I know there's a girl in my class who has a similar condition. I remember her having to lie on the floor once because of it and some of her friends sat with her to keep her company as she came out of it.
I was diagnosed with Epilepsy when I was 2. I had a Seizure in Kindergarten and the Teacher called my Mom to take me home. Both my Mom and Dad were Army National Guard back then. When I was 8 I had a Brain Tumor surgically removed. 24 years Seizure free.
My boyfriend has epilepsy and he gets absent seizures sometimes so I know what your going through and I’m sorry that you have to go through that but I’m glad people like you raise awareness ❤
@@LeonSKennedy7777it is real but her seizures are from a psychological origin rather than your classical epileptic origin. An epileptic absence seizure looks similar to this but is slightly different. Both types are involuntary and real, but epileptic absences are caused by electrical activity in the brain changing (it's physiological). In her case, the electrical patterns stay the same, and on a psychological level something changes. Either way she is very brave to share her story and raise awareness, wishing her strong thoughts and admiring her drive to carry on with her day to day activities ❤
My cousin, who is 24 years old, has special needs and requires a caregiver. Additionally, she has been diagnosed with seizures but we will always love her and we are sorry you have to go through that😊😢
I’m 43 but I remember in 6th grade there was a girl in my class who had something similar. Being nasty children, everyone thought she was faking it for attention. Also the late 80’s and early 90’s we weren’t very informed. I feel guilt when I think back at nobody believing her. Thank you for your videos. You are helping to educate people and bring awareness to a pretty silent topic (by silent I just mean that there isn’t much talk or education about it). Thank you for teaching this old lady new stuff. You are strong and brave. Wishing you so much happiness 💜💙
I know how it feels. I have it too. I try to ignore the pain. As a man. Nobody gives a shit. Until it gets critical. Fainting away. Usually when I have it. I cant tell someone. Because it affects my words. Usually try to ignore it. The overheating and the pain. Until I can get safe place. Or find someone that can help me. But its tough. Its a huge struggle.
I wish society didn't make it seem like if men had problems, were sick or showing emotions they were weak. Everyone has feelings and shouldn't be treated any less cause they were showing 'weakness'. everyone deserves the right to receive help or support and not be judged for it. I hope you have some people to lean on. You deserve it.
Hi there, as someone with absent seizures I’m going to tell all of you about my experience with them and how they feel. When ever I’m having an absent seizure, it feels like I’m forgetting everything and I’m just in my own world, usually someone has to tap me or i will snap out of it, they don’t last long. I also have epilepsy so I’m also going to tell you guys about it and how it feels Whenever this happens my eyes roll back, making it look like I’m rolling my eyes, which sometimes gets me in trouble with teachers who have not paid attention to my health papers at the beginning of the year, and the worst part is that I don’t even know when this happens, just like my absent seizures Thanks for taking time for reading this and hopefully spread awareness for people who don’t know what these disorders are! I hope you learned something new, and I hope that someday scientists finds cure for all sorts of seizures
Im so sorry that you have to go through this, we all have challenges in life, all different and unique. But thats what makes us unique. Your so gorgeous but more importantly your so amazing and have such a good personality. Im in rough times right now, but every time i see you post on yt or insta it makes my heart so happy to see you and how you are, good or bad. Your golden and i hope you know that, you make a difference, your making one right now, stay safe and stay you. Love you!
My friend has fnd so she knows how this feels. I have to help her sometimes, for instant she scratches herself and doesn't realise so I have to hold her hands apart to stop her from damaging herself. I know it's hard but we all are here to help ❤.
I’m so sorry you have to live with this. I developed seizures after a traumatic brain injury and I’ve had anxiety, and PTSD about ever having another one. There is nothing scarier in this world. I personally lose consciousness and pass out on to the floor every time. Thank god I can get out 2 words yelling for help.
I remember in high school I took a ‘bathroom break’ and just started walking the hallways. I go down the stairs and a girl in my grade was having a seizure (apparently they had everyone on lockdown after I left so nobody would see it), a bunch of admins and the nurse around her. None of them thought to support her head, so I took my sweatshirt off and my t shirt went with it. I was pretty hefty at the time, but wasn’t thinking about that, just placed it under her head so she wasn’t banging her head on tile floor. We became really good friends after that.
