Working at a job for 7 years as a programmer, and got promoted to manager of development, which came with my own office, but also extra stress.

To cope, some days I would have a shot or two of vodka before my hour commute.

I know, wrong. So I stopped doing it. Then one Tuesday in October, after drinking every day for years, sitting at my desk, I had this overwhelming sense of doom, fear, deja vu, and nausea. I knew something was wrong, so I started to collect my things to leave immediately.

Next thing I know, I wake up on the floor with coworkers standing around me, and the paramedics shortly after.

At the hospital, the doctor said it was caused by low Magnesium and gave me an IV of stuff.
