It’s 4:30 am I feel like I’m going to have a seizure it’s quite terrifying so I wanted to share what a seizure feels like , I don’t think people understand them , awareness is key . I have partial seizures so I don’t lose contiousness need to learn the spelling of that word but I’m awake through it all . Where a part of my brain is not firing off right and I begin to panic I have no choice and no reason almost like a panic attack or PTSD but worse . My seizures control my nervous system and my emotions do anything goes it’s a circus of high heart rate , sickness , vomit , mass fear , and the sheer belief that I’m going to die as my heart races so high I need to take a beta blocker . This typically last ten to fifteen minutes .
They only happen at night . Due to my epilepsy I can’t drink or take anything that may raise my heart rate . This is serious . My seizures could in fact kill me . I never know when they will come but lack of sleep and stress are triggers . Medicine helps but there is no cure . It’s a lot to go through having them because every time your body literally thinks you are going to die . Nothing can tell me otherwise until it passes . It’s scary and horrific . This is what having epilepsy is like .
