I've had a crush on a fictional character for a year and wanted to get over my obsession with him, so I just went on character.ai and told him that he isn't real.

If these waste products are CNS depressants, wouldn't they cause you to pass out and sleep (similar to how people often pass out and sleep a couple hours after taking an ambien, for instance. Ambien is also a CNS depressant) before death happens?
Sort of like how your body prevents you from dying from holding your own breath by forcing you to breathe again once passed out.
How are there cases of people deliberately staying awake for so long they died? Wouldn't you just automatically pass out and sleep long before you got to that point?
Yeah that's what I don't get. After 3 days you can barely think straight. I don't know how the guy in China deliberately went 11 days without any sleep at all to watch a football game. It sounds similar to holding your breath until you die. He didn't have fatal insomnia so I don't get why he didn't just automatically pass out before he died and slept.
Was about to say this too. Can't tell a difference between most games made in 2013 vs 2023.
It can be frustrating when the world is a lot less accepting. I wish people wouldn't judge so much.
I wish I knew about pacing sooner. I was under therapy for CFS/ME through telephone sessions and they really helped me especially with pacing. I still have fatigue but I've been better at being able to manage it and realise my limits.
How is it possible that some people have deliberately stayed awake for so long they died? Doesn't the brain have a failsafe to force you to sleep before you die of sleep deprivation?
I've had so many blood tests done when they were trying to figure out what was wrong with me pre POTS/EDS/CFS diagnosis
You described it so well! That's exactly how I feel. I understand how frustrating it is, especially when it happens in public because people make so many assumptions. Thanks for the kind words ❤️
I have, but doctors don't suspect it. I find my brain fog correlates to episodes of bad circulation/low blood volume, in that it gets worse whenever my blood volume or circulation is low/bad. How did they diagnose you with MCAS and is it easily treatable? Thanks
It really is. I'm aware of every mistake I'm making but it's like trying to move my fingers rapidly when they're too cold, I can't stop it. Thanks for telling me about the ME community, I'll check it out!
That's messed up. I can feel your frustrations and I have the same thing too. My heart stopped during a tilt table test and I've passed out several times just from standing. I have to do so much just to maintain a low normal blood pressure.