Damn I feel you. I’ve had 10 in a 7 year span being unpredictable and recently have gotten worse and has caused me to develop very bad anxiety to where I can confuse it with a seizure coming sometimes. Just know you’re not alone and I understand the fear and feeling of it
I remember in 6th grade I was in math class and a kid started having a seizure and started saying protect my shoe! Protect my shoe! And then started to fall so my teacher pushed a kid out of the way and dived headfirst catching her.
I’m so sorry for what you go through. I want you to know that we all love you and support you and I’ll be here any time. I’ll pray for your health, happiness, anything. I just want you to be safe, love u 🙏🏻💗
Thank you for sharing this with us. I hope you go through this journey perseveringly in prayer and patience, and that people around you will understand and be a help to you. May God bless you always!
As a severe epileptic who has several types of seizures myself, this was very anxiety endusing to watch. Sometimes i think its harder on my family then myself. Sorry kiddo. Please don't let this define who u are. ❤️
Quick runthrough of what a childhood absence epilepsy is for the curious ones : • sudden impairment of consciousness (can be preceded by warning signs) • No change in body tone • lasts a few seconds • usually remits by puberty • no post ictal confusion (quickly comes back to the real world) • classic EEG finding : 2.5-5 Hz spike wave activity superimposed on a normal background EEG • Ethisuximide is the first line treatment (Blocks thalamic T type calcium channels) Hope this was helpful :)
I have recently been diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 27, and have tonic-clonic seizures. The most recent one has cut my eyebrow open and the back of head. I wouldnt wish it upon my worst enemies. I hope you are well and p.s you're a very beautiful lady ❤️
Your story is so close to mine, I had my first one driving after trying to stop smoking weed for a few days after doing it my whole life. Then totaled my wife’s car and was arrested because I couldn’t pass a field sobriety test. Because I didn’t know what tf just happened.. been dealing with them for 6 years now since. Hope life brings you everything you want and then some. Shits so scary with my kids man
I kind of having seizures, it happens once a year, but this year it happened twice; once in my Mom's car, way to college and another one in the campus, in the classroom. My classmates told me, that they're scared and watches me laying on the floor, while thrashing about and screaming or talking incoherent words, and while my lecturer try to calm me down, they call for my parents to help. I woke up after a few hours later and my Mom took me home.. Since that accident, I become overthinking and anxious around my classmates, scared that if my seizure happened again and scared them. I just feel bad about them, that I'm afraid they don't want to become my friends again.. I haven't been diagnosed with it tho because of financial problem, but I'm sure I have it, because it happened. It was so sudden and it happened in public place, when before that, it only happened at home and only my family know it.. (Sorry if this confusing and bad grammar..)
I understand EXACTLY what you're going through, as I have had a couple this year already & I think its one thing for people who witness, but a whole other for the ones experiencing it & I can tell you, even at 39 years old, feeling one coming on is SCARY! I will lie down & just keep telling mySelf to go to sleep, so I don't have to stay conscious for the twitches & spacy feeling... also, do your hands & feet get clammy? Mine do & thats a sure sign for me, that I'm about to have one...
It is a better idea to record a person having a seizure or an animal having a seizure. Because then you can take that video on your phone and show the Doctors or paramedics what is going on. Instead of trying to remember what has happened. And them asking you questions like how long was the seizure and what was the symptoms of the person or animal was having the seizure. So if a person or animal is having a seizure record it or have another person record it so you have a record of it to show Doctors and nurses or paramedics incase you forget a symptom or the duration of the seizure.
May God watch over u 😢 This breaks my heart. I have SVT not the same but people who have physical problems we can feel when something is about to start. It's the worst feeling. I'll pray for u sweetie 🙏
I spend so much time in absentee seizure activity. I have had to be put in medically induced for unstoppable Grand Mal seizures that lasted so long that fluid accumulated in my lungs. Prayers for you beautiful and precious lady.
