I think you are upset about a wrong thing. You should be upset about being so horribly out of tune with your body that you did not listen to its signals until such signals reached the level of an extreme (you passed out). Normally, one is in tune enough with their body to recognize what is and is not good to them without suffering from extreme reactions. If I were you, I would - on a symbolic level - apologize to your body for treating it so harshly, and make a deal with the body to listen to its signals and to appreciate all the work it does for you - you walk, sleep, have sex, etc. because your body works for you. Have some respect and appreciation for all the work the body does for you, and pledge to treat it far better from now on.
