What If You Were Made of Dark Matter?

What would it actually be like if every particle in your body converted into a dark matter particle? And how long could you last in that state? Everything that we can see in the Universe is a massive mash-up of electrons, protons and neutrons fused into atoms. It's what is called baryonic, or just ordinary, matter. Your body is made up of it too.
But there is a lot of stuff out there that we don't see, stuff that we call dark matter and dark energy.
