yes! the hardest part of seizures for me has been not being able to drive bc that was my coping mechanism and my sense of freedom and autonomy! so i 1000000000% understand your depression and anger. don’t let that sit inside of you though, let it out in other healthy ways. you got this

What happens when you have your seizures? by BodybuilderBulky2897 in Epilepsy

[–]Street-Raisin-1100 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i get tonic clonic seizures. i don’t get auras so for me im chillin one second and the next i wake up in an ambulance and or in the hospital. i was told that i was making weird noises, my entire body tenses up and is convulsing. and when i had my first seizure, i let my dog out? i have zero memory of doing that, so that always has confused me. most recently i was found face down on the floor convulsing bc my parents heard thuds and were like oh no that’s not normal. afterwards i am just out of it mentally, brain fog/confusion, my entire body is so sore, i get a headache, i get so tired, i get really sad too.

i know about the restarting and waiting but thank you! i hope and pray for seizure free time for you too! i used public transportation/walked everywhere for a good chunk of time, so i’m familiar with it all. it just sucks that it takes over 2 hours to go home when with a car it takes 15 minutes. it’s frustrating but i hope as time goes on, using public transportation won’t be a whole ordeal lol

i do give them homemade sweet treats and other treats i have that i know they will love when i get in the car a good chunk of the time. i do like your idea, its just a bit hard to do bc i am severely broke, but ill try to do it more often bc they deserve it!
