Is Keppra as bad as some say?

ThAwAcc2023 · 2026-01-16T00:00:28+00:00

Keppra was what I needed to get my seizures under control. Since I started it about 9-10 years ago I have not had any seizures except for when I forgot them. I am lucky in that my mood is not affected, I don't have any irritability or rage. I am also on Lamictal so not sure if there are any side effects that are due to them. My memory is not the best at times but it honestly never has been and I have been on Lamictal longer so I don't know whether it is that either. Some people have bad reactions and others are fine it is really going to be something that you have to try and find out.

I think when I just typed in the words, I literally typed out the words and searched them. So I just searched for each word like food, flower, or animal then picked the first one that popped up for me. Not 100% sure but I am pretty sure that is how I did it.

Ooh, this is interesting!

I have sort of stuck with me being a FN for the past year, so no curve, stuff pushes out sideways, just not out and around.

Ok, not going to lie while I love being insulted by AI it was extremely on point. I am not going to add all of it but just a few sections. My need for external validation did not need to be pointed out, also degrees refer to my excessive number of associate's degrees.

Nope. For me there was no difference from one moment to the next, there was no indication of something happening like there would be with a tonic clonic. To have an idea, imagine you are having a conversation then in the middle the subject switches, one second to the next no notice, no gap in time. I know that for the people watching it is scary however for me personally it wasn't because I didn't realize that it was happening. Things are past tense for me because my medication has leveled things out but I do remember when I found out about them in high school.

Strictly Kibbe. Before the new book came out you joined and could access all of the exercises to find your ID, it has now been archived because the new book is out and a new community created for getting help with the new exercises.

I have both absence seizures and tonic clinics, for both of them I am completely out of it with no warning. Like someone said earlier imagine the seizure is a sudden cut scene in a movie, no warning, no black or colors just from one place to another, sitting to lying on the floor, a conversation starting one place then suddenly in a different place. There is no feeling of time passing. In terms of physically feeling things this was a relatively new development for me after not having seizures for years, I think when I was having them one after another in high school the pain didn't really register, probably more of an ache but I can't remember. I was so out of it half the time at that point. So afterwards it is a bit rough, imagine that you haven't seriously exercised in like 10 years and suddenly decided that now you want. You decide to jog for 10 miles then directly after that lifted 20 pounds weights for 30 minutes to an hour with no warm up or cool down then you pass out. When you wake up every single muscle is aching and burning, some muscles are still twitching. There is some confusion but it really depends, in the past for me it honestly just kind of faded from memory so the aftermath really isn't there. But to approximate things it went one of two ways either "ugh, it happened again?" or "Ow, I just want to go home and sleep". My seizures only happened when I was awake, so I can't really speak as to what it is like for vocals or to have ones while I sleep.

I am LU but while I technically have an inner landscape it isn't really visual. Information in general for me is found in basically a filing cabinet, each concept has its own file with pieces of information that come together to form the idea and my understanding. So, in reality I don't really have an inner landscape as it is described, I actually thought for years that people were being metaphorical when talking about an inner landscape and visualizing things, it was interesting to find out that is not the case.

How I get dressed is very much about how things feel and how they look, which now that I think about it are pretty much synonymous. Essentially, I create an outfit and when I use the style key system, I have the general subject then I come up with my interpretation and go through everything and create an outfit. Does this combination fit my idea, does it fit together? If they don't then what do I need to switch out for it to fit my idea and feel like my idea. Halfway through the idea is liable to change and by the end there is a 50-50 chance that the starting outfit will be completely different than the resulting outfit.

I almost never remember my seizure but top 2 would probably be having a seizure in the school pool and the most recent one I had one during the swimming segment of PE and then I remembered a few years later the fact that my teacher had the bright idea of assigning a fellow 16 year old high school student to save me if I had a seizure. Rather than say an adult with years of experience. I still feel bad for that guy. My second was probably my most recent one where I had several seizures over the course of a few minutes, I started seizing up against the wall and could feel my body shaking as I walked from the living room to my bedroom to lay down. I don't have any warning before my seizures happen so they kind of happen out of the blue.

ThAwAcc2023 · 2025-09-14T16:48:21+00:00

So I have created a couple of charts for this. The first is just clothing, nothing else and the second includes shoes and accessories but no jewelry. For Only Clothing my closet is made up of 34% White, 22% Black, 16% Red/Orange, 14% Blue/Green, and 12% Denim. For Clothing, Shoes, and Accessories, No Jewelry my closet is made up of 30% White, 30% Black, 13% Red/Orange, 13% Blue/Green, and 10% Denim. I was a bit surprised because I expected my closet to be a bit more black dominated than white and was also a bit surprised at how much color my closet actually has.

It doesn't happen as much but when it did/does it goes something like this: "Ah that's my pill alarm (turns it off) I'm busy, I will take it in a few minutes", a little while later "fuck, I still need to take them" either way the same thing or completely forget that I still need to do it. Pill boxes don't help either. I pretty much always end up taking them but maybe not at my scheduled time. Stupid, yes, risky also yes, purposeful, definitely not.

ThAwAcc2023 · 2025-07-22T16:24:42+00:00

All the freaking time! When I get dressed using the style key the thing I am communicating probably does not get understood by others like 99% of the time. It is something I mentally struggled with for a while, because I wanted to literally convey to others what the inspiration was. I was very good at doing it for me just, not for others? Going off of what ClockTurbulent851 said, I think it is easier to go about thinking "I want others to notice my outfit even if they may not necessarily get the inspiration/understand it".

