Unfortunately that's what caused the problem! :)
My husband isn't as happy as I am as a hermit, and of course my son needs his mom to be reasonably social, and my therapist is always encouraging me to develop a social network.
So yesterday I stretched myself socially further than I have in a long time. I prepared well for it, it went well, and I was very happy. I was thinking that this wasn't so bad after all, and was cheerfully contemplating taking another step forward.
Then it hit. Out of the blue. Perfectly happy to completely incapacitated.
It reminded me of the first time I gave blood. I was happily lying on the bed they had, and thinking that I would sign up to be a regular contributor because this wasn't bad at all. Then the nurse asked me with concern if I was ok, and I answered cheerfully that I was fine. Then the next thing I knew, I'd passed out. It took an hour or two to get me back on my feet, since I was young and had very low, borderline for giving, blood pressure at the time. They told me thank you and please don't give again.
I hate those sucker punches.
