Exclamation going banana's


i'm slowly going banana's
i get stressed out and i have a seizure. my meds aren't working properly anyway (i'm having a video'd EEG in a few weeks)
here's a nice shocker for you all as well....last week. i had a day of seizures (the usual run after i've been majorly stressed) and i had a fit at the dining table. coz my seizures are complex partial i dont have the shake rattle and roll. i just do a repetitive motion. usuall wiping my mouth of tucking my hair behind my left ear....oh back to the seizure...i had the seizure and went to tuck my hair behind my ear (when i have a big one i have no idea or recollection of what i'm doing) but i still had the fork in my hand. mum freaked out and grabbed it just in time. yeah i'm still whole. eye still intact but stilll dad wanted to....molly-coddle me. he's the one who wants to hug...n bug me

Hi there, Tralee!

Wow, I'm sorry you're not having such a swift time of it! It's a good thing your mom grabbed the fork in time so you didn't poke your eye out! I know it's annoying that your dad wants to molly-coddle you, as you call it, but it's hard on them too, as parents. They want to protect you from everything...It's part of their job, you understand. I can feel their pain as a parent...I know I would do the same thing.

As an ep patient myself....I have the BEAUTIFUL tonic clonics...I do understand how YOU feel too. It sucks that you're diabetic on top of the ep. What have you tried to do to reduce your stress? It doesn't have to difficult...something as simple as a couple of scented candles and a relaxation cd or even yoga.

Nice to meet ya, and welcome to CWE!!!!

Tralee - Being a parent of a 16 yr old daughter... believe me, it is rather difficult to know what to do in any given situation. If I look worried that is wrong, if I take a laid back attitude that is wrong too. Can't hug, or play nurse, as that is irritating.
It is a no win situation, so we do the best we can, in the moment.

Does a silly chimp impression and eats the bannanas cause she's hungry.
hehe

Can totally relate I live with a crazy person with dementia and had an EEG in March yet I had a hard time determining which was worse. Then had an MRI which is like being nailed inside a drum with a person high on PCP banging on it. Then I found out my brain was shrinking it must be the therapy. I almost asked the doc if I kept drinking then did he think I could understand the average male's behavior? But he was a guy so I figured it wasn't a good idea.

Just be glad you don't live with a crazy aggressive 92 year old woman with demetia who ruined your life two years ago and is trying to break your spirit every chance she gets so I just ignore her entirely since I quite frankly do not care what happens to her after she wrecked my life because she could almost got me fired ruined my future and made my life a nightmare for two years and it turns out I'm stuck here until she dies and I look forward to spitting on her head stone and actually treat mer like she's already dead. My parents think I should have some respect for her and I tell them the most they can expect is that I won't murder her in her bed because I had enough from her or beat her senseless if she gives me any more junk. I'm taken to much junk off people and I'm just tired of it.

Rain Cloud going going gone!!


Hi all,
Thanks for your support and all that *big hugz all 'round*
am officially bananas now. not quite yellow but brain is scrambled.
new motto for the moment when craziness strikes is "who needs a brain when insanity is moer fun"
there are times i just be silly with a few friends on MSN just to break the ho-hum of life in a small town. at the moment the net seems to be my life line. there is only so much i can do down the shops and in my room. its kinda complicated when i want to be alone but then its lonely but i dont want company. not sure how to figure that one out.
(any time you make something absolutely clear someone will be confused...but with that last bit i don't blame you).
any suggestions of chill out methods i can do? (keep in mind fund$ aren't the best and there isnt many places to go here in this tiny town...and i dont get much privacy at home . it doesnt help that my lap top just died...or seomthing close to it
i know my paino is a good chill out tool but there is only so many songs i can play
thanks for letting me rant. i'm not sure its all out but oh well
