Last Friday I am sitting at my desk and worrying about my health instead of doing something productive. All of the sudden everything gets a red tint to it. I immediately freak out, I think I must be having a stroke, a tumor and/or some kind of attack brought on by any number of serious, undiagnosed and fatal conditions. I stand up and look around, still everything has this reddish tint. I was in complete panic. I nearly passed out and I felt like heading straight for an emergency room. I head for the WC to splash some water on my face and when I get inside, all the colors are normal. I feel better but confused so I leave the WC and just then I happen to look out side and I see that a storm cloud had passed in front of the sun and was causing the strange hue. I immediately feel better. Now I work on a floor with hundreds of people and I am sure that I am the only one who can mistake a storm cloud for a stroke in under 5 seconds. I had to laugh at myself and I hope you get a good chuckle out of this too. I have to laugh or I will cry.
Good luck

Thanks for sharing that and yes I've been there under different circumstances and felt pretty dumb afterwards!:blush: :D Laughter is good medicine

That story is uplifting because I sure see myself doing the same. It's also interesting because it shows how quickly panic can cause the feelings you had. For me, it's immediate (my tummy, usually). Cute ending, it's good to occasionally see humor in this.

That's hilarious, j2! Though I appreciate that it must have been terrifying at the time.

A similar thing happened to me last year. I was sitting outside of Sainsbury's waiting for my mum to finish shopping. I was already panicking due to some other mysterious health problems. Anyway, as I was sitting I looked down and noticed that my hands were blue. Blue. I immediately started panicking and repeating 'my hands are blue' over and over again. I thought I'd lost circulation or something and they were about to drop off. After about a minute I realised that I'd been sitting underneath a blue-tinted roof! It was either glass or plastic and very, very blue. I still remember that incident because it really highlighted how ridiculous the whole thing was. It made me more determined to get better. So...that's my story.

:D This reminds me of the time I went for a wee, and what came out was completely dark pink/red instead of anything resembling normal colour. I freaked, of course, until 5 seconds later I realised that I had a "healthy moment" that morning and drank a pint of beetroot juice... :blush:
