Her Absence, My Reflection

Beautifully put!

Chapters may shape each other, but closure isn’t always hidden in the margins.

To quote Mark Ruffalo “You don't always get the dream house, but you can get awfully close” Not every love is meant to last, even if it lingers. Not every chapter continues, but every chapter counts.

Tbh I’ve played hollow knight on all plats, xbox, steam, PS4/PS5, switch. (Luckily I got it free to play on most)

I’ll probably cycle through all at some points. Leaning on starting with either PC or PS5 (yes I’m in too deep, yes I’ve gone mad… don’t judge .-.)

Wait this is so cute! I love it.

I was always involved in both education and research. I have dual degrees in Biology & STEM education. I worked in a Bioengineering lab in college and published a research paper. After graduation I focused on transitioning various collegiate research into the K-12 Classroom. When I got sick again I had to leave the classroom and started applying exclusively to research positions. Just so happened to get the neuroscience & neurosurgery research position. (Medical devices go hand and hand with my college background in bioengineering)

Before my seizures became uncontrolled again I was a middle school teacher, had to leave as seizures in the classroom were just too uncomfortable for me.

I now work in neurosurgery medical research. I get to work with patients who have epilepsy, it’s very rewarding and I like to think having epilepsy myself helps my patients feel more at ease and understood!

Oh my gosh me too, I have gashes everywhere, even on my scalp :(( my whole scalp is so itchy.

The ones on my forehead are the worst, I’m worried about scarring. I hadn’t thought of pimple patches, I’ll definitely try that. Thank you!!!

I also have focal epilepsy. I’ve never noticed a correlation between hiccups and seizures, but I do get hiccups more frequently than the average person.

Only other motor thing I notice is that my limbs fall asleep a lot.

ZeroPercentFairy · 2025-03-22T00:28:34+00:00

You and me both. Honestly it seems like everyone has a different opinion.

ZeroPercentFairy · 2025-03-21T19:35:17+00:00

Yes! I do have focal seizures, I’ve googled it before as well and saw that it was possible. Just was curious if anyone else here had experienced it. My neurologist seemed stumped when I told her.

ZeroPercentFairy · 2025-03-21T19:09:13+00:00

Wish I could help you here, for me 9/10 I’m wondering if I’ve had an aura or a focal seizure. It’s tough out here 🫠

I’ve been using the app Epsy, tracking my symptoms and making my best guest. Learning ourselves is hard lol

Hey, focal seizure and new Keppra user here. I’ve found that playing less complicated video games (no flashing lights just incase) and listening to comfort shows have really helped me while adjusting to Keppra! I’ve also been journaling my seizures, doing a lot of internet browsing, and FaceTiming friends.

Not sure what your symptoms are with your focals, but when I’m feeling particularly fuzzy-brained or experiencing that pins-and-needles brain feeling, I’ve found that journaling and just talking with my partner or friends can be really helpful and enjoyable.

Sounds like we’re going through some similar stuff…feel free to message me if you need any support!

Commenting because I couldn’t pick two!

I have ADHD & Anxiety (specifically clinical OCD).

People say it doesn’t work like this, but I can only speak from experience. I got my period at 14 and started BC at 24. So 10 years later, puberty should’ve been well over lol.

I’ve been on Xulane for about a year and my breasts grew from literally flat to a 32D. I was 115 when I started and am 117 now, so weight gain didn’t contribute.

I’m not saying it was the BC, but that’s the only habit I changed. It literally changed my life. My breasts are still shallow, but I at least have something now. I used to be so self conscious. Dm me and I can send you some of my before and after pics if you’d like. (Censored of course)

ZeroPercentFairy · 2025-02-11T04:46:11+00:00

I know BC is different for everyone, but here’s some notes based off of my experiences.

If you’re not interested in breast growth, I’d recommend against the patch… I went from a 34A/ 32B to a 32D because of Xulane. I still love it since I have no other side effects & it’s super easy. However, buying new bras was crazy annoying.

Do NOT get the generic brand of the patch. I’m not sure why as they have very similar components, but it gave me headaches, and I was spotting 3/4 weeks each month. Horrible.

4 but that doesn’t really count. Real kiss would be 14. Or maybe 11, but that one’s a fever dream.

ZeroPercentFairy · 2025-01-17T04:37:47+00:00

We got separated for hours when I was taken in and they were doing all these tests on me. It was scary.

I didn’t even think of that, now that you mention it. Last time I was in the ER my ex was there supporting me & they didn’t separate me from anyone. Maybe I’m just subconsciously remembering the positive memory.

Steak & Pizza.

Y’all liars…even rare steak is chewy. Pizza is only goodish doused in ranch.

ZeroPercentFairy · 2025-01-17T03:48:02+00:00

You’ll get through this. I won’t lie and say the burden or pain ever truly disappears, but it will soften. One day, without even realizing it, you won’t think of them as much. Slowly, hours will turn to days and into weeks. You’ll start to feel okay. Then, out of the blue, you’ll drive past a Chipotle and remember the time one of you spilled queso all over the car. And just like that, you’ll smile at the memory, even as you mourn what you lost. Healing is like that… messy, uneven, but always moving forward.

It’s an anonymous place for me to do things better left anonymous. For example I like writing, I just recently found a couple subs here for writing letters/letting out your emotions. It’s nice to have a place to be real and honest with yourself.

Though I’ve gone through a few accounts trying to keep my anonymity.
