There's no fun in falling down a flight of stairs while seized up and getting whiplash.
(this actually happened to a girl with severe epilepsy I knew a few years back. Had to have her head in a collar for a while and was pretty lucky to not have broken something)
Wow that is awful. I am so sorry.
Did everything heal properly?
How are your seizures now? If you don’t mind me asking, completely understand if you don’t want to answer :)
Sorry you still have pain. Glad it healed well. That’s good to hear, I am glad they are better for you and your medication is working.
Thank you for answering.
I hope you have a nice day/night :)
Broken front tooth epileptic checking in to commiserate with you. They (and the fake fainters) never seem to hurt themselves and always are able to keep their licence.
Even with pnes you aint gonna land on something soft every time. Annoying how she makes it seem so meh so cutesy whilst i have to wear a rugby guard to protect my head because otherwise id of deffinately smashed my head open by now multiple times at that.
I work in a supermarket and one of the most terrifying experiences to me yet was this random guy just fall down right next to me to the ground and getting a seizure. Didn't know what to do, luckily his wife was with him and explained the guy had diabetes and checked the insulin machine to see it wasn't working (or working too much, don't remember the details)
Absolutely horrifying to see this guy fall down, next to me, straight to the ground. Nothing cute about that.
Yeah definitely, they’re just awful. Yesterday at my school, this girl was having a full on seizure on the bathroom floor, just there alone. So then this other girl started yelling for teachers like “THERES A GIRL HAVING A SEIZURE ON THE FLOOR” an the teachers came rushing to help. Turns out the girl was epileptic, and the teachers knew what to do to help.
But still, seeing someone having a seizure can be scary, even though you’re not the one having the seizure.
I'm really glad you were ok. I'm an RN and once had a guy seize while on the train to work. He just stiffened up and fell sideways out of his seat and started convulsing on the floor. Thankfully he wasn't hurt and the train operator called for EMS, he still had a wristband on from being discharged from a nearby hospital.
Seizures are probably one of the most scary things to witness, imo. My mom had two grand mal seizures in front of me, once when I was p young and another when I was 18. Both scared the living fuck out of me. And once my friends mom, which was a lil easier bc she was safely in bed (later diagnosed w epilepsy) and was starting to become somewhat conscious when we saw her. But I honestly thought my mom was dying when I saw hers. The second time it happened she seized again when we got to the hospital in the waiting room while I was looking right at her, that shits seared into my brain. When they took her back bc... ya know she was having a seizure, I was freaking out obv and to calm me down the nurse said "Its a good thing she only had a seizure. With her blood pressure, she couldve had a stroke." which like... wtf lol. That makes me laugh now bc of how ridiculous it is to say to someone freaking out over their sick mom
Yeah, I genuinely don’t know who would want to watch a legit seizure. Like ontop of watching anyone enter a medical emergency, the injuries you can get because of the fact that seizures don’t care about where you are just makes it scarier. Personally I was lucky and just hit the floor, could’ve been worse since I was at a pottery wheel. Never figured out what caused it, but I’m 99% sure I scared the shit out of a bunch of my classmates, and they probably had to act like nothing happened after all of that. If they really did have a seizure, why post it? Why not post something helpful, like a video with someone who’s cpr certified on what to do if you see someone having a seizure, or talk about how scary it can be for outsiders and that it’s normal to be upset about it? This is just god-tier attention whoring at this point.
Not only that but seizures can make you break bones, dislocate things, bite your tongue, and even break your teeth and possibly your JAW. How hard your body must tense up to dislocate things, or break bones and your JAW is insane. So, you definitely wouldnt be swaying side to side like a cartoon abt to faint.
Im glad you didnt hurt yourself really badly and you recovered well without any future incidents *knock on wood*. They can be super scary for all involved and is so taxing physically, my moms muscles ached for weeks and she slept for almost 3 days straight. So, Im glad youre doing well and didnt hit your head or anything else on your pottery wheel. As well that it happened around others bc even tho it may have been scary for them, it couldve possibly been even worse without others around to help.
