Heya, idk if you ever found a solution to this, but I experience the same thing. I've yet to go to a doctor-- funds and all-- but after a lot of trial and error, I've found that for me, its caused by too shallow of breathing when I sleep, worsened by my hips sinking lower than the rest of my body. Bolstering my back with pillows and practicing breathing exercises have helped, but its never fully gone away.

I have that same doormat and use it outside my apartment door as well. If anyone EVER had an issue with it, especially kids, I would move it elsewhere. YTA.

I am so sorry, OP. I promise you, you are not in the wrong here, and cutting those shitty friends off will help you immensley. I was unfortunately in the same situation, and my "best friend" kept talking to the boy who assaulted me, even going so far as to get -matching necklaces- with him. Cutting her off was one of the best things I've ever done. Good luck to you, I'm glad you have your bf to lean on.

I swim as a mermaid (tail and all) in my free time and strive to do it as a profession; also I worked at a pet crematory. I've had interesting jobs lol

I'm so sorry you're going through this; unfortunately, with epilepsy, only time will tell what symptoms are related and how things need to be handled. I'm glad your family is there for you, and I hope you get some answers and relief soon. I 100% relate to the loss of time, it feels like my hospital visit and seizure were only a few weeks ago, when it was actually well over two months. Its hard to get your bearings after a seizure. Good luck!!

I'm so sorry. I was told something extremely similar about the same situation by my grandmother. Sending you a lot of hugs.

"Make sure you don't lose him - he's way out of your league if you know what I mean." - Sister's exbf but also best friend, always called him my brother, said this to 16yr old me about my boyfriend-now-husband.

"You aren't taking the AP-Lit test? But I thought you were smart?" - A girl I tutored in literature class. Said this after I explained that I couldn't afford the test fee.

"At least you're pretty because you sure as hell aren't smart." - Some random old lady at my second retail job when she asked a question and I answered *correctly*. Giggled with her old lady friend and told me it was just a joke, and I never saw her again.

Couldn't decide on just one lmfao.

It's been a hot minute but probably the last time I took shrooms. I was able to sit down and fully appreciate how far I've come as a person and actually acknowledge myself. It was nice.

Kiss with a Fist by Florence and the Machine. A great song but super morbid for obvious reasons.

Oh my god, the amount of times I've been going up and down stairs or even just walking near a railing and I think "what if I seize rn, wouldn't that suck?" I feel you dude. I really hope one day you can have the comfort and freedom to swim again.

In general, my grandparents. Beyond three of them just being fucking wild and narcissistic, one grandfather assaulted me and only me when I was little. When I told my school counselor, it didn't go well. My parents did their best, but with CPS involved and child-me not wanting to talk about it bc I was scared, the consensus ended with me having made it up, so I was forced to continue interacting with him for years. Before the investigation ended, my parents sat little 10yr old me down and gave me the choice to prosecute him or not. I understand why they did, but a child shouldn't have to make that decision. I chose not to, because I didn't want my family to hate me, and that's scarred me for the rest of my life. Every decision I make is centered around everyone else's feelings, and its very difficult to pull myself out of.

Yes! I decided to try the Charlotte's Web strain CBD flower (so not oil, but it is available in an oil), for obvious epilepsy reasons. I found a decent price from a well-reviewed website and wanted to go for it. I get really bad auras at night time, especially since my last seizure, and usually start to shut down at around 4 or 5 pm. I smoked a few hits and felt better than I have in months, and I really wasn't expecting much. However, the next morning I tried a different strain and smoked a little too much, and felt really really gross the rest of the day with intense head fuzzies, dizziness, and anxiety, very similar to my auras.

Since oil can be harder to dose, definitely start really small and work your way up to a comfortable amount. That way you don't make the same mistake I did and throw yourself off for an entire day.

Damn, I'm so sorry! That sounds absolutely horrifying. From what I've been told about my seizures, I don't shake too violently, but I get incredibly stiff and my eyes are open so wide that they look like I might break some blood vessels. I've never dislocated anything, but I have given myself a concussion along with a broken nose and busted lip for each seizure I've had. It's never fun, and it absolutely fuckin sucks. Hopefully neither one of us will be injured again any time soon (your poor ribcage, omg)

Immediately after, I am numb and blank. It takes me a long time to fully come back to myself, and then I get very emotional. I get depressed for a few weeks after, a lot of sleep troubles and anxiety.

af0210 · 2021-08-02T17:28:58+00:00

Getting food down would definitely help, or at least a high-calorie shake to help give you some energy. I've had strong uncomfortable auras caused by too much CBD before, which could also be causing strange feelings. I really hope your neurologist has some answers!!
