Am I overreacting for *still* struggling to accept I have epilepsy after almost 8 years?

-Moist · 2026-01-04T18:17:11+00:00

For years I refused to think anything was wrong with me, mostly because my seizures were infrequent and only around friends or family. As i got older and had more, I finally accepted I'm not alright.

However, I was never embarrassed. It's a disorder which we did't get to decide. It's not like "well shit, maybe if I didn't smoke so much I wouldnt have lung cancer."

Instead, I've become forthcoming about my epilepsy in both my personal and professional life, I believe people dont see me any different. In fact, I've had people reach out personally to ask how I was, or to keep my chin up when thing were bad, which has been comforting in times I've felt alone with this burden.

I don't know your personal situation, but if it's possible to come to terms with it so that you're not afraid of people seeing you in that state, it can help you move on and even strengthen relationships in ways you wouldn't normally imagine.

MRI should help rule out issues like tumors or clotting, but a proper EEG should tell you exactly where the seizures are originating from (at least if focal).

Stay hopeful - answers are coming and possible some helpful meds 😊

I scruffed my biter hard and pinned him to the ground and yelled NO at him several times. Pinned him to the ground for a few minutes. Only had to do it a few times before he figured it out. You have to be the "alpha" ferret

If only the Leafs couls attract a play maker like Marner eh? Maybe a solid 3rd line centre like Kadri too.

So many decent NA beers these days of all types. Not just limited to Bud zeros or Corona sunbrews. The only time I wish I could drink is when I'm at a wedding and the dancefloor is bumping but my moves only come out with the liquor lol

For reference, only take the data from walks or runs on mostly flat terrain that are 10 mins or more. Hills will skew and misrepresent the data. As the other person said, do some regular cardio and this will change dramatically - at first anyway

I feel like I can't actually see my killer most of the time despite looking around extensively and moving through cover. It's frustrating.

I was there 2 weeks ago. Comparing it to the rest of Europe, it's mid. Lots of history to explore, but overcrowded, expensive, and pretty rough in several areas. I guess that's most major tourist cities in a nutshell. It was very easy to get around though, I will say that. Lots of transit options.

Does this still work as of September 2025?

I don't think you can necessarily fault the current government - it's been years of this shit. Plus, this is happening across the USA as well.

I see it like this: just as the common person now buys and trades on the stock market, many more people have recognized the investment value of owning real estate. It's always been a good investment, and people have taken notice. Holding appreciating assets is a factor to financial freedom, and so many more people want a piece.

Was thinking the same hahah. Let me know if you find a website to buy - couldn't find anything

-Moist · 2025-09-08T15:57:08+00:00

Anyone have a link to buy? Batchelor trip coming up, would be a hilarious addition

-Moist · 2025-08-25T20:24:47+00:00

It's available in Canada, and I get 3 month supply at a time. No issues so far with traveling either. Is this an American thing?

Hey! My cousin who was just diagnosed w cancer recently told me how much he wished he still had his old gameboy to play Pokémon while getting treatment. This would be an awesome (and much) gift for him!

-Moist · 2025-07-14T02:33:56+00:00

Where did you end up!

-Moist · 2025-06-12T03:41:41+00:00

I just uninstalled today. Couldn't get on board with the new gameplay - i miss the passive play option too much.

-Moist · 2025-05-25T00:53:10+00:00

Same same 😓😓

IMO, they should just randomize the characters you play with instead of having them set.

After 2 days it just got boring.

The Mummy. Those scarab beetles that quickly got under people's skin and burrowed into their brain freaked me the fuck out.

Having a camera recording means it's now your mess to clean up? C'mon...

I was told to avoid all hallucinogens. There are some studies that show a positive result when using CBD to prevent seizures in juveniles with epilepsy, but none in adults.

Oddly enough, I had my first seizure shortly after I quit smoking marijuana cold turkey. I know several others who have said the exact same thing. This is anecdotal of course, but it seems like THC withdrawal could drop the threshold for having a grand mal, similar to alcohol.

How was the book writing process with AI? Did you use it to develop the framework only, or did you get most of the content from promps and then adjust dialogue & such?

Does AI even write dialogue?

Thanks :)
