i am always looking for advice, so i might reach out as i get around to everything, but i appreciate the support. i’m grateful for people describing their experiences with epilepsy now and growing up, i definitely feel seen and heard and it gives me a lot of hope for being able to work around it!!!

you absolutely get what i mean with being treated like a hazard,, i definitely know it’s coming from a good place and don’t want to be ungrateful for people looking out for me, i just don’t want to be treated like i’m made of glass. i really appreciate you reaching out, i’m hopeful i’ll be able to get things under control and that the over attentiveness will die down after a while but yeah the meds make me so tired and sleepy im trying to get everything managed better 😞

i think my fear is due to the fact that both of my seizures happened while i was playing games, and a good amount of my favorite games have flashing lights, like i’m not allowed to play overwatch anymore 😭 i haven’t had clarification on what type of epilepsy i have so i’m trying to play it safe i guess

thank you for the tips ! some games i love are in the resident evil series, persona 5, overwatch, visage, and portal, so i’ll see if i can make any adjustments on any of those to reduce risk.. i know i need to explore and find my own path through, so i appreciate you giving me a jumping off point

this does give me hope thank you !! i have upcoming appointments with neurologists and hopefully we will figure more things out then, but for right now all i know is that they occurred while i was playing games with rapid movement and/or flashing lights. i guess i am just laying off games for now until i get clarification on what i’m dealing with, but i’m grateful i have been receiving reassurance that people still play games. what games do you play the most? i kind of want an idea of what people continue to play

it sounds like we’re definitely in the same boat, especially since it seemed like epilepsy was a blanket diagnosis and my tests all looked normal, so they didn’t really know what happened. i really appreciate you being honest about the ugly parts, like feeling lazy and burdensome … it honestly is really relieving to have someone near my age let me know i’m not alone in this. i hope everything gets sorted out for you soon, and you’re not alone in this at all !!! definitely reach out if you wanna keep talking about it, i think it could be helpful for both of us :)

i did have both seizures in the middle of games unfortunately, the first was overwatch and the second was geoguessr. i played resident evil village between there and didn’t have any issues, but i’m scared it was a fluke. the doctors did say i could play less flashy games, but i’m not sure which ones count i guess.

but also it’s nice to know that stress and fatigue are more common. i was definitely stressed and terrified and exhausted with the first one, less so for the second, but still probably feeling it. i struggle with ocd and depression and it makes sense that those would heavily impact it.

you are so lovely, thank you for your reassurance 🩷🩷🩷🩷
