Okay so today my parents just sprung it on us that we were going tubing
Basically tubing is when you legit sit in a tube and float down a river and I was like omg fun, relaxing yay! I'll put a picture of it above
Hell to the flerping no.
Today I had the worst experience of my life and I hated it a lot and I wanted to cry (actually pretty sure I cried during the panic attack but we shall get to that)
So anyway when we get into the river and I put my tube in and get on I'm expecting everyone in my family to stay together. Well the river obviously had a different idea because I floated way ahead of everyone and I tried to stop but my mom was like "No! Its fine, we can catch up later."
One thing that they had failed to mention about tubing were the places in the water where the water was very powerful. Basically it would shake you all around and you would go over really high waves and it would jerk you everywhere. The only way to keep yourself safe was to hold on to the handle bars and hope for the best.
Oh btw I can't swim thats probably important for this story
So as I start to go over this powerful water place ( I can't remember the name of them I googled it and everything) I was extremely scared and I almost fell off the tube at least twice. I was almost towards the end and then boom I fall into the water.
Now here's another piece of available info: My life jacket was tied to the tube and idk why my mom did it for some reason.
So at first I was like oh the river probably isnt that deep try to stand up.
It was that deep by the way. So my next thought was "Holy flerp you can't swim and you actually just breathed through your nose underwater you're about to die" so I was basically thrashing around in really deep water trying to make it to the top and every time I got up a little the tube would drag me down or around under the water.
So me being the smart person I am starts screaming every time I get up a little so I'm just over here casually dying and screaming freaking bloody murder and asking for people to help me. Finally this family that later told me they were watching me because they felt something bad was about to happen, came and got me and helped me up.
This is where the panic attack comes in.
They got me out of the water and I just froze and then started breathing really heavily and I couldn't think and everything was blurry and then I started shaking a lot and it was the worst thing I have ever experienced.
So they tracked down my parents blah blah and I got tied to their tubes and then we went and got my brother and my family survived the next hour and forty five minutes. Honestly those places of crazy water were the worst things in the world and I hated pretty much every second of that trip and I'm still sort of shaky and scared and I low-key got really anxious when I washed my hair in the shower. That's how bad it was for me.
My family wants to go back in maybe two weeks but I'm fighting to stay home because there is no way they can get me to float on that stupid river and bump into rocks and scrape myself, and hurt myself for two hours straight AGAIN.
Also yeah I'm not a daughter of Poseidon because ya know I almost died underwater.
But that's the end to this incredibly fun update full of happiness and land.
P.S- (I know tonight's nightmares are gonna be horrid)
OKAY BUT BYE WISH ME LUCK CAUSE I KNOW GOING TO SLEEP TONIGHT IS GONNA SUCK ALRIGHTY PEACE OUT GIRL SCOUTS HOPE YOUR DAY IS GOING/GOES GREAT