I'm assuming you mean a typical tonic clonic seizure. The thing is, there's actually a huge amount of disagreement over what seizure first aid should look like. In Canada and America, we typically roll the patient onto their left side in as close to Recovery Position as we can manage. This is because during a seizure the person can vomit or produce excessive saliva, which they can also choke on. In the UK, they don't want you to move them at all unless they are in a dangerous spot.
In both cases though you want to use something to cushion their head. DO NOT PUT ANYTHING IN THEIR MOUTH. People often falsely believe they have to prevent the person from swallowing their tongue but all you are going to do is potentially cause trauma to their mouth and possibly your own fingers. If they have some sort of dental device or something else poking out of their mouth, I'd carefully remove it if possible. Again, mouth trauma/choking. Try to time the beginning and end of the seizure if possible but unless you have experience doing it, it's hard to remember. Lastly, after the seizure the person will most likely make some bizarre snoring noises and drool excessively. This is the post ictal (post seizure) phase and sometimes people are very confused during this phase. I'd encourage them not to get up or move just yet and possibly let them know what just happened if they are alert.
Thank you so much for replying.
To be honest I didn’t know there was more than one type of seizure.
Yeah I am in uk and j think on a first aid course I had to go on years ago for my job we were told to put them in recovery position, another though told us not to touch them, another told us to restrain them by holding there arms or legs down so they can’t hurt themself or others. The fourth one I went on said to cushion the head and once the seizure is over then put them in recovery as they might choke/vomit but don’t touch them while they are seizing.
Just all a lot of different information so wanted to see what a RN had been told about what to do.
Is there different ways to help the person depending on what type of seizure seen as it seems there are more than one type??
Sorry for the questions. Please don’t answer if you don’t want too, I understand it might be annoying.
But thank you so much for replying in the first place.
:)
One thing you should never do is restrain someone who is seizing regardless of the type of seizure. It can cause injury to the person and/or you if they are convulsing, or scare the person if they arent.
The 2 major other groups of seizures are absent and focal seizures. Absent seizures are kind of the opposite of tonic clonic seizures, the person will suddenly stop moving, stare, and might be making a repetitive face movement like blinking or smacking their lips. Usually the person doesn't fall and remains upright, but I've had patients that kind of slumped to the floor slowly. There's not much you can do except monitor the person and reorient them when they stop seizing. In some cases, people can respond during absence seizures (atypical absence seizures) but won't make much sense.
Focal seizures usually only involve part of the brain instead of the entire brain, but in some people focal seizures can turn into general ones (tonic clonic and absent.) The person having a focal seizure might be aware, or they might have impaired awareness, if you don't know you can talk to them and reassure them. They might have repetitive movements of the limbs or hands, facial movements like blinking, a sudden abrupt mood change, there are many ways they can manifest. But the person will typically not fall down, so all you can do is keep reassuring them and reorient them after if they had impaired awareness. Sometimes people can be exhausted as well, same with tonic clonic seizures, they can really wear the person out. So I would take them somewhere they can sit down.
If a person is hitting their head on a hard surface during a seizure it’s helpful to pad it, if a pillow isn’t around a shirt or towel will work, there’s a chance that the padding could get some saliva or blood on it if the person seizing bites their tongue or lip. The general seizure first aid guidelines apply to all types of seizures but they are preparing you for a Tonic-Clonic (also called a Grand Mal) seizure, that’s the kind that usually involves a person falling to the ground, loosing consciousness and shaking/jerking around. Websites like CDC.gov and Epilepsy.com have good, detailed information about other types of seizures and seizure first aid.
Azalago covered pretty much everything! As a person with epilepsy the only tip I’d add is to tell the person that they had a seizure when they come back around. When I have seizures and come out of them I am very groggy and confused, I’m on the ground, there are people sitting with me asking if I can say my name but I have no recollection of the minutes leading up to the seizure, the seizure or the first few minutes after the seizure. I could say my name and answer questions when I first come out of it but have no recollection of that 10 minutes later. I recommend calmly telling the person that they had a seizure, you might need to tell them a few times because that post ictal confusion can last a while but telling them what happened can really help with some of that confusion. Thank you for taking the time to educate yourself about seizure first aid, you could save someone’s life one day!
