall anything after that, but apparently i came out chatted with my buddies smoked a bit for about a half hour then just suddenly got up went to my room and wokeup there the next morning.

college days ftw.

 

[Brainst0rm]

I've had a surgery or two (no, three? I don't exactly keep track). Those count I guess. Never been knocked out though or, like, fainted. Fainting is for sissies, amirite?

 

[S.R.S.]

Trampoline accident. Those things are evil and yet surprisingly relaxing.

 

[Hazy]

I'd love to faint some day just to experience it.

It's a little like fading to black.

OT: Twice under anesthesia, once due to heat stroke.

 

[Marter]

At least 3 times because of concussions, and once because I was put out to have tests done to me in the hospital.

The concussion times were as follows:

1) I was about 5 years old. I beat some kids at hop scotch. They pushed me into a wall.
2) I was playing soccer on a recently waxed gym floor. I slipped and slid into a wall. Continued playing afterwards.
3) I actually cannot remember the third time, but I've been told it's been three concussions so far, so I take people's word for it. >_>

Dang. 3 times? No 'fence meant, but it seems it is starting to catch up with you. Don't worry about it. I'm on my 4th. I can't remember anything under 8 years anymore

I have a something I like to call a "selective memory" anyway. I need to actually feel attachment to something to remember it. I'm not certain this was caused by the concussions, but it may have been. I can't even remember what I ate for breakfast yesterday, but I can remember things that have happened years ago, if they made me emotional in some way.

You've only done that once?

Well the only time I've really passed out (blackout isn't passing out. You're still up and about, you just cant remember anything) was the first time I was drunk.
I was 14, and had never really tried drinking before. I apparantly passed out around 10pm, and woke up 3 hours later in the hospital with my parents standing there...lol.
Interestingly enough they weren't pissed at me.

My story is rather lame as far as fainting stories go. About a month ago, I'm playing a game in order to relieve stress for a play I'm in later that evening, and it's time to go. I slip momentarily and kinda scratch the side of my thumb on one of metal speakers. Apparently, I jammed a radial nerve or something, because I get upstairs, get my shoes on, and head outside to wait for everyone else when I suddenly think "Okay, I just jammed my thumb, why the hell does it so damn mu--" *wakes up sideways on the walk* Odd bit was, my family never noticed me collapse, they were busy inside, so I didn't tell them and went on with the play. It went perfectly, haven't fainted ever since.
