Same Experience

Does anyone wake up very confused and emotional? I woke up this morning dizzy. I have been having a hard time. Very confused and emotional. Struggling trying to do almost every thing. Like trying to focus and memory. Trying to use my phone. Having a hard time talking. Went to the store couldn't talk to cashier. If I would have I would of starting crying. I just need people to talk to that understand what it is like to have epilepsy.

Have Anyone Else Been Somewhere Else Having A Good Time And Suddenly SEIZURE!!!
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I actually went to a doctor appointment for my husband with him today. No arguments on the way, get there he does the test and we both start having a conversation with the doctor who did the test. She was so funny, we stayed there about 1 hour over our time and then my seizure. I am so tired of them happening at good times. We were all laughing, talking, having a good time and seizure. It didn't last long 45 seconds at the most and then I was rushed home and fell asleep .

Or do you know someone else who is like that? I am both an epileptic and an alcoholic, and I realize my substance abuse is putting me at an increased risk of having seizures. I very recently committed to getting sober, but I'm curious if anyone else can relate or if anyone knows someone who is in a similar situation to mine.
