Salt Lake City, UT

My family has told me, after I experience an episode, I talk as if I was a five year old. I use simple words, and talk in short sentences. They also tell me I sound as if I am trying to please everyone. Has anyone gone through something like this?

D@ Maybe the time soon after as adjusting back to normal, but most of my peers have learned to leave Me alone until I start communicating back with them. I'll usually take more Medication which of course takes time to kick in and for Me that is about 10-15 minutes. I'll also use food as something to fit back into my normal routine. AS food I mean a piece of Dark Chocolate, Juice, an Energy drink or something like the outside for some Fresh Air. Just about anything to change my surroundings to activate my mind's thinking about something different. (than having a SEIZURE.

I have talked to people that say they change clothes and tell everyone they are going someplace, but, they never remember this.
