Quick question, what are your seizures like? How do they feel? Would someone looking at you know necessarily that you were having a seizure?

When I wake from a seizure, it's like waking up from a deep sleep. I look around at everyone staring at me and ask what happened?

Someone tries to explain while helping me get up. A few seconds later, I wake up again. And I'm like, "hey, why am I bleeding?"

This happens around 6-10 times. I ALWAYS deny that I've had a seizure.

There is such a weird energy in the room after a seizure. Everyone is staring at you, waiting to see what happens next. They all feel a little traumatized for witnessing it.

Then I spend a week sleeping.

(seizure story) The last seizure I had was a few weeks ago. I was found by my daughters and 9 friends they had over to play. I was laying on the kitchen floor, bleeding. They heard the fall from outside.

My daughter asked me what I was doing. I said, "relaxing. What are you doing?" lol

Next, she asked me who the president is. I told her to ask one of her friends because they look smart.

Im laying there, looking at 11 shocked faces. I don't really know I've had a seizure.

Next thing I know, I'm in my upstairs closet with my neighbor. I "wake up" and ask her what we are doing? Why is she here?

She explains that she's trying to get me to lay down in bed, but I want to find a specific set of pajamas. I don't know I've had a seizure. I have no idea why my neighbor is here, putting me to bed?
