Mental Issues

Not really in that way, but more like physically. I'm beginning to wonder if I have some sort of fatal disease or something... If you've known me for a while, you know that I get headaches every so often, and major migraines like, once a month. So basically, today at school, my head was sort of hurting, but I didn't think it was that big of a deal, then I got home, and it got worse. So I ate an Advil, some food, and went to bed. Then I woke up for Chinese school, and my head hurt so bad I started crying, but then I forced myself to stop because I had a midterm in Chinese that I can't miss (we don't have school next week, and it would have been unfair to everyone else if I got an extra 2 weeks to study), and ate another Advil. So I got to school, and it started up really bad again, so I got through Part I of the midterm, then the migraine, coupled with the bright lights and noise (yesh, our class is noisy even during a test), overwhelmed me, and it started hurting like SH*T. I swear, you guys can't even imagine the pain unless you've experienced it. it feels like my head was in a frickin vice, and there were millions of tiny people inside my skull, smashing it with pick axes or something. So I started sobbing like an idiot and Michael (who was sitting next to me) was like, "Oh my gosh, are you sure you're okay? Just calm down..." I think he thought I was crying because I couldn't get the answers on the test. XD So I was like (in my sad, weepy voice), "I'm not crying because I'm stressed, I'm crying because my head hurts like hell." Then I started getting those white dots in my vision, so I could barely see what I was writing on the test. By then, it was already after break.
Then, as if it wasn't bad enough, my vision totally went. Gone. All I could see was white, and I was like, "OMFG, WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!" So obviously, I didn't finish the test, seeing as I was crying and cowering in pain for like, an hour and half. So the teacher let me take it home, which makes me wonder, "Why the heck did I go to Chinese school in the first place, if I didn't even do my midterm?" So basically, everyone was done with their test by then, and mine (which I will finish later) was in my backpack. Then we had this raffle thing, and after the raffle, Stanley and Jimmy kept coming up t me and stealing my glasses since I couldn't tell if they were taking anything or not. Then they started holding up fingers, and asking how many they were holding up, and I (being blind) just said random numbers. Everyone was really nice though, it's not like they were all, "OMG ERICA'S BLIND! LET'S GO STEAL ALL HER STUFF AND PUSH HER INTO THINGS!" Then after school, I was still blind, so i was like, Aw sh*t, how am I supposed to get home?" So Jimmy and Michael had to lead me out of the room and to the parking lot; then Michael had to find my mom and help me get into the car. It was rather embarrassing. Then after a few minutes (my mom went off to find her friend to get something), my vision came back in a few seconds, and I was like, "Thank God, I can see again." Then Jimmy passed, and I went out to talk to him ad his brother (Max), and we got around to talking about the Matrix, so I went into the back bend, and that was sort of fun. Then Jimmy was all like, "What was it like being blind?" So I just said it was all white.

Basically, I'm really scared now, because either it was just a side effect of the migraine and overload of light or whatever, or there's something wrong with me. =/ I really hope it's the first, because it'd just really suck if I had some weird disease, or if I was to be blind...
I feel really sorry for all the blind people now, especially if they became blind (because then you actually know what it feels like to be able to see), and weren't born that way. it's a feeling of utter helplessness, because you can't really tell what's going on around you, besides from the sound, and someone could totally just do whatever around you and you wouldn't even notice...
