I love this video
I love this guy for being able to put it online too

this still reverberates in me and I think we all may know this feeling

you might have even seen the video before

for me it's like being a baby teleported into a world of aliens where fear is the only thing keeping me barely awake - but feeling like I absolutely have to stay awake or else "the thing" will happen to me again

getting the questions like that (what day, etc.) I have felt like I needed to prove something to show that I don't deserve whatever happened to me to get to that state I don't understand - brain paralysis where I can feel my actual self trying to convey, but it's like trying to run using phantom limbs, and at some point too it's just the terror of helplessness

I think this video captures it well
the guy's face reminds me of my 2 year old nephew's too

when I've had seizures during the day it has taken me quite a while to actually figure out that I have - I always have had a hard time believing the "do you know what day it is?" people who tell me I've had a seizure and I feel more prone to a "silly me I must have fallen, I need to get back up - these people need to stop making me the center of attention - how embarrassing, humiliating" ...but they urge me (and I'd better do what they tell me or they'll do *this* to me again!) to stay calm, lay there, get in the gurney, or whatever - I need to start believing my medical alert bracelet


but anyway this video really struck a chord with me
apparently this man passed away Jan. 2012
my prayers go out to this man's spirit and his family
