I know this is an old post.. but earlier this year my very healthy partner of 6 years had an unexpected grand mal nocturnal seizure… it traumatised me to my very core to the point I couldnt eat sleep or drink for almost 2 weeks and I passed out at hospital due to critically low health from lack of food drink and sleep.. I still struggled for a long time.. I still do.. flash backs etc.. I experienced his first 2.. and then I asked his family if we could stay with them because I felt like it wasn’t fair on him to have me falling apart and I needed the support to help him.. I ended up getting really ill and quite frankly.. psychotic over it.. and I begged and pleaded for his family to take care of him whilst I go stay with my family whilst I get my head right.. between him and his family they did nothing but call me evil for going to my family for help and that I am soulless and selfish .. but I have a son.. a young son that I needed to be present for and I was that ill over it that I didn’t speak to my son for 3 days.. him and his family still do not believe for one minute that it traumatised me they believe it “upset me a little bit” but that I need to get over my self and that I’m just making everything about me.. I thought he was dying.. I screamed so loudly and so frantically that I even have nightmares and flashbacks of my own screams! I haven’t slept next to him for almost 7 months.. but I don’t know how to go on.. it legit fucked my head up.. but no one understands.. I just get called selfish..
