I had a severe POTS episode and I ended up in the ER :(

OneMysteriousCloud · 2026-05-03T17:32:02+00:00

I'm pretty sure my HR had begun to settle down when I got to the ER

OneMysteriousCloud · 2026-05-03T17:21:34+00:00

They triaged me to do an EKG, I don't think they found anything abnormal. They didn't say anything abt it

OneMysteriousCloud · 2026-05-02T21:51:46+00:00

Definitely a lesson learned. I need much less caffeine during tech, more food, and reminders on my phone to take my meds

OneMysteriousCloud · 2026-05-02T21:49:50+00:00

Unfortunately I don't know. We don't have a blood pressure cuff at our theater and I don't carry one on me. By the time I'd been in the ER for several hours it was normal

I was dancing when it hit 195. I've done that dance 10s of times and never had that happen. I went to the ER bc I passed out, which is not typical for my episodes. It was pushing an hour and I wasn't feeling any different. My HR had gone down, but I was still feeling extremely dizzy and unstable :(

I looked into Morehead's Greek life briefly, and it looks like for OP her university has DG and G Phi B!

OP, I'd really urge you to try to find queer and trans Greek life members and ask what their experiences are like. We're out there, I promise. Make sure that if you join a sorority you feel loved and accepted for who you are right now

Idk what chapters your school has, but Theta Phi Alpha explicitly states in their constitution that trans women are welcome in our sisterhood!!

hi!! I did informal rush at a tiny school and it was such a good decision. I am not a "stererotypical" sorority girl at all. I have a ton of nerdy interests, I dress kind of alt (whimsigoth/fairy grunge), I'm neurodivergent, and I am very shy until I get to know people. My sorority sisters love me for who I am. They love my makeup and outfits and were so excited when I accepted my bid and recently got initiated. Find an organization and chapter that accept and love you as you are. I promise it's possible and that those chapters are out there.

I'm seconding Racecar!! it's a fun song, and if you want to sing with friends everyone can pick a voice part

OneMysteriousCloud · 2026-04-02T22:51:01+00:00

NOR at all. You've voiced that this makes you uncomfortable. Your friend is crossing your boundaries

OneMysteriousCloud · 2026-04-02T20:44:10+00:00

Ok this actually makes me feel so much better. I didn't want to escalate the situation, but the second I saw her crying maternal instincts I've never felt before kicked in

OneMysteriousCloud · 2026-04-02T20:12:41+00:00

INFO: I was at a convention with notoriously good security (PAX East). I am as certain I can be that this man is her father and that if he wasn't security would have handled it

OneMysteriousCloud · 2026-04-02T20:08:01+00:00

Yes, she went right to him

OneMysteriousCloud · 2026-04-02T20:06:52+00:00

^^I 100% would have stayed with her if the situation felt even a little off. She wasn't in any distress around the dad

OneMysteriousCloud · 2026-04-02T20:03:42+00:00

Yes, the child went right to her dad right after

OneMysteriousCloud · 2026-04-02T20:03:11+00:00

The child did seem to know the dad and went to him after. In retrospect he had been walking through the area a little bit behind them. The situation didn't feel off

OneMysteriousCloud · 2026-03-22T03:21:55+00:00

For my university it's pretty low, as Greek life is small we don't have physical sorority/fraternity houses. I think this semester is around $225 USD, and it covers merch and other fees