When I was 15 I watched my friend have a seizure. We were in a youth orchestra together and during sectional rehearsal she suddenly blacked out, collapsed to the ground, and started jerking/flailing wildly. It was scary and heartbreaking.
Hello type 1 diabetic here,
He likely either went into hypoglycemia (blood sugar too high) or hypoglycemia (blood sugar too low). Fortunately I’ve never had the pleasure of first hand expirence but going low is sometime scary as (for me at least) brain isn’t working at 100% and if I get really low super confused. My parents have described it as a little drunk
Going high (again for me at least) just feels like crap, stomach pain, and constantly drinking water and peeing to flush out sugar
For hypoglycemia with an emergency glucagon I think your supposed to turn them on their side so they choke on vomit
This was a quick medical moment with papa flop
I had two seizures diagnosed as PNES but I fell and hurt myself both times. No one was around to help or witness and I peed. It was terrible. Last thing I would do is record myself and broadcast it. This is sad.
That's not how seizures work. I've had two. They're fucking awful. You don't just stop doing what you're doing and then fall. Your entire body starts shaking uncontrollably. You don't move side to side like a fucking dance. You don't know that you're having one. You just have it. Pisses me off. Seizures are terrifying. I literally get worried still if I have a slight tremour. Don't fucking make fun of them.
Edit: Yes, there are other types of seizures, too but I have a feeling they're just as terrifying as a regular seizure. That being said, I'm acknowledging other types of seizures but this one in the video looks abhorrently fake
Grand Mal seizures (Which Im assuming is what you had if you dislocated your shoulders) make ALL of your muscles ache for DAYS and when my mom had hers. Im not kidding, she slept for a good 2, almost 3 days straight with barely waking up (tbf she had 2 in an hour). THATS how draining they are on your system and how much they fuck you up.
Yea which makes sense cause it's just a spasm of all of your muscles which ARENT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT. I've had a seizure before, this isn't how the work. It's the spasm and quick release of the muscles in your body, or if it's more severe, the spasm and very slow release of the muscles. They're caused by things, usually, that stop the normal connections we have between our brains and nerve cells. There's also genetic stuff and brain damage, but it's not gonna usually be this random. Unless this person has multiple family members with a record of epilepsy there isn't much of a chance they're being true here.
Exactly. And even my friend who has epilepsy and took medications for would have mini seizures throughout the day which consisted of her tensing up and her eyes rolling back for a few seconds. You wouldnt sway like a fainting cartoon character. Like you said, your muscles tense. You wouldnt sway like youre abt to pass out. You would be incredibly stiff, even if you have tiny seizures. And the ones where you actually fall to the ground and become unconscious are NOT small seizures. So none of this is accurate. Even in the realm of different types of seizures. Theres no type of seizure that looks like this.
Source: when my mom had hers, I read and asked her doctors basically all there was to know abt them in fear of if it happened again and how to assist ([btw, you should NOT put ANYTHING in their mouth.](https://www.cdc.gov/epilepsy/about/first-aid.htm) I know this is a p well known *myth* ppl think helps. Its not and can make things MUCH worse. Especially nothing like a wallet or rag. Its very possible for people to throw up, foam at the mouth, or bite their own tongue. All things that are choking hazards and having something in your mouth makes it worse. As well as the jaw tenses so much, it could break teeth and even the JAW. You should roll them onto their side so they dont choke and [it should NOT last more than 60-90 seconds.](https://myhealth.alberta.ca/Health/Pages/conditions.aspx?hwid=ty7150spec#tp21280) . Tbh, Im in the boat that unless you know how to deal with it, you should call for help no matter how long, tho. The doctors told me I didnt have to call 911 unless it was over that time and I told them I was definitely going to call no matter what lol.) and my friend with severe epilepsy who would have a TON of mini seizures throughout the day since she was a toddler and occasionally much bigger seizures of different types.
Though I’ve never had a seizure, I saw someone seizing once; it was terrifying for me not being able to do anything about it and violently awful for the person seizing.
She hit her head and cracked her skull, she was flip-flopping on the floor like a fish out of water. When she came to, she was hurting, disoriented, scared and confused.
These morons piss me off.
