A BIG REALIZATION DURING COVID

-

  Yes eventhough I have covid in the title this entry most definitely has to do with epilepsy and seizures. I know that so very often in private conversations and some of my other entries I have chatted about my parents as a trigger but recently I am beginning to see both sides of the coin. Like I always got stressed becsuse I was being treated like a kid some days, then I had the day's of freedom. I always saw the treated like a kid well in my eyes as controlling or like a punishment.

 Now that we are in this pandemic and all I see the other side of the coin. They don't necessarily understand how I feel during or after a seizure. Buy like everybody in there own way experience stress. So I now get the worry they have. 

 Today I really saw everything in perspective after a bad seizure not grand mal but fairly bad complex. I was out for a walk because it's a nice day today. I know my area around house obviously but not like being in your own home. Like at home you know exactly where your chair bed couch. You know where they are so even being a bit out of it generally you can find them. It's definitely nice when you can sit and relax 

 So today my seizure while walking around my neighborhood yes I know area, buy its not my comfort zone. Plus you might get nervous you are going to fall for a couple different reasons. First off your outside lots pavement second cracks in road might not see and while having seizure or coming out of it trip. So I definitely see both sides.

    I’m glad you are home and you’re okay!! 💜💜 They just want what’s best for you but I definitely understand both perspectives as a parent and as an epileptic.

UNIQUE CONVERSATION

-
  Last month I had posted an entry about my average numbers of seizures in a day. Or at least what I thought were my average number that I was having. One of my epi friends and warrior Tiffany Kairos posted something to her story about the type of seizures she has and the number of them.   I sat back for a bit and thought to myself I knew my mom or dad or both were seeing a fair number that I was having. Like I knew that I would have between 2 or 3 a day average sometimes I thought 4 maximum of 5. I thought to myself the 5 would be my top out day so to speak. That was a relief in many ways.  Well I got a bit of a turn around where I showed mom the video that Tiffany did. My mom first said she felt bad but knew I understood the feeling. I asked her how she figured? Mom told me yes you know about 2 or 3 a day on average like your aware. Then often there are 5 more I might tell you about.  So more of a 6 to  in a bad day. She said with everything going on you ...

NEW BODY UPS AND DOWNS

-
 Today I found that I had both body freeze  and words disappeare from me. I was on the phone with one of my best friend's, she was talking to me through the whole conversation. Through much of the conversation I was freezing up for a good 5 10 seconds looking for the proper words. It has happened once before but it is or for me is a scary thing.  I almost felt like someone had taped my mouth shut, or cut my vocal cords. I knew what needed to come out but nothing was there to come out.   It was a very sureal feeling for sure, some have asked if it was like an out of body experience. In a way I would say that it was but I couldn't do anything in my "natural body" or on the other plain. A very almost enlighment of an experience at the same time a very scary one.   I certainly could feel myself having a mini panic/anxiety attack. It ended after I was no longer frozen that's why I use term mini panic and anxiety attack it felt like it lasted longer than tru...

FRIENDS FAMILY SEIZURES

-
 You may be wondering why I am adding seizures to this one. It will become clear in a bit. First off I'll start with my friends, I have always had very amazing friends in my life. At the same time I was putting myself in a bubble because I had always been in a catholic school. Outside of that I wasn't sure how to approach everyone the proper way.   Then when it came to my family that was the egg shell area for sure. Especially when I had to look at my side with the Christian side. It was very tense, of course I had certain friends and family i wanted to tell ages ago that's where the next part enters.  The epilepsy and seizures of everything. I never wanted too or purposely try and keep it a secret. So it was in back of mind I knew it was there and would have my seizures increase. So now my seizures have calmed more than they were over past years.
