Clearly a WIP, haven’t drawn in ages and I figured I’d head back to the classics LOL
I’m in southeastern pa and this noise has been going on for like 10 minutes, usually I’m pretty good at ID but I’ve got no clue. (There’s some woods in my backyard)
I’m pricing this for work and I have 0 clue if this is actually the insane prices I’ve been seeing (120-145). Any ideas??

So I posted to epilepsy groups before and I have a neurologist but she hasn’t been the most helpful with giving me answers and I didn’t get too many responses on my last post. I just want to know if someone’s heard of similar symptoms or anything remotely similar or have any suggestions? But anyway here’s my post from that group:
I’ve been having neurological issues since 12th grade (year and a half or so) and they’ve gotten worse (in my post history too) to the point where a 2x a year thing is turning into once or twice a month.
It starts out sometimes with me deep breathing only for a little, or sometimes hyperventilating slightly during sex, or sleep deprivation. All those trigger me, adding being on my period for a lot of those incidences it’s been really bizarre and freaky to not know what’s been going on.
I’ll get super terrified out of nowhere (sometimes) and then it feels like there are wasps under my skin EVERYWHERE. I sweat straight through whatever I’m wearing and I’ll be dripping, I go white as a ghost, I almost throw up sometimes, sometimes it’s hard for me to keep my eyes open, I have speech issues (slurring from cotton mouth feeling), my hands and wrists curl inwards and I cannot move or feel them, and my face twitches.
Along with sometimes going a little blind like I do with my migraines, I pretty much remain conscious for these events (but it’s altered obviously) and they don’t last long at all and either resolve on their own or after I take my rescue med my neuro gave me. I haven’t seen anyone have symptoms like mine. but I’m positive this isn’t anxiety or panic related as I’ve had panic attacks and they come on completely differently, that’s what my neurologist wanted me to be referred to, psych.
But after I basically yelled at her for not taking me seriously bc this is scary as fuck, she said she’d put me in the EMU for a time so we can try and trigger the event.
What if it isn’t seizures? I have familial history of epilepsy and have several other contributing factors that raise my suspicion but I’m just so scared they won’t find anything and I’ll have to just live like this forever.
I know I sound paranoid and anxious which raises suspicions for panic attacks but I cannot emphasize enough that these do not behave like panic attacks at all. I know what sudden sense of doom is vs panic and there is a clear difference. I’ve even been banned from driving for 3 months. So I would reallly like some input from outer perspectives if I can get it. Thanks.
EDIT: I’m trying to get an MRI bc my neuro ordered it and insurance keeps denying it so we’re getting there. It’s gonna happen so I’m doing that.
Gang I work at a thrift store and idk if I need to pack this in sand or not 🥀
Hey guys, I’m on my diagnostic journey for neurological events that are suspected to be focal aware seizures but my neuro is stumped and I was wondering if you guys had any similar experiences?
I was in the car with my dad on the way to work and all of a sudden out of nowhere I got blasted with the most intense terror/anxiety I have felt in a long long longggg time. Completely out of nowhere, zero buildup. I couldn’t stop shaking, went white as a sheet, curled up, like my hands were completely locked, never sweat so much so fast in my entire life, couldn’t feel my body because it felt like bees were in my skin. Huge drop in my stomach. Like I completely and totally soaked through my shirt and my face was dripping in sweat. I got so nauseous I started gagging a little, and my vision got fuzzy, it also came out of nowhere. And maybe 2 minutes later, it was gone. I was SO exhausted afterwards, my neurologist is getting me in asap bc I have had 2 of these within the month and that’s unusual for me, and this time there’s no trigger other than a bit more stress and a lack of sleep. But idk if you guys experience similar symptoms, I was conscious, but mentally totally out of it from panic. It would really help to hear from some people who actually know what it’s like to have scary symptoms like this and not know what’s going on. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it ❤️
