When the Disciples could not perform Miracles, they were not told to become Detached or to do somatic release work, they were told that they MUST Believe! — I had to share this as I have noticed in recent times a slurry of misinformation being shared on this subreddit. I see endless mentions now of the need to let go, the need to be constantly detached, t…

I saved a family member’s life and my narc parent tells everyone they’re a hero. — Note: I literally did the bare minimum when no one else would. An elderly family member of mine could not be contacted for more than a week. I only see this person a few times a year and we don’t r…

I’m 22 and lost my father to his addiction in January. I don't recognize myself anymore. — Hi everyone. I’m 22 years old and new to this community. I’m looking for some advice or support from adults who have navigated loss, as I feel completely lost. My father passed away on January 17th f…

Prazosin for nightmares — Hey, I have just started taking 1mg Prazosin/night in an effort to help my CPTSD nightmares. I also have epilepsy (seizures are both epileptic and non-epileptic). I was just wondering if anyone that …

as a fa, how can i learn how to ask for help? — Hi everyone. I'm not totally sure if this is an appropriate advice to ask in this sub, but I have some issues with social anxiety that are linked to my harsh inner critic, and one of them is asking fo…

what do i do? (advice HEAVILY appreciated) — \[TW for sexual objectification, medical, verbal, and physical abuse. COCSA and not being believed as a victim\] I’m 19, was ripped away from the state i lived my whole life in, was forced to move to…

Anyone else suffer from stress induced seizures? — My seizures don’t affect my brain. It’s kinda like an extreme panic attack. I’ve been tested and my doctor told me I had conversion disorder from extreme stress and trauma. Made sense bc my childhood …

Strictly speaking it's not true. Mental health is complex and sometimes symptoms will be medicated without knowing underlying diagnosis for sure. For example, if you have seizures or hallucinations it…

Yet they are allowed to make blanket ethical statements to pathologise someone who drinks too much alcohol. Not people who buy friendship with an easy currency (sex.) I had to buy a breathalyzer to f…

Agree with this 100%!!! An ex boyfriend choked me til I blacked out and now I have seizures from it

i, my mom was like that and also ig i use to glaze her as a kid but i dont remember she used to ask me as a kid if i would buy her jewelry and me being kid who wants mom to be happy i said yes. uhh fa…

Be carful Mugwort contains thujone a neurotoxin and can be dangerous in large doses. (It also brings on periods for women and can cause abortions if they are pregnant) Convulsions and Seizures: The…

Because I will not let this world break me completely and force my hand before I choose to go. And I also won't let it kill me by degrees and inches over months and years. It won't be because I'm ti…

Hi, very interesting, maybe you actually shifted. Please also read this. Just for safety xx To answer your question directly: Yes, these experiences are classic red flags for carbon monoxide exposur…

Your story is sad and beautiful, thanks for sharing it. I’ve gone through a lot of the same things. It’s crazy how much we endure. It sounds like you found an amazing man! I sadly found an amazing man…

Can relate to that a lot. It wasn't until maybe 8 years ago I learnt about dissociation for the first time, and that's something I've been suffering from my entire life. For a long time, I thought I w…

That sounds just as hard as what I have gone through. Sorry you are in such a place, but I am glad you are finally learning to slow down. I have Fibromaylgia as well as PNES (Psychogenic non-epileptic…

Seizures are very serious, take good care of yourself

Him: How many times do I have to apologize for that? Me: Once would be great. Asking how many times is not an apology. Him: You're just going to harp about this forever no matter what I do. Me: I…

Thank you! I do have Epilepsy as well, but functional seizures do not actually affect the brain at all. You can look visually like you are having a seizure without the abnormal brain activity that com…

I dated a woman that claimed to have seizures and would lie about it. I've asked on several occasions how often she gets them and sometimes she said every day and other times she says it's been years…

Exactly. Paxil worked well for my severe depression but it was absolutely destroying my sex drive. (Which was causing no small amount of new depression, to be honest.) I talked to my doctor about it a…

I know experiences vary, but I can’t “choose” to dissociate, unless I were to do something extreme like stare at a blank wall for hours, or did some form of sensory deprivation, or exposed myself deli…

Same here! Mine manifested in seizures and a twitch in the right side of my body. They improved a bit so far now that I’m out and NC (almost 5 months free now!) but it’s still a struggle. I’m so lucky…

Thank you for this answer. The last time I tried anti depressant meds I was a zombie all day, couldn’t cum worth shit, and when I threw them in the trash I wound up in the hospital with seizures from …

BIG TRIGGER WARNING: Yeah although I haven't seen anyone die because of it but it came really close. The emotional abuse was constant, but just one example of something that felt more surreal, was whe…

Exactly. I was caught in the beginning of this. My dog took phenobarbital for seizures. And had done for a decade. They put your pets meds on your narxcare score. Kaiser health treated me like a crimi…

This is dense, but all of it relates directly to your question, so bear with me... I had a major experience, but my memory of it was almost erased immediately afterward by an *external* force. I had…

My trauma comes from a number of things that might seem trivial: - my dad was away at work all the time, but I never experienced abuse in my household - got bullied a lot in elementary/middle school …

Dang, same experience here with my mom+step-dad. I also witnessed seizures that my mom had and it still haunts me since I was so young and didn't know what I was even observing.

