@nicegurl35 I am right there with you on that.

Have you ever gotten emotional while low? I have had a few circumstances when I was low and I began crying hysterical. I knew I was crying, not really sure why I was crying.. Even after the low I knew I had cried.. My other emotions are anger, I have had some lows where I was really mad, my wife (poor thing) woke me in the middle of the night because she sensed I was low (thats her 6th sense) and tested and I was 34. She tried giving me juice and I threw the juice across the room..

yes, a couple years ago I was a counselor at a youth day camp thing and I knew I was going low so I tested, can't tell you how low I was because all I remember thinking was I need food but I need to have the girls I was over watched out for, then I got really weak and sat down in a chair and told one of the girls to get me something from the vending machine which was in the next room, then I went to get up and started to fall and on of my girls held me while I sobbed, for no apparent reason.

Oh man, I've been there.... I hate that. Where you are completely out of it and just need food. That has happened to me many times.

Great Vid.

i could tell other stories from my friends perspective cause they told me what they saw me do. but that would mean what it's like to be low part 2.

some times i think it feels good ... but does anyone else get a tingling sensation inyoure arms before it hits you and then yyoure heart starts racing scary stuff other times though

Yes, ive had that experience also, in the past i could always tell a low, sometimes now - its just because i am pure exhasted and thats what lets me know, dangerous stuff, i know how you feel.

[whatever1210]

thanks. yeah it is pretty dangerous, what's worse is when i don't even feel the low, which is rare. the last time that happened was 4 months ago. so not cool.

Well done whatever 1210, good description of a low. Its a surreal dream-like experience, with the obvious danger. I get the shakes, sweats, tingling in the lips, hunger, confusion, lack of energy to move or even get food even though i know i need it and afterwards comes the unbelievable tiredness. Thanks again. Good vid.