The fact that you still live your life an do normal things is awesome!! I pray things gets better for you an everyone that suffers with this syndrome… Be safe Godspeed
I want to say thank you for sharing your experiences this has really opened my eyes I've been experiencing this for years now and I didn't know what was going on thank you for having the courage to show the world you're an amazing person and you're a beautiful person inside and out you're strong woman thank you again
It’s not diagnosed yet? I was diagnosed with Epilepsy when I was 2. When I had a Seizure in Kindergarten the Teacher called my Mom to take me home which must have been real awkward because my Mom and Dad were Army National Guard. I had a Seizure surgically removed when I was 8. 24 years Seizure free.
I do this also, but never knew about until this very second. I've been doing this for year's. I never realized that was the cause. Thank you for posting this, my goodness............🕊️
I have Epilepsy, but idk how to controll my Seizures, cuz i am still a kid sometimes i feel dizzy too but I always distract myself from the fact that I am healthy because I always panic about getting a seizure. I love how the way you are. You're such a great person. I hope one day That you are healthy and will lead a great life!❤
I was diagnosed with Epilepsy when I was 2. I remember my Mom telling me about the time I was in Kindergarten and I had a Seizure and the School called my Mom. Both my Mom and Dad were Army National Guard. I had a Tumor surgically removed when I was 8. 24 years Seizure free.
I have POTS and am getting tested for absence seizures because I have points in time that I don’t remember and trying to remember is like running into a brick wall. The testing is just a precaution because it could just be a lack of oxygenation to my brain. I had a tilt table test, and the oxygenation to my brain goes down 48% when I stand up.
Hi I really feel for you. I also have epilepsy and it's put me in a coma before. Although before the coma I couldn't tell if a seizure was coming or not but since the coma I can tell about 90percent of the time and that's really scary as I still hit the floor and lose consciousness. All my love ♥️
My daughter has partial or focal seizures that she can usually feel coming on. You kids that have to deal with this, at school or at the store are so strong!
I’d never realized seizures were this scary in person until yesterday. My one year old baby brother had a seizure due to a high temperature fever. 106 was the temp. Nothing we did would help get it down. I was terrified, at the age of 13 in hysterics as I voiced my fears to the 911 operator on the phone. My mother was panicking screaming and pleading for him to be okay as we watched his head jerk and I counted his each breathe. I’m forever greatful for those who showed up yesterday, they were there within literally 3 minutes. I was terrified to even hold the baby that day. He would shake and shiver and I’d freak out because I was alone as I watched him. My mother was sick, so I was left to the task of babysitting. It was so scary, poor baby.
I have epilepsy, this happened to me during class in 3rd grade when I was first diagnosed with epilepsy, I feel happy that there are others going through the same thing as me, and just know, your not the only one going through this
Oh Zara ...this just sucks so bad. But you are so strong getting through all of it. I couldn't even imagine. My heart just breaks every time. Maybe because I'm a mom. Maybe because of how unfair it is. Idk. But you are such a trooper and we just love you ❤
I can relate to this 100% I have epilepsy with absent seizures and half the time I can’t talk and I will either stare off into space or I’m making a chewing motion with my mouth, and over the last 2 years I’ve had 13 seizures at school. Last year and the year before all together I missed a total of a whole year of school. The only way to get through it is to keep fighting. I always say to other who have epilepsy is “you are one of the strongest warriors on the planet. Nobody who doesn’t have epilepsy can say anything different. Remember to keep fighting and no matter what you will always win over the fight against epilepsy even if it means you’re in a hospital with an IV in your arm.”
As a fellow epileptic person, I feel you. It’s so scary to “awaken” from a seizure and have no idea what happened or what you did while experiencing it.
