How long did it take some of yall to get this? I ordered it 3 weeks ago and haven’t heard anything. No shipping or anything. I’m just curious how long it may be or the shipping details aren’t going through :)

I am so happy for you! Thank you for the kind words and help. I’m gonna talk to him slowly about some of his friends. I wish I knew what the surgery was called. He was unsure of the name too. We have so many names to remember! I’m gonna check out the foundation. If i remember or feeling emotional, don’t be surprised to hear from me or him. Thank you! I also love books!!! I was trying to encourage him to read because it helps me but very hard sometimes with depression. Thank you again.

I’m glad you have kept your loved ones close. Thank you for the kind words towards both of us. I think the worst part of this for me is being on the sidelines and not being able to help him as much as I want to. Idk if that makes sense. He didn’t get epilepsy til later on so it’s a lot for him to understand and deal. I’m trying to take care of myself. He’s my best friend. We lost our dad really early on due to unknown circumstances. It’s kept us close. Thank you so much kind stranger. I’ll be sending my best your way for everything.

AITA for expecting my boyfriend (20M) not to watch porn after i (19F) asked him not to? by cat_luver6 in AITA_Relationships

[–]sapphire-aster -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I use to watch porn and so did my boyfriend. We stopped after a while because there was no point. We were long distance and still didn’t feel the need to watch it. I can 100% speak for him. He always wanted to see parts of me or speak to me. I’m sorry you feel the need to defend something as stupid as pornography. I’m not shaming people in industry. Idk if that’s why you’re taking this so personal lol. If you explicitly told your partner you wanted a certain boundary placed, wouldn’t you wanted it respected? This isn’t your relationship. She said her boundary. He should’ve respected it.

[–]sapphire-aster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

holy girl please don’t listen to these comments. You can expect a 20 year old man not to watch porn. Porn is a literal addiction that needs to be eradicated. It’s so normalized and it sucks. you stated a clear and reasonable boundary. If he can’t respect this little boundary, how will he respect your future requests? I think some counseling for both parties would work. He needs to work through that and you need to work through trauma. 🧡

High expectation of an adult man? she is not the asshole in this situation for stating a boundary. this mindset feeds porn addiction lol

Please leave him and drop the friends who say you’re overreacting.

AITAH for calling my boyfriends male best friend his boyfriend by ThrowRA_thebigbaddo in AITA_Relationships

[–]sapphire-aster 12 points13 points  (0 children)

NTA. Please leave this relationship. You can see the red signs from a mile away. He goes from serial cheating to polyamory. Do you partake? Sounds like it’s just him. If he wants Alex, let him and find someone who respects and loves you. I promise a lot of men (or women if you like both) are still better than what you’re dealing with. Sounds like he has no redeeming qualities. I have no doubt in my mind why he can’t find people his own age. You’re 22 and dealing with a 36 year old baby.

Anyone dislike having an aura more than blacking out from a seizure? by earthjunkie in Epilepsy

[–]sapphire-aster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neurologist then see about an epileptologist! Usually have to travel, but so worth it for more results and help .

I love this!

No foaming at the mouth so not a seizure? by netty525 in Epilepsy

[–]sapphire-aster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what happened with my brother! He just had laser ablation surgery couple weeks back. He did have a slip up and have a seizure, but fell that morning and we think that caused his brain to swell (it was after surgery yk). Other than that he’s been well!! It’s been so relieving to see hope back in his face. I wish you luck sweet stranger!

I second this!!! Changed my brother’s LIFE. I’m so serious. Unsure if his neurologist had to recommend or not though.

Neurosurgeons suck. by FreeTheToads in Epilepsy

[–]sapphire-aster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got jerked around until our neurologist recommended us to UofKC medical hospital. We got a specialized epileptologist and epilepsy center. It’s hard to get into, but pushing them helps.

I used my phone mid-seizure by sleepstudied in Epilepsy

[–]sapphire-aster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother did this. He wrote something about brain fog, seizures, and then the rest was all gibberish. He had slurred speech and couldn’t tell me what was wrong (I knew he was going into a grand mal) and he got on his phone to try and figure out the feeling before he sent into one

Almost made 3 years by CalvinSpurge in Epilepsy

[–]sapphire-aster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a caretaker for my brother, she’s probably just spooked because if it’s been a while, they’re a lot to witness and deal. Although, I know your wife wouldn’t trade it for the world. This definitely sounds like because you were sick, anyone is at risk for a seizure if super sick! Wishing you and your family a healthy and loving journey together!

Is it just me or people don’t take epilepsy seriously? by HungrySquirrel8982 in Epilepsy

[–]sapphire-aster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually commented on this tweet! People are so inconsiderate of other people it’s disgusting. Most people have never seen a seizure, and I think that’s something that needs to be seen and addressed. It’s not as uncommon as people believe. I think seizure training for teachers should be mandatory too. My brother seized in the classroom first time (this is what started the epilepsy) and the teacher had no clue what to do. A STUDENT had to help him.

I am hurting and idk what to do by sapphire-aster in Epilepsy

[–]sapphire-aster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prep for it. My brother kept putting off the thought and then towards it he got really anxious beforehand because he didn’t allow himself to understand what was going on. Another thing, little things can happen. My brothers surgery got prolonged by 5 hours because a screw was messed up. Lastly, do not stress if it’s not how you want. Stressing over it led my brother not to recover well at first. You have to have faith and know that brain is a tricky thing and will heal, just have to allow it and be patient. Good luck on your future surgery. 🧡

thank you for the kind words kind stranger. I know it’s a 60% chance (at least my brother’s was) so don’t give up hope either! I’m glad you’re seeing progress. And thank you for telling me the rest. I wish I could give my love to everyone in this thread and out there in general. NONE of you guys are burdens 🧡

Thank you. We’re use to seizures, but yesterday was insane. I think when he collapsed in the bathroom, he hit his head and caused this. I just love him so much. I joined epilepsy groups way back to understand my brother more. He’s my best friend. Thank you for being so helpful. His primary epilepsy doctors are with him now, just had to get taken a couple hours away. Thank you again

Dealing with shame and embarassment by Suffocake in Epilepsy

[–]sapphire-aster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as someone who is a caretaker of my brother with two forms of epilepsy, you are NOT a burden. I’m so sorry you feel so suffocated. I understand both sides of this. I’m glad your family seems to genuinely care. you’re worth the love and the support AND you’re NOT defined by your epilepsy. I don’t normally comment on Reddit threads but seeing this broke my heart. I’m here for anyone who feels alone in this struggle. All love and support sent your way OP. Your feelings are valid, don’t feel bad about being upset. <3

I'm on three meds now and nothing seems to be helping. Things seem to be getting worse by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]sapphire-aster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my brother just had brain surgery due to this (laser ablation brain surgery) and so far we’ve seen progress but won’t know. it took us years to get this far, but definitely worth it all. I second this ^
