Got a well paying job at a construction site. Broke until tomorrow. Awkwardly smoked my first half a pack in 6 years after only 2 days on the job.
On the plus side though I got paid $300 so far for sitting around waiting lmao.

It makes me feel so shitty, but my vapes are out of commission until I hit a vape shop.
Today has been… Interesting.
I have little to no recollection of any of this but according to my partner, around 6:20AM this morning I made a large gasping noise which my partner assumed was due to bumping my collarbone
My partner looked over to see me foaming at the mouth and twitching in the eyes. My partner rolled me on to my side as I continue to thrash a bit.
Eventually I asked THEM if they were okay with what they call “the verbality of a toddler”
Eventually I wake up and sit up but wasn’t acting very cognizant, my pupils were very dilated. My partner helped me get dressed and I stumbled down the stairs. I went to the bathroom first and then met my partner in our living room on the couch. Once I made it to the couch (this is the first thing I remember) I seemed to properly wake up, I was still kinda struggling to process, my family asked me some questions and I said 2013 was the year I was born and the current US president was Tacoma (WA)
I ended up going to the hospital, got my urine checked, blood labs, EKG, and a CAT scan. Nothing showed anything out of the ordinary so I went home and took a nap.
During that nap I had my second seizure of the day! I went back to the hospital, got some medication prescribed and an IV injection.
I’m currently back home, I’ve decided to sleep in the living room so that everybody else in the house is more easily available. Having 1 seizure is jarring, having a second seizure within hours of returning from the hospital is entirely different.
@iNoLikeFlexyDecks I know you have some experience with epilepsy (and it does sound like your seizures present very differently) but do you have any recommendations? Suggestions? Advice? I have a referral to see a neurologist but I’m not exactly sure what else I’m supposed to do with this information.
Fortunately I am okay I’m healthy. I have a prescription that should prevent any more seizures but this is all very new and spooky to me.

shit man. That sounds pretty freaky. I hope the neurologist gets you sorted out right.

Fuck dude 
I don’t often get scared reading stuff but that shook me a little bit, I’m so glad you’re healthy and as good as you can be
I don’t have them myself, but my Gf had them growing up, and still will get them every now and then, I will ask her on what she does to help
Being on the other side of it is so scary imo, and I can’t imagine it being any better for you, Keeping you in my thoughts bro
If you’re finding it hard to process everything and need to chat don’t hesitate to reach out, I’m always around to have a chat
Hope it’s on the up and up from here, You’re strong, and just getting stronger bro, i’m rooting for ya

IMO it’s way easier for me, I have this teenager mentality where I have a hard time processing I’m in real danger without seeing myself bleeding out or seeing my bones out of shape. I’ll usually freak out more when somebody else breaks a bone than when I do. It’s certainly weird to seemingly gain consciousness in my living room with no recollection of how I got there but I cannot imagine how it must feel to watch your partner seize up.
Hey, for the first 22 years of my life neither did I, that was super weird to immediately start with 2 in a day lol.
I’m on hold with a neurologist to see if we can figure why all this is happening.

Also it feels worth mentioning that I’m pretty damn American, even in a situation where my brain wasn’t really working and I thought the president of the US was Tacoma Washington and that I was born in 2013. I still had the wherewithal to refuse an expensive 5 city block ambulance ride.

Hey
Sad to hear this happened to you.
There are some recommendations I have but they are not fun to hear.
First of all stop driving. For now.
Stop consuming sugar and caffeine
Sleep more and I can’t stress this enough. Sleep is the most important factor.
There are some meds that can really help out, but they will also slow down your brain… depends on which dose works if it’s a worthwhile trade off.
In the beginning the psychological damage of losing your memory can be pretty though.
Now it’s important to change your lifestyle drastically before you get any more scars on your brain. Everytime you have a seizure your memory can be affected, which is a very disassociating experience and in my opinion will lead to insanity if it happens too often.
Lmk ik you have some more questions. You can send me a pm. We can also move over to the mental health thread where there are more people with experience in this field.

I stand corrected, I just learned that this happened during/after my second seizure. These questions were asked by the EMTs

Hey I know it’s not esk8 related but hopefully someone can help me. My moms boyfriend ended with one of these probably from some flee market. He doesn’t have a charger & I don’t wanna give him the wrong one (that’ll be bad 
) so maybe someone here can guide me to which one I need. Here’s the link hopefully it’ll help

The v-22s are quiet when in airplane mode and coming at you, but loud when going away, or helicoptering above.
We had a bunch of Chinooks fly overhead here the other day,
They are pretty massive and loud.

I’ve never get anything crazier, it sounds like they are overhead for 60+ sec just cruising by
We always have a constant artillery noise going on here, being so close to base
