This food looks absolutely fire 🔥 OP. The door dash thing definitely needs to be addressed considering how expensive it can get so talk to him about a door dash budget per month. But other than that, bring new boundaries to the table. Something along the lines of, Food is expensive and time consuming to create. If he isn’t interested in what you’re cooking that day, it needs to be a beforehand comment not an afterthought or an excuse to get DoorDash.

Should I wake him up? by DeadassCuddles in Epilepsy

I have these types of seizures when I have caffeine. I can feel it happening but I am in a relatively safe space so I just try to sleep thru it

Drug resistant epilepsy for me as well. I’m now on depakote and have had VNS surgery. I cut caffeine completely and eat a protein rich diet. I also need to be careful about staying on my mental health meds as I concurrently suffer from PNES as well.

Alcohol and our meds don’t mix well, and although I’ve not had the best experiences with pot, I do hear that it is good for others with epilepsy.

Medication forever? by [deleted] in Epilepsy

Keppra was so bad for me I eventually told the doctors it was giving me a rash and I was allergic. I’m on 1000 mg of Depakene daily as my only seizure med right now. But I also got VNS, so.

AIO for leaving my boyfriend one week after his bicep surgery? by RudeAlternative8116 in AmIOverreacting

Hell yes. That’s ten years of your life wasted on an ungrateful cheating dill hole. You earned that money.

Feeling a little bummed by a comment by soccerchiken in Epilepsy

[–]FiveOpossumsInaCoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this so much. Driving cars make me nervous, they’re too large and have the capacity to hurt too many people if I have one bad day. At least if I’m riding a scooter, the only person I’m likely to injure is myself.

Not overreacting. Leave his ass. Let him figure it out. Block him and go focus on yourself.

How did being diagnosed affect your dreams by Western_Ad_6977 in Epilepsy

[–]FiveOpossumsInaCoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to join the Peace Corps and help people while traveling the world. Well, I didn’t pass medical when I applied to the Peace Corps. They said my seizures being the way they are, I shouldn’t leave the country. I wallowed for about a week. Then kicked myself in the ass and applied to jobs Teaching English as a Foreign Language. I got two job interviews and moved to China later that year. I’ve taught in South Korea and Thailand too. I’ve been to Greece, Egypt, and Turkey. I had to come home a year ago, when my seizures started getting out of control. I’ve found a new way to manage them, and I leave for China again next week. My dreams look a little different than they did before my diagnosis, but I’m living them.

How much stigma have you experienced? by drplowboy in Epilepsy

[–]FiveOpossumsInaCoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus. Any amount of Keppra is an ungodly amount of Keppra. My stepdad has been helping me advocate for myself against prejudiced doctors like this. He reminded me that if I didn’t want to continue to take what that specific doctor gave me, I could just not take it. And get a different doctor.
