Couldnt explain it any better you guys are the first people that made me feel like someone understood me for once, my entire life i was searching for this type of a community thank you so much.
Relate here😢 I'm epileptic person, when my seizure attacks me I fight back so that I wouldn't be blank out or stare into space, the other people had epilepsy/seizure stay positive move forward and fight back 😊 be strong person God is always by your side
i was diagnosed with epilepsy a few years ago, and i am grateful every day i wasnt impacted as much as others. meds for me worked first try and ive been off them for a while now. if you are reading this and you are struggling with epilepsy i wish you the best, seizures suck.
love the video... however, that the sound at the beginning is triggering enough... please put a trigger warning at the start of the video please... as an epileptic person i must say it did hurt a bit.. but still, keep up the work :)
Agreed😢
Agree, the trigger warning should be in the tittle. I have epilepsy videos that have triggers. Like we already suffer enough.
Very accurate. I was diagnosed with tonic-clonic epilepsy when I was 16 and had seizures every 3-6 months. I couldn't attend drivers ed, be alone, or work in the airline business (my dream job). For a year I had to carry this huge tranq syringe with me everywhere I went. I knew others had it worse than me but it was pretty disheartening to know that I would potentially have something wrong with me for the rest of my life. When I was 17, my neurologist put me on Lamictal and I've managed to get my life back for the most part since then. I attended college, got a job, and traveled abroad a few times. I got my drivers license at 27, which is a milestone and an accomplishment for many people with epilepsy. Life still has its challenges and limits, and at times I wish I could live like many people, without relying on medication or avoiding anything that triggers a seizure.
This is exactly how it feels
sorry about the job that one hit hard I've learned to never tell a boss you have epilepsy
Sorry to hear this. I've been there when the DDA95 first came out and had a part time job at university. I was advised to be upfront about having epilepsy on my application. It made challenging disability discrimination straightforward as they couldn't deny knowing about it.
Me too. I had a voluntary job I loved, told the boss I have epilepsy well I was happy there for a number of years then my neurologist at the time decided taking me off my epilepsy was a good idea, I kept the boss informed then after about 18 months bang I had a seizure at home, my social care worker at the time went blabbing to the boss and next thing he phones me and says basically well you’ve had a seizure don’t bother coming to volunteer.
@@danielledewitt1 so sorry to hear this. Onwards and upwards.
@@AvrilCoelho That was a good number of years back.
@Dac Charles It’s not my fault at all. I told him I have epilepsy, it was the first thing I told him.
Watching this video made me cry. I can relate to this because I have epilepsy. What hurts the most is when a family member told me "Oh she's just faking her seizures to get attention." 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 I can't control my seizures they can happen at any time. Epilepsy is not a disease, it's not contagious. It's a neurological disorder. Anyone can get epilepsy at any age. I've had it since age 2. I was finally diagnosed with Epilepsy at 37 in 2021. My journey hasn't been easy but I will never stop fighting until I am seizure free. For anyone who sees this, you're strong, amazing, you matter, never give up, you're loved. 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Mood swings are something no one at home or work can understand, as I go from quiet to going full rage. I've broken many thing and have had broken bones from it
So relatable💔
Totally relate to this
Triggering like hell but a damn good video
Powerful ❤❤
I’ve never related to anything so much.
Same here I have juvenile absence seizure. I have tonic clonic seizures and absences
It is a f%#@%^@ living hell and I can barely take it!!

My greetings to all my friends, friends few days ago I accidentally ate some rotten or bad walnuts, about three hours after eating I fainted, I fainted in about forty to fifty minutes, my mouth kept foaming and my tongue was also injured. hai when i regained consciousness a bit i will start vomiting violently is it due to bad walnuts or is it a symptom of epilepsy waiting for an answer
Hi Ameer
I’m sorry to hear you went through this. It sounds like a horrible experience. We aren’t able to suggest if this experience was due to an epileptic seizure or something else. It would be a good idea to ask a medical professional for support and advice
Kind Regards
