Had a scary start to my day

First, I don't know where this belongs so put it here aha. 

So I woke up this morning with my arm under my pillow so I'm guessing I slept on it, which is like yeah cool that's pretty normal. But when I saw it I was like is that my arm? See the thing is I couldn't feel that arm what so ever it's like it had detached itself whilst I was asleep. Now because I could move my arm and had no motion or feeling in it I decided to use my other hand to pick it up and move it from underneath my pillow in hopes I could make it work again, but then I touched it, it felt like I was picking up an inanimate object and definitely like it wasn't part of me, cos again I didn't feel it one bit which was so strange!! Eventually, I used my working arm and hand to move my fingers on my not working arm to try and wake it up, and about an hour after I woke up I had succeeded and my arm now functions again, Yayyyy!!! Although it still feels a little weird and tingly almost 3-4 hours later.

So yeah, to say the least, I had an eventful morning. Hope you enjoyed the story of my morning! ahahaha

    Ah sounds like your arm went really dead from sleeping on it? Glad it functions now!
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    It happens when your arm is not getting enough blood, can feel spooky tho, you could try clenching and unclenching your fist until the vein on the back of your hand pops up a bit. This gets lots of blood pumping through your arm :)
