    Reminds me of that day in 2015 I tried to commit su*cide by intentional hyponatremia. because I’m a hydrohomie and I really love water and my body is accustomed to drinking a lot of water, so I thought excessive hydration would be a nice way to check out of this torturous earthly existence.

    well apparently hyponatremia hits differently for different people. The effect it had on me was:

    first vomiting the extra water, But I was persistent and kept drinking more,

    and of course lots of peeing, within an hour my pee was crystal clear,

    the next effect it had on my body, the only way I can describe how it felt was that every cell in my body felt puffy.

    I kept drinking,

    and after hours of constant drinking and peeing and vomiting and drinking more and peeing and vomiting for like 5 hours, I was exhausted and disappointed that I wasn’t dead yet, so gave up & fell asleep.

    next day I woke up fine but feeling actually pretty awesome because super hydrated. Felt physically awesome & healthy, so it gave me a little more courage to keep moving forward with this miserable earthly existence.
