Today, I was on the subway when I felt like I was going to faint. I got off the train at the next stop, walked to a bench, but fell over and passed out. When I woke up, I looked around at at least 25 people, who had stepped around me, passed out, in the middle of the platform. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was on the train to work. I was up late the night before, causing me to doze off. When I woke up, I was at my station. I stood up, went to walk out of the door and fell flat on my face on a platform full of people. Someone had tied my shoelaces together. FML
Today, while on the train to university, I realized it was my stop and quickly stood up to get off. Or I would have, if my leg hadn't gone to sleep and caused me to fall, landing face first into the crotch of the old guy in front of me. FML
Today, I took a train to visit a friend and fell asleep for what felt like ten minutes. I woke up at the final stop with the carriage empty. The doors opened, I stepped onto the platform, and immediately realized I had no idea where I was or how I'd got there. FML
Today, I was on the train when I fell asleep. Everything would have been fine but I was suddenly jerked awake by the very loud sound of my own fart, followed by the stares of many strangers. FML
Today, I was having a dream that I was climbing out of a well. While almost out, I felt someone grab my knee; I screamed loud in terror. When I opened my eyes, nearly 25 people were staring at me. The lady across from me apologized for hitting me with her bag. I was on the C-train. FML
Today, I was rushing to get on the train to work as I heard the "door closing" beeps. I was about to step onto the train when a man pushed me out of the way so that he could get on. My handbag fell out of my hand into the carriage. I stayed on the platform. FML
Today, I was sitting waiting for my train for a long while. When it finally came, I had pins and needles in my foot. When I got up, I fell and unsuccessfully stumbled towards the train. The doors closed and it left without me. FML
Today, I was riding the train and fell asleep. A friend of mine got on a few stops later, and to be funny, shouted 'BOO!'. I woke up and was so startled I peed myself. FML
Today, while waiting on the platform, a blind man asked out loud for some help getting into the subway car. I helped him through the doors and into a seat. I decided to sit down as well. Twenty minutes later, I realized I was on the wrong subway line. FML
Today, I fainted on the sidewalk. When I woke up, I was still lying on the sidewalk, people were stepping over me and my purse was gone. FML

There were 25 people who stepped over you and passed out? You may need to wear less perfume, or something.

That's how the world goes today unfortunately.

Honestly, a subway station is not an uncommon place to witness homeless, narcoleptic or other very tired people fast sleep. In which case many people may not have even raised an eyebrow to a seemingly typical circumstance. Now those who witnessed you in the process of fainting... Well they suck.

OP passed put on the ground. I've seen homeless people (or people who looked like they were homeless) taking naps on benches, in corners, and up against walls or posts, but I've rarely seen a homeless person passed out on the ground in the middle of a platform. Moreover, I'm guessing OP did not look like a homeless person.

I constantly have panic attacks over the fact that it could happen to me.

A lot of witnesses pretend to be non-witnesses these days because they are selfish and/or worried that they will be caught up in something they do not want to be caught up in. Regardless, if they have a conscience, they should inform the appropriate people about a situation. Whether or not they explain the situation in detail is up to them, but at least notifying others about it is the right thing to do.

Well if I was there, I would have helped. Not everybody is an apathetic dick in this depraved world.

Honestly if I saw someone passed out on a bench I wouldn't think it was a medical issue, I would think someone was sleeping on a bench. Maybe that's what everyone thought about OP.

The way I read it, she fell over before she made it to the bench. So she was just in the middle of the platform on the ground.

Ah. I read it that she made it to the bench and just fell over on the bench. Yeah, people don't typically fall asleep in the middle of the floor...