wow I have tourette's and absence seizures too I've been diagnosed with a lot of things too. It's hard to get use to especially in public I have tourettes seizures schizophrenia and a little more 9 pills a day used to be 10 but we decrease it. you're very brave to get on a camera and show what you have keep up the good videos I'm looking forward to watch more 💕
A boy in my class had a seizure today. I’m going to tell the story because there is a point behind it. We’re going to call the boy Daniel. I’m in 8th grade and this occurred during my 6th period math class. We’re gonna call the teacher Mr. Brown. I also had this class with my friend, we will call her Jenna. Anyways, this year Mr, Brown is a new teacher. Very nervous kind of guy. Today during class I was sitting with Jenna and another girl at our table. There’s another table behind us where Daniel and his friends sat. I sort of know Daniel. We were friends in sixth grade but kind of fell out. Anyways, Jenna got up from our table to go to the bathroom. We were all just sitting quietly in class going over notes. I was focused down on my paper when suddenly one of the girls at Daniel’s table yelled “Daniel!”. I looked up and Daniel is slumped over in his chair, arms splayed and mouth open. He wasn’t shaking or anything like in the movies, just laying there. Mr. Brown immediately knew what was happening. He stayed very calm. He told all of us Daniel was having a seizure and asked us to push our desks away. We did so and Mr. Brown stood by Daniel and held his head so he wouldn’t hit it on anything or hurt his neck. He sent one of the boys down to the office to get the nurse. We all just watched. The seizure lasted less than a minute before Daniel came to. Daniel immediately knew what was going on and assured Mr. Brown that seizures were a normal occurrence for him. Eventually the boy comes back with the nurse, the front office ladies and the school resource officer. They asked us to leave the room to give Daniel some space. We did and quietly waited in the hallway. Eventually the principal showed up and told us to wait in the library. When we started walking to the library that was when Jenna came back. As we walked to the library I explained to her what happened. We quietly waited in the library for a bit. Soon we went back to class and Daniel went to the office. Once we were back in class we had a class discussion about seizures and what they were. After that, we continued the notes. I’m very proud of the majority of my class for being mature about it. Most people kept it to themselves and didn’t spread it. It was the first seizure I had ever witnessed. Later, when I got home from school I told my dad about what happened and he mentioned having seen seizures of many types before. We talked a bit, I think I’ve come to understand a few simple things. One, seizures are very different for everyone and the movies do not depict them properly. Two, seizures can be a hard thing for everyone and it’s important to help keep a persons privacy. Last, seizures are incredibly common and it shouldn’t be a huge deal. Hope this helped anybody who needed it.
Thank you, genuinely, for making a video of this. I've never heard of FND before and you seem to have almost all the symptoms I do. I've been to the ER twice for my seizures and never gotten much help. And I've been trying to get a diagnosis for over two years. This probably isn't just this, but it could have something to do with my health issues, and I'll grasp any straws I can get at this point.
I hope all is well I personally group up with epilepsy at the age of 9 until I was 16 years old they discharged me there was no more seizure activity. However I know how you feel during this type of moment keep strong there is hope all of it will go away one day.
I have tonic clonic seizures, and there's a lot more time spent between the phases. It's also difficult to breathe and your awareness isn't there even when it's over. You almost forget everything around you
haha not you helping me find out that i have had many absent seizures a lot. i thought i was just zoning out but right after i had cheats pain and also dizziness, im so sorry you have to go through this tho
U should always stay with someone near you, the chest pain to me it looks like u stoped breathing when u spaced out ( I might be wrong but it really looks like you chest stoped moving) stay safe girl! U are a precious human being ^-^
I had my first seizure last week and craned my car into a lamp post, then took another 2 within 8 hours after that, i just wanted to thank you for posting these videos, ive watched them for a while and it not only helps me feel less alone, but was also reasuring to know what i went through when i was unconscious
I got TLE diagnosed legitimately for the first time after the started after my 2nd brain surgery for Arachnoid Cyst in 2007 just a few months ago. I thank god i found a doctor who listened to me and prescribed me with a Benzo based Medication. I feel this girls pain because people will call you attention seeking or crazy making you second guess yourself you are having a panic attack. But i hope she is thankful, because there are people out there who have up to 50to 60 attacks a day. God bless you. Also Just remember epilepsy has been considered through out history THE DEVINE ILLNESS. if people like me and her or you lived in the 17th 18th and 19th century we would be burned at the stake. People with epilepsy have a very complex perspective with the world around us especially when it comes to the human consciousness.
