Earthquakes

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 .

New Day

 Things were rough the past 6 months , but the light is at the end of the tunnel. There was a specific person in my life who was tearing me down aggressively . I can take it that’s not my point , I was just tired and it put me mentally in a bad place . I felt like I was going into battle every day alone . But I wasn’t alone , God watched over me . Thankfully things are better !  I’ve just been praying for God to send me a husband. God has removed all the wrongs - where is the right ? I realized it’s seasons we must learn from. Also letting go of people who held your heart . How could I be free for someone new if I still loved the old … which was serving me nothing .  I really would love to start a business even if it’s on the side , I have some great ideas I just need time . Im meant for more I know it ! It’s just been a learning process  I have faith that God will bring him soon . I’ve been through so much all by myself . Single since 2019 !  I’m going to sleep...

What if I “ Can’t “

 As a single mom I can’t afford to call out sick or to put myself first . I spend 12 hour days at work trying to hustle every day to pay rent to pay bills . It’s a constant struggle.  When your alone there is no emotional support it’s just me and the harsh world praying to the Lord above to save us every month .  Although I’m a pretty bad ass person who works hard has epilepsy and can be in a hospital all night and still show up for work I’m beginning to feel burn out from life.  I need a break , I feel like I can’t do it any more . I’ve given up every single thing that matters for my job so I can pay the  bills . Is it worth it ? No . Do I have any other choice ? No .  My chances of winning the lottery are slim . So how do I make it better ? How do I fit in the gym where I used to go 3 times a day but now I’m to tired and I need to see my daughter on my spare time . How do I have time to write or to even go to church .  What about a relationship ?!!!...
