...if you feel out of the loop most of the time.

...if you've ever leaned in to kiss your hubby and bit his tongue instead.

...if you've had your arms poked so many times, you can't even feel the needle go in anymore.
 
If someone's rings you to tell you it's time to pick the kids up...which confuses you....so while you are trying to piece things together you ring the "school" contact in your phonebook and ask if you have kids? And if so do they need picking up?

Ahhhhhhh. I'm never going to live this down....:rolleyes:

When you realize you've been reading the same page of a book for about 10 times and still don't know what is going on in it
 
Or the same book for the 5th time and you still don't know how it end :)

Oh so very true. When I got round to reading the second in a set of Sylvia day books I had to go back and read the last 3 chapters of the end one again to find out what happened

Alright so completly not thread related but is she a good read? I was a little disappointed by E.L. James after all the hype I expected MORE!
 
Much better written in my opinion. Read bared to you and reflected in you now. Recommending them to everyone who's read 50 shades

You throw your head down on the kitchen table out of frustration after a crappy day and it is automatically met with

"Victoria?!"
"WHAT"
"Oh...I thought you were having a.."
"NO! LEAVE ME ALONE"

ok maybe I shouldn't have snapped at my brother but I was annoyed and frustrated.


When you text your mom that you are going out to lunch with a friend and the first thing she needs to know is "this friend knows how to handle an episode right?" not even a name. or where we were going. just that i wasn't on campus anymore and so and so knew how to handle a seizure elsewhere :roflmao:

Oh gosh, that reminds me of the time I tripped and fell in the Walmart parking lot and broke my elbow out of sheer clumsiness. I was with my sister, and she freaked out thinking I was having a seizure. Umm.. nope! Just a klutz! :roflmao:
 
You know you have epilepsy when your 6 year old daughter's "Monday News" announcement at school is first aid awareness for epileptics and what happens when they have a seizure because you had a seizure at her birthday party the Saturday before in front of 10 of her friends and their parents.
 
yeah, i cant sit somewhere quietly being agravated, it means i am having a seizure
 
...you walk into a room, forget why you're there and get a puzzled look on your face, and your husband says, "Honey? Are you okay?"
 
when you color code what step of the math problem you're doing so you don't forget and you're only in developmental math :roflmao: I can't imagine how doomed i am when I get to "real" math
 
When you are daydreaming and someone slaps you round the face thinking you are having an absence seizure.....
It stung!!!!!!

I hate that lmao. I sometimes wonder how many times in a row someone slapped me "before it worked"
 
Hahaha. I know right. Hand prints on the face are not a good look

WTF, why would you slap someone who you think is having a seizure?? O.O (Am I missing something?)

Hubby always just has pretend conversations with me when I am having a CP. He tells me about them later, it's kinda funny. XD