I think this might be happening to me… I’m in 7th grade and every day I’m getting dizzy one time I passed out during class I stood up and passed out right away my friend caught me before I could slam my head on the desk and I’ve went to the drs I’ve gotta get a heart monitor and I’ve been zoning out so much every day I get so dizzy to the point I can’t feel anything or I can barely hear and I’m getting scared I’m only 13 and like I’m so ready for this to be over i
It's a love hate with these type of videos. I love your courageous enough to show us and educate us.. but I hate how heartbreaking it is to watch a beautiful soul deal with such an ugly condition.
have the same problem here. I play mobile games, I just lose my self I am a little bit aware but I truly zone out and right after time has passed at little makes me feel annoyed as i only get a few seconds to do a quick move in chess. It gets on my nerves I just quit playing and I really think it was just daydreaming but when i watch clips about a seizure I relate on it more

Quick runthrough of what a childhood absence epilepsy is for the curious ones :
• sudden impairment of consciousness (can be preceded by warning signs)
• No change in body tone
• lasts a few seconds
• usually remits by puberty
• no post ictal confusion (quickly comes back to the real world)
• classic EEG finding : 2.5-5 Hz spike wave activity superimposed on a normal background EEG
• Ethisuximide is the first line treatment
(Blocks thalamic T type calcium channels)

So if a person or animal is having a seizure record it or have another person record it so you have a record of it to show Doctors and nurses or paramedics incase you forget a symptom or the duration of the seizure.
I wish more everyday people were as strong as you, your an amazing young lady and you never quit at success! Bless you❤
May God watch over u 😢 This breaks my heart. I have SVT not the same but people who have physical problems we can feel when something is about to start. It's the worst feeling. I'll pray for u sweetie 🙏
I spend so much time in absentee seizure activity. I have had to be put in medically induced for unstoppable Grand Mal seizures that lasted so long that fluid accumulated in my lungs. Prayers for you beautiful and precious lady.

I always have absence seizures in class and end up getting in trouble for not paying attention because it’s not diagnosed yet 😢
It’s not diagnosed yet?
I was diagnosed with Epilepsy when I was 2.
When I had a Seizure in Kindergarten the Teacher called my Mom to take me home which must have been real awkward because my Mom and Dad were Army National Guard.
I had a Seizure surgically removed when I was 8.
24 years Seizure free.
My autism also isn’t diagnosed
😑 also it could just be me zoning out
This so hurts me inside for her. I wish i had the power to cure her ❤❤
This is literally me before a tonic clonic 😢
I do this also, but never knew about until this very second. I've been doing this for year's. I never realized that was the cause. Thank you for posting this, my goodness............🕊️
That sucks .Feel for your pain .
Thank you for sharing all your videos. I'm so sorry you have to go through all of this 😢
I have Epilepsy, but idk how to controll my Seizures, cuz i am still a kid sometimes i feel dizzy too but I always distract myself from the fact that I am healthy because I always panic about getting a seizure. I love how the way you are. You're such a great person. I hope one day That you are healthy and will lead a great life!❤
I was diagnosed with Epilepsy when I was 2.
I remember my Mom telling me about the time I was in Kindergarten and I had a Seizure and the School called my Mom.
Both my Mom and Dad were Army National Guard.
I had a Tumor surgically removed when I was 8.
24 years Seizure free.
I have POTS and am getting tested for absence seizures because I have points in time that I don’t remember and trying to remember is like running into a brick wall. The testing is just a precaution because it could just be a lack of oxygenation to my brain. I had a tilt table test, and the oxygenation to my brain goes down 48% when I stand up.
I feel sorry you have to go through this experience. Seizures are scary. 🫂❤
Hi I really feel for you. I also have epilepsy and it's put me in a coma before. Although before the coma I couldn't tell if a seizure was coming or not but since the coma I can tell about 90percent of the time and that's really scary as I still hit the floor and lose consciousness. All my love ♥️
My daughter has partial or focal seizures that she can usually feel coming on. You kids that have to deal with this, at school or at the store are so strong!
You're a soldier even with this stay strong
I’d never realized seizures were this scary in person until yesterday. My one year old baby brother had a seizure due to a high temperature fever. 106 was the temp. Nothing we did would help get it down. I was terrified, at the age of 13 in hysterics as I voiced my fears to the 911 operator on the phone. My mother was panicking screaming and pleading for him to be okay as we watched his head jerk and I counted his each breathe.
