had a heatstroke while playing beach vball today
One hour in and I started seeing lights; pink, green, blue, ALL the colors in the rainbow. I thought my astigmatism was acting up, but then my shoulders started hurting so bad that I couldn’t lift them up horizontally. My head was spinning and my vision was severely distorted, it was scary. I took a 15 minute break before continuing to play. Yet as the plays progressed, my exhaustion increased and my vision became distorted again— objects and people became blurry and the sun seemed abnormally bright, making the court pixelated and pastel colored. All I was thinking was, “ball..ball..ball….what the fuck is wrong with my eyes now??”
I had never considered myself physically fragile until that moment, haha. I went home early and got a sports drink and smoothie bowl. This was my first time playing beach and I was severely humbled 😭
