I miss life before I was diagnosed with epilepsy 🥺

I was diagnosed with epilepsy 2 and a half years ago. I had a frontal lobe brain tumor and had my first tonic clonic seizure. I had my tumor removed and thought it would stop the seizures but no. For a while my seizures were controlled for the most part. I would have a seizure maybe every 3 months. But within the past year, I’ve been having 2 seizures a month. I’m on 1500 mg of Keppra & 200 mg of vimpat.

I have a lot of tonic clonic seizures during sleep. I will wake up confused on my floor after rolling off my bed. My last seizure my seizure heard me fall out of bed and rolled me on my side on the floor. I miss being able to sleep without being afraid if I’m going to wake up from a seizure. I miss not having to worry about skipping medication. I miss my parents and siblings not having to worry about me constantly. I miss driving without worrying I might have a seizure. I miss not worrying about if I’m going to have a seizure at the gym, work, or out in public.

I know things can be worse. But I truly miss life before all of this.

I have only ever had tonic clonic seizures

I’m never taken seriously because of my bipolar and I’m tired of being called crazy

I’ve been called crazy my entire life. Men never take me seriously because of my bipolar. I don’t even tell people that I have it, and they figure it out anyways. Just had a guy I was talking to tell me that I belong in a straight jacket and need a lobotomy. I’m so tired of hearing things like this and it’s not the first time.

A lot of times I can brush it off, but now that I’m almost 28, I want a serious relationship especially because my siblings are in relationships but, I’m having trouble keeping one.

I need advice and support right now. 🙁

My baby was very brave during the fireworks tonight. 🎆

He was barking at them and protecting me. He wasn’t scared at all which is surprising because he can be a little timid at times

He is part pug too

Do people with epilepsy die young?

Got diagnosed with epilepsy 2 years ago. Had my first seizure 2 years ago.

Got into an argument with someone and he said “you won’t make it to 40” since I have seizures. Is this true?

How long do you stay home from work after a grand mal seizure?

I had one at 1 am last night and my whole back is bruised and I bit my tongue. I called out today and part of me wants to call out tomorrow too because my body is sore and my head is killing :( but idk if I’m being dramatic

I love Zoloft <3

Just a random appreciation post for Zoloft. I’ve never felt better in my life! I feel like my old self, before I let the world change me and cause anxiety. I used to not be able to go to job interviews. I’d be so anxious I wouldn’t even walk inside. Or I’d be so anxious I would sit outside of work and could not bring myself to go in. Now it’s so much easier for me to work, and complete tasks without so much anxiety. I still get anxiety but it’s a normal amount.

Only side effects are weight gain (which I’m trying to lose), sweating extra, and low libido at first. But I’ve been on it for a year and a half and my libido came back now that I’m used to it.

- I’m on 100 mg btw.

Why is my ex from 10 years ago trying to follow me on instagram even though I had a restraining order against him and he has a gf and a child?

I dated a guy when I was 15. He was 18. He threatened to kill me and I called the police on him and had a 5 year restraining order. As soon as it was done he tried adding me on fb and i blocked him. He has tried reaching out multiple times even though he has a gf and a child. Yesterday he requested to follow me on Instagram and his profile picture has his gf & kid in it.

I blocked him. But why 10 years later is he still trying to follow me?

The feeling you get when you finally take away access to a guy who’s been playing with you >

Had a guy that would text me and act lovey and then when we were going to hang out he would randomly ghost or disappear. After like 2-3 times of this guy doing this I finally completely ignored his text when he texted me at 10 pm. I know it sounds stupid but I would always respond and ask why he’s texting me but this time I completely ignored :,)

Strong eye contact and smirking at each other after cutting communication with someone?

Had a little thing with a guy. We got into a messy fight and I basically told him to “leave me the f alone” and blocked him on everything. I stopped making eye contact and even looking in his direction but I could always feel him staring at me. And I knew he was continuing to talk about me to people because people would tell me.

The anger has gone away and yesterday I decided to look back at him for once and we just made intense eye contact and we’re both smirking at each other. I felt butterflies and it felt like whatever we had was not over.

What does it mean when a guy smirks at you and holds eye contact after not speaking for a while?

Had a thing with a guy at work and things ended messy. I was angry at him and didn’t even look in his direction for about a month. We both did things to hurt each other. I always feel him looking at me.

I’m not angry anymore. I decided to look at him back and we made eye contact and started smirking at each other. We both did say anything but we held eye contact and kept smirking until I looked away.

How fast did your asthma symptoms improve after quitting smoking?

I’m an idiot and am an on and off smoker. Once my asthma improves from quitting smoking, I start right up again.

I’m on dupixent and it has helped with asthma attacks although I still have symptoms of wheezing and coughing after exercise but all normal asthma symptoms.

Curious how fast your asthma improved since quitting smoking?? :)

I have decided that this chapter of my life must be about being alone and discovering myself

A year ago, my ex fiancé and I broke up. It was terrible. I was very depressed for the longest time. right now I feel better about him and I was dating and going on a lot of dates and trying to find someone else. after many dates and online dating and getting ghosted I’ve decided to just stop looking and let it come to me. I keep getting ghosted and it’s not a great feeling, so I think I should just stick to myself and focus on me and date myself.

I gave him a second chance just for him to ghost me again… feeling sad.

I was talking to a guy from a dating app. We made multiple plans to hang out and he canceled on me like twice. He lives about an hour away from me. I finally told him I’m done and when he tried to make excuses I just didn’t answer. A month later he texted me and I was forgiving (two days ago). Once again he’s back to his old ways after promising me we would meet this weekend. I feel so stupid and sad that I gave him another chance.

Before this I had a similar situation with a guy except he was the one who told me he doesn’t want to talk so I said fine. He messaged me and I gave HIM another chance just for him to do me dirty AGAIN. (A few days ago)

I also met a guy from an app and we went on a date. He texted me after the date and the day after… then he didn’t open my message and now silence.

I was basically ghosted 3 times this week. 2 of them I never met and the third I did meet.

I also got drunk and ubered an hour away to a guy that I used to date house. Spent like $150 each way… $300 all together.

On top of it I missed my sisters graduation where she graduated from nurse practitioner school and my family is a bit annoyed at me.