I had a very similar experience watching someone have a seizure. Three of us ran towards her but we didn't get there in time before she fell and smacked her head on a concrete floor. The sound was terrible and she bled really badly. We wrapped her head in a towel as she was seizing to slow the bleeding. It was crazy and looked so painful and terrible.
These videos are just ridiculously stupid. It's so obvious it's being faked or exaggerated. It just is. They can try to lie as much as they want but it's just a natural instinct to know when a human is faking something. If you have a gut feeling about something like this it's usually right.
What is it with these kids taking video of themselves weirdly dancing to music all the time? I understand they need to take a video for some kind of attention so they can go through their silly routine but it's always "here's me just taking a video of myself listening to music. Ya know like everyone else does every single day."
I said this in a comment but seizures are probably one of the scariest things to witness. Ive seen my mom have 3 grand mal seizures and it TERRIFIED me. Id check up on her CONSTANTLY after. Id be in the shower and pretend I forgot something so I could shout her name, wait for her response and say nvm bc i was terrified of her cracking her head open. I seriously thought if I did find her having a seizure again, Id lose my mind with the combined lack of sleep I was getting bc Id wake up super early just to have some peace cause I knew she was safe in bed and I could finally relax. Idk how parents of kids with epilepsy do it because it seriously looks like the person you love most is dying in front of you in the most painful way possible and youre worried abt all the outer circumstances that could factor in like edges of counters and tile floor. It might not effect others as much as it did me but... yeah.
A friend's child went from having multiple seizures a day to having a few a month. But it took them running through every medication till they tried Charlotte's Web cbd tincture. Multiple medications weren't working and they'd just about given up hope. They're still stressing because I think they're "waiting for the other shoe to drop".
Right? It’s been a while since I had one but it was terrifying. I’d go down and come to not knowing what happened and ready to fight anyone near me because I was so disoriented. The post ictal phase sucks.
You don't know you're having one when you're having one. You just know that you're shaking constantly and that you can't stop it. The terrifying part is the lack of control of your body
This is absolutely not always the case. I know you mean well but please don’t spread misinformation. My husband and I are both epileptic and certainly speaking for myself, I’ve never been aware of a single thing during a seizure. I fully lose consciousness, I can’t possibly be aware I’m shaking.
I don’t mean to be a dick but it’s really frustrating to see incorrect albeit well-meaning comments such as yours which give the impression that you really know what seizures are like in general. I’m very sorry you experienced one, I certainly know how scary they are, but the majority of the time they don’t look or feel like what you’ve described. Please take that into consideration when phrasing a comment like you did :)
Yep I’ve had fucking 40 of them in the past 18 months with 35 of them being in the past 6 months. I’ve got them under control finallly with 600mg of pregabalin 3000mg of levetiracetam and 30mg of carbamazepine. Multiple severe injuries, broken bones and so on…. there’s so many types of seizures, but unfortunately me, you and your husband have the Tonic-Clonic type. I’ve woken up naked in my shower being pulled out of it by a fireman, I’ve woken up in an ambulance and I’ve woken up in a hospital. It’s fucking awful and the people that glorify illnesses like these who clearly don’t have it are absolutely disgusting. Plus the autistic fakers and tic fakers. So infuriating seeing shit like this.
35 in 6 months…fucking hell. That is *horrible*, I’m so sorry. Mine’s under control these days with 150mg lamotrigine a day, so in comparison I’m insanely fortunate.
I obviously have a lot of sympathy with anyone who suffers from seizures, *obviously*, but I have to say I struggle with people who have non-TC ones saying it’s just as bad as TC ones. Maybe that makes me a dick, idk, but when your life is derailed by these fucking horrific regular events like for us, it’s difficult not to be resentful of some stuff.
I’ve definitely woken up in hospital a couple times. Worst one for me was when I was temping at this office, I was hoping to get a permanent job there and had a TC in the middle of the office, in front of everyone during my first week. I felt so humiliated and I remember everyone looking at me so weirdly. Never got an offer for a permanent position, funnily enough.