I’m forever greatful for those who showed up yesterday, they were there within literally 3 minutes. I was terrified to even hold the baby that day. He would shake and shiver and I’d freak out because I was alone as I watched him. My mother was sick, so I was left to the task of babysitting. It was so scary, poor baby.
I have epilepsy, this happened to me during class in 3rd grade when I was first diagnosed with epilepsy, I feel happy that there are others going through the same thing as me, and just know, your not the only one going through this
I'm so sorry that you go throuht that😢
Aw I feel bad for you I hope your feeling better now😊
Oh Zara ...this just sucks so bad. But you are so strong getting through all of it. I couldn't even imagine. My heart just breaks every time. Maybe because I'm a mom. Maybe because of how unfair it is. Idk. But you are such a trooper and we just love you ❤
I went from watching an itsartemm TH-cam short to watching these poor souls suffer like this. I feel terrible for these people.
Beautiful girl have strength and faith this will pass when you grow older ❤
I can relate to this 100% I have epilepsy with absent seizures and half the time I can’t talk and I will either stare off into space or I’m making a chewing motion with my mouth, and over the last 2 years I’ve had 13 seizures at school. Last year and the year before all together I missed a total of a whole year of school. The only way to get through it is to keep fighting. I always say to other who have epilepsy is “you are one of the strongest warriors on the planet. Nobody who doesn’t have epilepsy can say anything different. Remember to keep fighting and no matter what you will always win over the fight against epilepsy even if it means you’re in a hospital with an IV in your arm.”
I'm so sorry. 😢
Your such a beautiful person, love watching your shorts.❤
As a fellow epileptic person, I feel you. It’s so scary to “awaken” from a seizure and have no idea what happened or what you did while experiencing it.
wow I have tourette's and absence seizures too I've been diagnosed with a lot of things too. It's hard to get use to especially in public I have tourettes seizures schizophrenia and a little more 9 pills a day used to be 10 but we decrease it. you're very brave to get on a camera and show what you have keep up the good videos I'm looking forward to watch more 💕
A boy in my class had a seizure today. I’m going to tell the story because there is a point behind it. We’re going to call the boy Daniel. I’m in 8th grade and this occurred during my 6th period math class. We’re gonna call the teacher Mr. Brown. I also had this class with my friend, we will call her Jenna. Anyways, this year Mr, Brown is a new teacher. Very nervous kind of guy. Today during class I was sitting with Jenna and another girl at our table. There’s another table behind us where Daniel and his friends sat. I sort of know Daniel. We were friends in sixth grade but kind of fell out. Anyways, Jenna got up from our table to go to the bathroom. We were all just sitting quietly in class going over notes. I was focused down on my paper when suddenly one of the girls at Daniel’s table yelled “Daniel!”. I looked up and Daniel is slumped over in his chair, arms splayed and mouth open. He wasn’t shaking or anything like in the movies, just laying there. Mr. Brown immediately knew what was happening. He stayed very calm. He told all of us Daniel was having a seizure and asked us to push our desks away. We did so and Mr. Brown stood by Daniel and held his head so he wouldn’t hit it on anything or hurt his neck. He sent one of the boys down to the office to get the nurse. We all just watched. The seizure lasted less than a minute before Daniel came to. Daniel immediately knew what was going on and assured Mr. Brown that seizures were a normal occurrence for him. Eventually the boy comes back with the nurse, the front office ladies and the school resource officer. They asked us to leave the room to give Daniel some space. We did and quietly waited in the hallway. Eventually the principal showed up and told us to wait in the library. When we started walking to the library that was when Jenna came back. As we walked to the library I explained to her what happened. We quietly waited in the library for a bit. Soon we went back to class and Daniel went to the office. Once we were back in class we had a class discussion about seizures and what they were. After that, we continued the notes. I’m very proud of the majority of my class for being mature about it. Most people kept it to themselves and didn’t spread it. It was the first seizure I had ever witnessed. Later, when I got home from school I told my dad about what happened and he mentioned having seen seizures of many types before. We talked a bit, I think I’ve come to understand a few simple things. One, seizures are very different for everyone and the movies do not depict them properly. Two, seizures can be a hard thing for everyone and it’s important to help keep a persons privacy. Last, seizures are incredibly common and it shouldn’t be a huge deal. Hope this helped anybody who needed it.