Look up little T trauma. Being invalidated/or feeling unseen can really fuck with your self-esteem. Also your dad being absent could be regarded as emotional neglect and bullying has fair-reaching con…

Kids masturbate on their own without being taught. Really young kids do it and parents worry and bring it up to pediatricians. Docs often tell parents to record the behavior to rule out other things s…

Many, many parents think their child is having seizures (infantile spasms in really young children) and usually the first thing doctors do is watch a video before ordering expensive, invasive testing.…

One of my kids has had febrile seizures, he was taken to hospital for that. I guess in my mind that there's a real difference between a voluntary and involuntary action, which I'm guessing isn't as …

Your husband is ignorant and unbelievably selfish. Do not stop without consulting a doctor! It can cause seizures and other incredibly bad rebound effects depending on the medication. Do not do this! …

DO NOT do this on your own. talk to your doctor - stopping suddenly can cause seizures, and sometimes worse. take your meds.

NEVER, EVER, NEVER just stop taking antidepressants. Doing that can cause all kinds of serious problems like seizures, etc. Also, just talk to your doctor. Not all antidepressants lower libido. There …

Same in my adult years. It's not the regret for me that hurts, it's been the grieving of how many chances I gave, how much I trusted them, when I could have poured my energy into somebody that actuall…

I don’t know if it was extremely serious. It wasn’t responsible, but in your grandmother’s generation benzos were popped like TicTac’s and they were shared all the time. It wasn’t until much later tha…

Thank you so much for your detailed explanation, this had helped me a lot! I just have a few questions if you do not mind. When you said that the etheric body can be influenced with health like etheri…

Yeah I have seizures now I think in part because I was raised if theres no blood, vomit or bone sticking out its not serious. I was called a hypocondriact growing up so now healthcare workers saying i…

I think you should seek medical assistance for benzo withdrawals. They can be dangerous. Actually seems a little negligent for so many doctors to refuse to see you even to help with that... Withdrawal…

I think it is genuinely individual experience based. My personal experiences have developed into physical manifestations of illness in my body causing seizures and chronic pain and other illness. Th…

Mine won’t even go to the doctor. Claims she knows better. I was having full body convulsions at 6 months old. Everyone said “doctor now”. She said “they’re fine”. I blacked out constantly when I got …

His sudden episode shows Saturn in Scorpio with Ketu there creating hidden neurological stress. The memory gap is classic for this combination. He will recover but may have small recurrences. Ask doct…

It’s ok my sister was there for me. She gave up everything to bring me back at the hospital. Yeah gotta do that thing Rick and Morty mentioned and make them think they came up with it. I have gotten…

I’m sorry to hear how much difficulty you’re having at the moment. Disorganized attachment is rough. I remember my FA ex absolutely crashing out because he didn’t tell me he needed to be picked up for…

I worked it into my medical claiming sleeping during the day helps with my seizures by avoiding the hottest part of the day and how it lets them do things without worrying about my seizures. So I get …

My dog has epilepsy and seizures ever 1-2 weeks, and after a year of truly bad sleep, I was getting really resentful of her and feeling terrible about feeling resentful. I started labeling her epil…

You seriously need to leave. If someone is capable of killing cats with rat poison then they're capable of doing the same to you. I know it's harder than normal. Blast her on social media, call whatev…

Congratulations on your loss! And I do hope you're cured. I have anxiety seizures and they've nearly disappeared since going NC in 2023. 💜

What you’re describing here is just an uncomfortable psychedelic body load. It’s a miserable feeling but isn’t dangerous and can usually be dealt with with light exercise. The most common symptoms are…

there’s a lot you can’t control here, but there’s some you can 1. unless you have seizures or are blind, you need to get a license to be able to get yourself around. 2. if you’re not already, you…

What if you went to the ER and told the nurses you think you might be having seizures and want to take an EEG or MRI of head. Would Australia be able to order you those tests if you complained of head…

I'm just saying...that being diagnosed at 14 is young. And if your therapist lost his license because he was a quack (which is sadly very common). Then why don't we rule out the physical first. When y…

I don't have head pain? And I don't have seizures it's just stress spasms not a disorder, my stress stacked too much all at once. I'm past the peak it won't happen again, it's the mythical thinking th…

On one night last fall I had some LSD and 4 grams of GTs. After a while I felt I needed to lay down, so I did. What followed was about 3 to 4 hours of something that looked like, to ppl around me, se…