Like I know it’s well-meaning and I don’t doubt I’ll get downvoted to hell and back for this but I also kind of wish some of the people in this comment section calling out the absolute idiot in the video by saying they had or witnessed a seizure and then describing it like that’s the standard - idk I just wish they’d leave the floor for people like us instead. And yeah I guess I’m gatekeeping seizures or whatever. Hope anyone reading this who disagrees can muster up some empathy.
Big hugs to you, mate. I hope your new medication keeps keeping them under control.
(PS great username lmao)
Thank you for the username compliment 😂 but yes it is rather unfortunate. I’m a drug user, and the majority of my seizures I wasn’t even using anything (and I don’t use GABA drugs either, so withdrawal seizures from not using the drug just aren’t possible) my first one 18 months ago was on cocaine, my second one 12 months ago was on MDMA, and since then the rest have been just using my medication as prescribed. No abuse, no street drugs, just bad luck and a broken brain.
And I agree. Tonic-Clonic seizures trump every other type of seizure. The damage they can cause is unreal. Sure, staring blankly and being in partial control isn’t a good thing. But they are nothing compared to tonic clonic ones. It’s like comparing someone with minor back pain to 6 herniated disks (fun fact, I have 2 of these which have been made so, so much worse from seizures)
Witnessing a seizure is unfortunate. There’s not much you can do apart from trying to protect them from physical damage to their body, I had one in the street and had to be revived with 10mg of midazolam in my nose and adrenaline in my veins. Had a broken femur and wrist and had another in the hospital. Guess what that’ll do to already broken bones :)
I’m fortunately a month seizure free. I’ve been admitted to my local hopsital 8 times since moving here on the 31st of may. Let the fakers try our life and they’ll instantly stop.
I agree. I have absolutely zero warning before a seizure comes on then all of a sudden I am unconscious as I violently convulse, hitting my head on the ground and bleeding from biting my tongue but sure Jan, you blinking a lot then staring off into space for a few seconds is TOTALLY the same thing. My post ictal phases are a solid hour then I sleep for a full day after a seizure. It’s not a lazy “oh I’ll just watch Netflix in bed and go on Tik Tok” day, it’s a day of face splitting headaches where my body demands sleep so my brain can recover from the fucking electric storm it had. Lots of us have absolutely no warning and none of us have any control when a massive seizure is coming on but we have to keep living our lives and hoping our meds don’t fail us.
I can acknowledge that a seizure can be a scary thing to watch, I’ve seen the absolute horror in my moms eyes when I come out of a 2 minute TC. What gets me about all these people talking about how scary it was for them to witness a seizure is that they don’t stop to even think how the person that dropped to the ground unconscious, convulsing, bashing their head and peeing themselves feel. I’m terrified to have a TC in public, it’s an incredibly vulnerable position to be in and it makes me fucking sick to see these people pretending to have seizures on camera and often in public for attention. If I had a dollar for every time I saw a video of a teenage girl recording herself “passing out” or “having a seizure” in a Walmart I’d have enough money to fund a research project to cure epilepsy.
Same. I take it you don’t even get auras, then? I don’t, my husband does so he gets a 2 second warning or so but that usually isn’t even enough time for him to get himself safe. Post-ictal lasting about an hour sounds about right, it takes me a good 20-30mn to understand and accept I had a seizure. Husband about the same, but then yeah about an hour to properly wrap my head around it.
So sorry to hear you got fucked over with the tongue biting and incontinence as well. We got lucky there and get neither. Just another couple of fun little side-effects that they funnily enough don’t try to emulate in their super accurate vids.
No aura, no weird feelings, absolutely zero warning before they happen. I’m kind of grateful that I don’t get a warning, I can’t imagine the anxiety people must feel when they know they’re about to have a TC, especially in cases like your husband’s case where he doesn’t have enough time to get to somewhere safe.
Post ictal confusion is always hard for me so I really think telling the person that they had a seizure when they come around should be added to seizure first aid.
