Bowled over

[tinkerbell23]

I frequently see people on TV who are literally knocked off their feet by news or something!??

Like fall to their knees? Nothing has ever made me feel this way....mabye thats a good thing!!!!

Is it just overly dramatic!? Or do you think you can or have you been totally bowled over!?

Mabye if i won the lotto!! X

[ummmm]

Depends what the news is. When I got the knock on the door to tell me my Uncle had died, I started puking.

I personally think u can- i dont think its drama!! And i believe i could probs vomit at things....my stomach is the first to go with nerves!!!!!

It's happened to me once on some news I took badly. I felt I couldn't hold my own weight up so sort of crumbled to my knees.

Happened to my friend once in a hospital
But she was "frowned upon" made to feel daft ..x

It has happened to me on more than one occasion.

[bednobs]

yes, when i was told my friend had died i collapsed

[EvianBaby]

It shouldn't be frowned upon. It's just a sudden urge of emotion (usually bad unfortunately) and I think in most cases it really can't be helped, just happens. Although I'm sure there are some who add it for dramatic effect.

Thats awful.....

Well i hope i dnt have to experience it then...xxx

When I was told my uncle died I started being sick and fell to my knees and couldn't get up and when a close friend of mine died suddenly I collapsed.

hugs.... So we can confirm its something that just takes over! Xx

I would think it maybe has something to do with the adrenaline rush from the shock?
It has only happened to me once, when my husband had an epileptic fit and lost 2 years of his memory. The shock just over came me.
