Living with Epilepsy - Seizures, Doctors & Anxiety - This is one of the best videos I’ve seen to describe the epileptic experience (it aligns with mine, especially with how psychedelic my seizures feel, the feeling of increasing inescapable “impending doom” & what my triggers are).

Sounds like it could be a bad acid trip. When I was a kid, a guy about to walk past me suddenly fell flat on his face. Having a warning that it's about to happen would make a huge difference. That poor guys face had obviously been smashed flat many times before, and having your head repeatedly hit the ground like that has got to be bad for you.

Yeah, there are people who don’t get auras.. I feel really bad for them.. at least I know it’s coming. And god forbid those people are insistent on getting a drivers license, find a new neuro and lie to him and take benzos or something to make their eeg look semi-normal.. not only will they kill themselves if they go out in the car, they’ll kill a lot of people.. I never, ever drive if I’m not feeling well. I wouldn’t be able to live with the fact that I killed people over traveling for no reason.

The only psychedelic I’ve ever had is ketamine at a doctors office, I fucking hated it. Because of epilepsy, I don’t like the feeling of not being in control of my body - it scares me. This is partially why I don’t drink alcohol period.
