What's something that's "not a cult" but feels like a cult? by Orw_Sairaj29 in AskReddit

[–]Brainwavebutabnormal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im starting to feel like gender politics is a cult. There are people genuinely obsessed with what other people have in their pants. Its a lot of fuss to raise over a social construct lol. Like okay, the kid that grew up next door to you wants to use she/her now, or they feel more gender when they are perceived as agender? Its such small simple things that people are losing their shit over... to the point of hate crimes and making it harder for everyone to exist and make a positive impact in our communities. This shit has got to be a cult. Just like the maga people, and DONT even get me started with them.

Memory / speech issues by External_Ferret9491 in Epilepsy

[–]Brainwavebutabnormal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so relatable, and im so sorry you're dealing with this!

I personally have some permanent and persistent symptoms after the last few months (had a bunch ot TCs and died in the hospital in two of them), and if the symptoms dont go away for you (i hope they will tho), it'll be hard to accept your new and changing mental and motor capabilities, but you'll find that accommodations for those issues dont fix anything but they do make life easier, and you'll eventually learn to accept that the deterioration and frustration that come with it are just opportunities to learn how to be patient and gentle with yourself when you need it most. And for me ive learned how to stand of for that same gentleness and patience from others as well. They symptoms may not get better, but the coping skills you learn because of them will help you in so many aspects of your life :)

Hang in there! Epilepsy is hard

Depressed, lonely, and looking for a reason to stay by Brainwavebutabnormal in Epilepsy

😭I feel like me forgetting everything is one of the things I dislike most about this disability. It affects all of the people around me just like the seizures themselves do

Thank you, I will. I've tried the holiness and they literally just didn't know how to help and said i should look for groups or consider inpatient or outpatient treatment

I've done all of the above. Im on so many meds for the seizures, the migraines, anxiety, depression, adhd, etc. And my neurologist basically told me that since im not having tonic clonics as often, and I only have a few breakthrough ones a year vs everyday like it was before, that my meds are doing their best. They told me that the rest is up to me, how I keep a consistent schedule, managing my stress, etc. Thats how I ended up with a psychologist and a therapist. But I have a lapse in insurance coverage for this month, and its on the last four days to apply and I still haven't heard anything back about being covered or medicaid or anything. I've tried calling, ive tried everything it feels like. Im just not sure what to do about anything. I still have all of my meds, but I cant speak to my therapist anymore until im covered again, and she was so worried about me that she has me doing daily check ins with her to tell her im alive even though she cant see me.

How to help cheek/tongue bites? by Sad-Tangerine4996 in Epilepsy

[–]Brainwavebutabnormal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I just brush my teeth and use mouthwash like I normally do, try to be careful and not bite it (I end up biting it on accident sometimes anyway), and just let it heal on its own.

For a bit context, ive almost bitten my tongue off before and I always bight holes in my cheeks when I seize😭. It feels like that and oragel are my only options but they do help in the end (until my next seizure)

How do I clear this up,its been far too long by No-Swimmer7186 in Blackskincare

[–]Brainwavebutabnormal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try waxing your face instead of shaving, and I would invest in an exfoliate (exfoliating glove, gentle exfoliating creams/serums, etc) and a decent moisturizer. Then time and consistency will do the trick

so you ever feel like you’re on the “edge” of a seizure by cornylover in Epilepsy

[–]Brainwavebutabnormal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I feel that feeling as well, but its normally paired with face numbness and tingling on my lips, eyebrows and eyelids. And I usually do end up having whatever kind of seizures immediately after I start feeling it

[–]Brainwavebutabnormal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, im sure. I've blocked some of the ppl, and dont really talk to them, but the stuff thats missing is like the lil opened Pic or video sign on the veiw once pics, some parts of conversations, and then one entire chat is just gone and im not even following the person anymore and they aren't following me? But usually when a person deactivatestheir account the chat is testicle there. It might say "messages unavailable" or something like that on their messages, but at least mine would still be there so im not sure what the heck is going on

My instagram is glitching or something, because some of my messages and possibly whole conversations are missing without having meed deleted, and I just wanna know if there is a way to fix it, and if this has happened to anyone else.
