Luckily it wasn't a bad one, pretty much just blacked out for a few minutes, so I'm feeling ok.
When I came out of it, which I didn't even know I had it, I was sitting on the couch. My husband said I was searching around on Google. I still had the windows open for this site so I didn't know if I was maybe copying and pasting links or who knows what? I don't even know what I was looking at on Google.
I do some pretty goofy stuff during seizures. I'm not the only one am I.....

LOL!!!! :roflmao:
It was probably Google-Stress that caused it. I get frustrated with search engines sometimes. You get on looking for one thing but get 1,000 different answers and none of them are what you are looking for.

No need to worry; it happens to the best of us. I'm gonna look at some of the text messages I sent in my postictal state, thank god for predictive text or there wouldn't be any message at all...
"Hello there is ill. Text message." LOL!
Sometimes when chatting to an online friend and I have a focal, I can't reply because I can't comprehend what is being said. It makes me feel so rude and disappointed in myself, but I can't help it. However, my best online friend who I've been talking to for a couple of years now knows all about my epilepsy.
Unfortunately I felt so bad after having a seizure in a phone call with her I told her that we needed a break, and that it was nothing personal. Others thought it was an unfair move on my part, but nobody understands how it is. I made some kind of noise when I had the seizure.
I know it isn't fair to her, but it makes me feel like s**t. She's been encouraging me to become an online English teacher as she's from China and has learnt a lot from me. After that experience I don't think I could do it. I ought to resume my computer programming work as self-employment is my only option.
I've trailed off the topic again. Oh, buggery. :dontknow:

I was just hoping that I didn't call someone by a really bad name or something like that.
Who knows, during that seizure I may have become really smart and had answered everyone's questions better than a dr would have? If I did let me know and I'll try to do it more often.
