    Go eat something right away, even if it's just a snack! I once got a nasty concussion after skipping lunch at work and passing out. Trust me, the hospital bill isn't worth it.

      Although I can't for the next hour since its 1 and I get off at... 2ish, I'm used to being light headed so I can make it until then. I don't have much money to buy the expensive ass lunches here, but today is worse than usual, so I'll make an exception.

      But wait you're not supposed to skip lunch? I thought you only really had to eat dinner, at least thats what I've been doing.

        Depends on the individual, apparently. According to to the doctors I've spoken to, there's no bigger issue. I basically can't go more than 3 hours without eating something or I start to feel faint, which is definitely on the low end though.

          I think I've done it so much I can kind of disassociate from the pain long enough to last until dinner. If that doesn't work, chewing gum tricks your brain into thinking you've eaten, so I use that. Imma do that until I can see if I can snag some dinosaur chicken nuggets or smth.