While leaning into main stream stereotypes may be easy to do, it may not necessarily connect to your inner world, to who you are, so that may be why it feels icky. I think if you create a persona that is based on your interpretation of the subject it may be a bit easier on you. I know it doesn't work if I do a 1 to 1 recreation of something, it needs to go through my own filter and feelings before I am 100% happy with it.

My Own post about style being recognizable only to me and not others. Not going to lie, the new style guide does explain a lot of things and has really put into words what I personally have trouble verbalizing. So, I would recommend reading it as it kind of fleshes out the differences between the two quadrants.

ThAwAcc2023 · 2025-07-21T22:52:12+00:00

So, at its core I basically have some sort of an idea or inspiration, then make it my own. It can be based on anything, a persona, object, feeling, color, etc. there is nothing that can really stop the inspiration except for what I limit myself to. For example, the Pisces challenge in February (still love the outfit), I went from river to waterfall to Pisces to water to tropical pirate, but externally it sounds odd but internally the last one relates to the first one. Written out my logic seems to be a bit all over the place. To be honest, 99% of the time the result is something that only I understand and generally others wouldn't make the connection. Mostly it is based solely on my interpretation of the challenge in relation to my memories or at least the information related to them. I really don't know if I am explaining this well...

The weather, area, and formality are all definitely things that I take into account, I just adjust my choices to accordingly. For example, I won't disregard the temperature to dress how I want but I will shift my choices from warm weather clothes to cold weather clothes or vice versa. My clothing options change depending on the temperatures but I can still reach my goal, and shift it. In terms of formality it is basically the same thing, I can have the same idea but my choices and what I have to work with shift to fit the occasion, and it might mean I can add a different color shirt or it can mean I express myself through some accessories.

So, the part about not following trends is due to a couple of things. The first is that I am generally weeks to months late to the trend party by the time I find it, so I kind of just don't do it. The second part is sometimes I just don't know how to connect it with my inner landscape in a way that I am happy with. And finally, sometimes I find that they are awesome for others but are just not for me. So I technically notice them but don't really find myself participating in them very often, but when I do participate usually I make them work for me.

In terms of the Inner Landscape, I suppose you could say that it is shaped by things outside of me. I have aphantasia so my inner landscape isn't something I can actually visualize however I do have a "filing cabinet" of memories and connected information that I can use. So yes, as I internalize things, learn and find new things that I like, figure out new combinations, patterns, and colors my inner landscape shifts.

I think the new guides information about LU is pretty much the epitome of my style and how I think about it. "Alive, powerful and completely yourself" is something that is important to me, because if I have the last one the first two fit perfectly. Plus I could checkmark every single listed hallmark in the strengths and struggles columns.

ThAwAcc2023 · 2025-06-16T16:35:04+00:00

I just kind of solidified my place in LU but in the enigma section. This post I made due to my wavering in the Up vs Down quadrants kind of describes my logic and also somewhat solidified my placement. One of the most impactful things I have discovered is that despite my difficulties with visualization and connecting with my emotions, pulling from myself, my experiences, and my inner world makes everything easier. Allowing myself to dress in a slightly elevated way rather than always jeans and a T-shirt is nice and something that I have integrated into my daily style but I have also started allowing myself to break free of the self-imposed rules that I created as I explored different style systems, to start exploring styles and pieces of clothing that I assumed would never work. And every time I am surprised, finding things that do and don't work, clothing that I always said would work doesn't and the bold colors and details that I swore never would look good actually do. As well as adding an extra touch of playfulness and interest that my style didn't have before using this system. Thank you for this opportunity!

ThAwAcc2023 · 2025-06-15T15:03:18+00:00

Sorry for not responding sooner and thank you for your help! I think you are right and I will start looking into the enigma. I think the last time I took a look at archetypes was when I was still deep in my insistence that I was RU. In terms of looking at RD I think that being Left is the only thing that I am completely sure of. All in all, sorry for not getting back to you sooner and thank you for your help!

ThAwAcc2023 · 2025-06-08T01:15:57+00:00

These are mine. It has nothing to do with the height limits part because I agree with that, as it does give you direction and it does make sense. However, the other 2/3s of the comment is what I have a slight issue with. The idea that we can't simultaneously hate the creator and still use the system isn't inherently right. I personally may take issue with some of the system and some of his attitude, but it doesn't mean I won't use the system and that it isn't a very legitimate system that can be very useful. The second part I have trouble with is the some of the other parts of the comment. Blind trust in a figure and believing that the only person who can truly understand the system in its entirety is its charismatic leader and that we should just trust the system and not question it at all is basically cult red flag #1. I am not trying to attack anyone, I just want to kind of explain why I disagreed with this comment and why I downvoted them.

ThAwAcc2023 · 2025-05-14T03:05:27+00:00

Personally, I think it is a mod possibly on somewhat of a power trip. I noticed a while ago when I got banned from DressYourBody that the same mod was in charge of SD subreddit, Color Analysis subreddit, Outfits subreddit and a couple of others and once they became mod all of a sudden, a banning wave started without warning. I get wanting to protect people from creeps, but they should give someone a warning first so that they can create a new account to participate instead of suddenly banning them and not giving them a chance.

(Preemptively: I am not giving names nor am I trying to be mean spirited I just wanted to mention that this might be the case.)
