Carbon monoxide leak/poisoning.
You going to be ok?
I hope so. Glad you got out, Vector. Hooray for functioning detectors?
It was a chronic leak I was exposed to for the past two weeks, and I'm still having resultant problems with depression. Whee, depression. I was doing so much better, but now I'm back to sobbing for multiple hours a day every day. I hope it's not permanent. I am alive, though, and if it didn't cause too much brain damage, soon this will just be a memory.
Well, it shouldn't be. Just need to wait for the red blood cells that the stuff's bound to to get out of your system. And, in all likelihood, you've probably not received brain damage. Or, at a minimum, no permanent brain damage. The brain functions remarkably well without sufficient oxygen, it just doesn't work properly.
And if it was severe, they'd have probably gone and given you some blood transfusions to keep your oxygen up.

Without knowing the specifics, you're more alright than not. While CO is poisonous to the body, there're limits to how much you can 'contain' [excuse my terms -_- I'm not good with them in exacts]. Hemoglobin and all, they'll get filtered out in time as greatorder said.
Just a general reference.Constant exposure over a long period of time
and in high amounts is, however, deadly. Given your case now? You're alright. If there's any sign of permanent damage, check it up.
...And I'm unsure if depression is linked to that at all ._. Wishing you well over there Vector...Dealing with thoughts needs time, understanding and reinforcement. Don't let the :c thoughts win. Some of them are attachments of feeling to an idea and some of them are just >_>
Also *hugs to all the people here*
I'm going to college tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it about as much as I look forward to anything. With dread. Lots of dread.
This is going to be so much fun. And by fun I mean horrible. I'm not going to get into the college of music. Or the highly competitive audio engineering department. I haven't been practicing enough and have no real prior experience with recording or editing, despite having equipment to at least dabble with and having more than enough time to at least try. No motivation to do it. Don't want to do it. The dream is dead. The thought of doing it now just stresses me out, because it's a thing I have to be "good" at. Everything stresses me out. Doing nothing stresses me out. And if I'm not doing music crap then there's nothing else I would want to major in. There's no reason for me to be doing this college shit. There's nothing I want to do, because everything I've ever tried to do has just made me miserable. I have no plans for the future. I have no future. So I'm a failure.
I swear I'm never happy anymore. Just temporarily distracted from the stress and misery and fear of failure.
So, in conclusion, wah wah wah, angst angst angst, FML.
The conclusion does not match the description--it's like a downplaying of a problem there :s
Anyone to aid ya over there with your outlook? It seems there're tiny bits of thought there that are coloring your perception judging by the many uses of general words (ie Everything/Nothing) and...then placing them to describe all your actions. Stop fearing failure when it isn't even happening, and even then, look at how sensible it is; do convince yourself that fear is not in the present, but it
stares [= Focuses] on a possibility. Then check how that possibility comes about before you believe in it.
Try talking to your parents [any experienced people there] about what inhibits you? Because seeing how the words develop here it seems there's a big leap of 'just because I don't have it in the now means I will never have it'.
....Erm, how do I describe leaping to conclusions here :S
Also...I really doubt you should be 'good' at music to join the college of music. I can see you've the aptitude for it. Why not go for it?Sad: Mmph, english wording skills may be a bit unhinged today -_- Gah. Can't get the impact in my sentences right. Sorry.
Related sads: My sister and her family came up to visit for the weekend.
Sister and my niece are both sick. Flu, most probably. My niece is crying, and has been crying since the last hours because of the pain :S
And that makes me recall my times as an infant with the same pains...oh dear
