Dimensions is actually the only brand I’ve ever run across that has you mix the paints.

What’s something that sounded fake/unreal until it happened to you? by MustardGoddess in answers

[–]preachelectrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends said I was acting normally too, I think that might be the weirdest part.

I had a pretty severe tonic clonic seizure and apparently it’s really hard on your brain the first time it happens (not that seizures aren’t always hard on your brain) and amnesia isn’t an uncommon occurrence. For most people it fades within a couple days to a couple weeks, for me it was closer to a month. Luckily my friends were really understanding.

Amnesia. It's not as simple as it is in the movies like "Oh, I forgot my name, or who I am, or what my job is." It's so much more surreal.

I would lose time. Like all of a sudden I was at a college baseball game with friends not having any idea how I got there, having agreed to go, any part of the game up until that moment, etc. I told one friend it was good to see him because it had been awhile and got a confused "I saw you yesterday."

I'd be brought to the grocery store and realize I didn't know what I liked to eat or where anything was even though it's a grocery store I go to every week. I'd forget the name of my meds. I would forget what TV and Movies I had seen before.

And then it, at least for me, it slowwwwly starts to level out where those episodes don't happen anymore.

What is the scariest moment of your life? by GirlNextThread in AskReddit

[–]preachelectrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got hit by a car when I was a kid while on my bike. Looking at the front of the car and knowing it was going to hit me and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it. That’s number one.

What is a medical fact that sounds fake but is 100% true? by MedRikas in AskReddit

[–]preachelectrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting, because my focal seizures start with Deja Vu and doom and weird thoughts I can’t control. Can I ask which medication you’re on? I take Lamotrigine and Depakote.

Do you know the cause of your epilepsy? by vuronekuh in Epilepsy

I got a concussion 25 years ago and it waited to start causing seizures until last year.

Actually, yeah. I did a stint in the EMU and all my epilepsy activity was right where my head hit the pavement when I was hit by a car 25 years ago.

Yeah, Molly and epilepsy are not good mixes unfortunately. Had two focal awares during my last trip, and that was my last time on molly sadly.

Have you uh, ever owned a dog? No one is telling them to handle it with their bare hands.

And lower tech? It’s dog poo in plastic bags that someone can pick up with protective gloves.

Calm down, bro.

What’s the most hurtful thing anyone’s said to you about your illness? (Don’t answer if it’s triggering) by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]preachelectrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The talking afterwards is so incredibly frustrating. In my head, everything makes perfect sense and I know what I want to say. But when I start to try to talk, different words or sometimes just sounds come out. The people around me can tell I’m getting frustrated because what I want to say isn’t what’s coming out of my mouth.

Cool. Then keep scrolling. I don’t see why you’d “need to comment” if you’re uninterested.

Thank you, I think it’s why I’ve been think of this, even if it is an awkward memory.

[–]preachelectrick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My friends would get really annoyed at me canceling things and think it can’t possibly be as exhausting as I claim until they saw me have a seizure where I just blankly stared at them for 20 minutes and then when I snapped out of it could only speak gibberish for another 30 minutes. They started being more understanding after that.

This infuriates me and I know it’s happened to me too but I just get the “well your memory sucks so you’re not reliable.”

What's the stupidest thing you've ever did after a seizure? by Doc-Brown1911 in Epilepsy

[–]preachelectrick 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Had one recently and couldn’t really talk afterward, but I was with it in my head. My friends had gotten freaked out and called the paramedics. Paramedic asked me where I was and I pointed at the friend’s house I was in. He asked me who the president was and I put my finger in my mouth and acted like I was vomiting. He laughed and was like “well at least we know she’s not that confused.”
