Having a rough night. Saw the telephone pole I hit with my car today ( https://cumberland.crimewatchpa.com/nmiddletontwppd/14259/post/reportable-crash-vehicle-utility-pole ). Realizing how I could have died. Don’t think I’ve ever been so close when having had a seizure.

Feel like I’m putting this on Nostr because I feel alone and can’t keep talking to my mom about it.

I’m exhausted. I tried so hard to smile today. Never had so many people before tell me how glad they are I’m not hurt or worse, but it’s that same look I’ve seen for the past ten years after having had a seizure. Like I’m a different person than I was.

Don’t mean to complain. Not asking for zaps, reactions, or reposts. I just need to get out of my head is all.

Sometimes I look at my stack and think, “what am I doing this for? Why do I get up in the morning? Why do I go to work.

I’m not gonna do anything. Promise. I came to a point years ago that suicide is for cowards. I’ll die when God is ready for me.

Just don’t know what I’m doing… feeling lost.

Sharing is strength. Keep striving comrade.

Thanks. I need people saying things like this.

keep on keeping on sir...

Ever had the brain scan thing where they try to get a scan whilst having a seizure?

I’ve had plenty of brain scans. EEG’s and MRI’s. Blood tests. Had a CAT scan after the wreck from this last one. I hate doing them now. Makes me feel like I’m half-human.

Friend did all that shit for years and no driving for 15 years or something. Then they took him off meds whilst doing the scan to try and induce seizure. Identified small thing, had a surgery and is seizure free. I think he wrote a blog about it. Will look after dinner

Can’t find it. Pinged him but he’s in Spain so prolly asleep

There you go. Might help to read others’ experiences as much as anything else. Hope it helps

Glad you’re alright man. Have you had seizures before?

We gotchu. 🫂🫂🫂🫂 Vent and share away.

As someone who’s had a couple near death experiences and close calls mostly brought on by mania or depression during extreme bipolar episodes, I feel you. These things are not easy burdens to move through life carrying not knowing exactly when they’ll strike. Keep on keeping on is all you can do sometimes. 💪🏼

Glad you’re ok. Be well. 🫂

So grateful you are still here, i’m so sorry dan

Blessings to you brother glad you're alive🫂💜

Wishing you well 🫂🧡

I’m here if you need to chat. I can’t imagine how terrible and scary that has to be. If you want to talk about the accident or would rather talk about something else as a distraction.

I’m sorry this happened and that you are going through a difficult time right now.

It’s always good to get it out and we on Nostr are always here to listen and support you.

This too shall pass my friend, remember.. god or the universe only ever give you what you can handle 🫂💜

Feel free to reach out anytime🫂

In the name of Jesus, I appropriate all he paid for on your behalf—healing, life, freedom (Matt. 8:17)

God bless ya man!! Be easy ❤️

I’m so sorry you had another one dan 😞🫂 I’m so glad you’re with us here on nostr 🫂 you are a truly wonderful man 💜🫂

It’s only part of the quote 🫂:

‘Whatever you do in life will be insignificant but it is very important that you do it because you can't know. You can't ever really know the meaning of your life. And you don't need to. Every life has a meaning, whether it lasts one hundred years or one hundred seconds.’

- Ghandi

It will all make sense one day 🙏🏽🫂🥹 and in the meantime, you should know you are brilliant

🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

Glad you're alright 🫂

Take things a day at a time. Anytime negative thoughts start to seep in do your best to clear out your head and your heart. You aren’t hurt or worse so just write down, voice or find any positive outlet to express yourself. Take a slow, steady deep breath and reassure yourself that even if you might feel alone or empty that you are not.

Sorry to hear this.

I hear you. Feeling tired and lost is hard.

Do you have someone IRL besides your Mom that you can talk to? It’s good to get this stuff out.

Blessed to have you as an active member, contributor, and organizer of our meetup! HODL ON!

oh, I'm sorry. Hugs from this internet stranger. 🫂

I'm glad that you're ok.

🫂

Sounds like you have some PTSD from the trauma. Think of it like pulling a muscle, but your brain. It's normal to be affected after things like this, allow yourself some rest to heal. 🫂

If you need there are treatments like EMDR that can help.

We are all just along for the ride in this life brother. I feel ya, I have felt very out of control for periods of my life when struggling with frequent panic attacks.

May not do anything for ya but grounding/earthing has helped me a lot.

Much love 🫂💜

Sending hugs your way my dude. I hope for clarity and brighter days ahead. Thankful you are ok and thank you for sharing with us. 🫂

You just need lots of hugs. I'm glad you feel you can reach out.

We never know what people are going through️ at any given time. Hope you're feeling better soon, and remember that you're never alone...❤️❤️❤️

Damn dog happy to hear you survived. I too have epilepsy so I know that post seizure feeling. Rest and recovery is always the best medicine.

I can totally relate. I am sending peace energy your way.🙏🏽 and I’m glad it wasn’t a tree❤️

Two people in my family have epilepsy. One died a few years back, from unrelated complications. One of the smartest guys I knew and was a great resource when it came to Christian apologetics for me when I was an atheist. I knew he had it but he always seemed so powerful to me, probably because he didn't let it define him. Wish I would have talked to him more now, what sort of things he liked to do, how he would use his effective time to the best of his ability, etc.

Sending hugs your way, all of us here on nostr will gladly listen any time you need to express your thoughts or emotions. Glad you are ok.