Thanks for sharing!
Helpful for research!👍
I have epilepsy too, it’s gotten worse since I stopped my meds back in 2014. Hoping to get back on them
Thank you, genuinely, for making a video of this. I've never heard of FND before and you seem to have almost all the symptoms I do. I've been to the ER twice for my seizures and never gotten much help. And I've been trying to get a diagnosis for over two years. This probably isn't just this, but it could have something to do with my health issues, and I'll grasp any straws I can get at this point.
I hope all is well I personally group up with epilepsy at the age of 9 until I was 16 years old they discharged me there was no more seizure activity. However I know how you feel during this type of moment keep strong there is hope all of it will go away one day.
It is so difficult to explain to people the aura (pre-sezuire) or absent seizure. Thank you for showing what it is.
I have tonic clonic seizures, and there's a lot more time spent between the phases. It's also difficult to breathe and your awareness isn't there even when it's over. You almost forget everything around you
Great job being positive about it, Zara 🫶🏼
I have it too and it’s really scary😭💔💔💔
I suffer the same and feel for you ❤
haha not you helping me find out that i have had many absent seizures a lot. i thought i was just zoning out but right after i had cheats pain and also dizziness, im so sorry you have to go through this tho
Thanks for posting this
God bless ❤❤
I pray you get better and better each day!!
My poor sister has absence seizures quite often :( I’m so sorry you have to do Al this and go through all of it..
U should always stay with someone near you, the chest pain to me it looks like u stoped breathing when u spaced out ( I might be wrong but it really looks like you chest stoped moving) stay safe girl! U are a precious human being ^-^
I pray you're doing well
I had my first seizure last week and craned my car into a lamp post, then took another 2 within 8 hours after that, i just wanted to thank you for posting these videos, ive watched them for a while and it not only helps me feel less alone, but was also reasuring to know what i went through when i was unconscious
I got TLE diagnosed legitimately for the first time after the started after my 2nd brain surgery for Arachnoid Cyst in 2007 just a few months ago. I thank god i found a doctor who listened to me and prescribed me with a Benzo based Medication. I feel this girls pain because people will call you attention seeking or crazy making you second guess yourself you are having a panic attack. But i hope she is thankful, because there are people out there who have up to 50to 60 attacks a day. God bless you. Also Just remember epilepsy has been considered through out history THE DEVINE ILLNESS. if people like me and her or you lived in the 17th 18th and 19th century we would be burned at the stake. People with epilepsy have a very complex perspective with the world around us especially when it comes to the human consciousness.
I think this might be happening to me… I’m in 7th grade and every day I’m getting dizzy one time I passed out during class I stood up and passed out right away my friend caught me before I could slam my head on the desk and I’ve went to the drs I’ve gotta get a heart monitor and I’ve been zoning out so much every day I get so dizzy to the point I can’t feel anything or I can barely hear and I’m getting scared I’m only 13 and like I’m so ready for this to be over i
I feel you very much because I also have epilepsy
It's a love hate with these type of videos. I love your courageous enough to show us and educate us.. but I hate how heartbreaking it is to watch a beautiful soul deal with such an ugly condition.
Are you kidding??.what's so heartbreaking about gently dozing off??..
Your beautiful inside and out
Ohh that might be why my friend looked worried when I was staring into space. When I’m into space, I don’t blink and he got anxious
Hope you are ok Zara you are strong I know it ❤
I went 5 years without one and just started having them again ik how she feels your not the only one
I also have absence seizures. It's somehow nice to know I'm not the only one.
I know how she feels as all my best friends have it😮😢
i had a seizure today and im watching videos to help me get aware of how to stop it more
have the same problem here. I play mobile games, I just lose my self I am a little bit aware but I truly zone out and right after time has passed at little makes me feel annoyed as i only get a few seconds to do a quick move in chess. It gets on my nerves I just quit playing and I really think it was just daydreaming but when i watch clips about a seizure I relate on it more
That's really scary. My mom gets seizures. I hope you stay safe