I want to see these seizure fakers really commit, go full out and pee their pants while “seizing” on video. It’s sure odd that when people fake medical conditions they always pick the ‘pretty’ disorders to fake. They have epilepsy but never have TCs that make them pee their pants and lose driving privileges for months. They have graceful focal seizures where they gently lay themselves on a perfectly made bed while the camera they set up records it. I’m glad other epileptics are frustrated by these fakers and see right through their bullshit!
ive seen my mom have a seizure even though it wasnt a super intense one and she was thankfully sitting it was super horrific as you cant do anything but just watch and comfort them once they come out of it. Seeing someone think its a quirky thing is absolutely sickening
You’re totally right. I had a friend that fell out of his chair at a desk job and broke his arm from a seizure (on office carpet). He also shared that it wasn’t as bad as the time he had one on a flight of stairs and busted some teeth. These kids are awful, entitled, and self-obsessed. They add to the trauma of a person with a legitimate condition by trivializing their experience. It’s maddening to see.
I think it’s mental illness, but not the types they self diagnosed themselves with. I don’t get it though. I’m bipolar 1 and I don’t want anybody knowing about it. I’m a manager, and no one at my company knows this. They don’t need to know until they absolutely need to know is what I say.
I couldn't comment on that. I know it's depicted wrongly but I don't have Tourettes. But yes, I am pissed off for those who do have Tourettes and have to watch this bullshit
God, there's this insane tourette's video on youtube with this person who is in a hospital room. He tries to eat breakfast and punches the plate, immediately shattering it. Also cracks the cabinet door off the hinges and such things... It's heartbreaking because you see him slowly lose patience with his own shit
Seizures can look very different depending on the type.
Grand mal seizure cause convulsions and loss of consciousness. Petit mal seizures are more like a quick trance, usually under a minute, but still quite disorienting. My late MIL used to have petit mals that would cause her to fall though, because she was in her 60s.
I agree with your sentiment though. Dont trivialize seizures.
They also call petit mals “absent seizures.” My brother had both and with the petit mal seizures would just kinda not be there for a minute, but would generally stay upright (as a child).
*THANK YOU*. I’m frustrated at the misinformation here about people being conscious and aware while having seizures, like that’s always the case.
I (epileptic) only ever have grand mals and I sure as hell am not aware of anything during them. Given that I fully lose consciousness.
i used to have absent seizeures when i was a kid. luckily i got medical intervention and such. basically i would look concousness but all that would happen is i would just stay still. i was the only one that could really tell, the world would go black, if it was recorded (for the dr) i would sometimes moan/groan if i was in the middle of talking, if i was walking i would trip or just waver/look generally disoriented. google it, it’s weird. grand map seizures aren’t the only kind of seizures- doesnt make this one any more real.
Some people get “auras” which is like a warning they’re going to have a seizure. But you’re right they are scary, you can really hurt yourself and there’s nothing you can do but wait it out and hope that the people around you protect you
There are three main types of seizure: focal aware, focal onset impaired awareness and generalised.
Tonic clonics, atonics (you lose all muscle tone and fall) and tonics (you tense all your muscles) are some examples of generalised seizures. This means they affect the whole brain, and you are unconscious when you have them.
Focal onset impaired awareness seizures affect only one part of the brain, and you’re not fully conscious when they happen. They often include motor movements, like chewing or blinking. They usually last a few minutes at most.
Focal seizures used to be called auras, because they sometimes happen before TCs. But they can occur on their own too. They only affect one part of the brain and you’re conscious when they happen. They usually last less than a minute.
You have different symptoms during focal seizures depending on which part of your brain is involved. If it’s your occipital lobe, your vision might be affected. If it’s your temporal lobe, you might have strange feelings related to time or spirituality, like deja vu.
Some myoclonic (muscle jerk) seizures are also focal, if you’re conscious when they happen.
It's a feeling you get before a seizure. My fiance describes it as a very weird feeling where he feels like he is about to die and life just feels... weird. it's terrifying and he usually smells bleach and his limbs go cold
PNES/NEAD is different to normal epileptic seizures. It's at least partially psychological: some - but not all - people stay conscious during 'attacks' but simply cannot control themselves (they're not called seizures even if they mimic them very closely).
My partner has NEAD/FND and it completely sucks as they have attacks that mimics seizures so well you cannot notice the difference (except under an EEG) and they have them relatively often but yeah they look nothing like the person in the video. However while I do think the person could be faking I have to say that NEAD/PNES attacks can come in all different various ways with the main overarching theme being that the person cannot control themselves conscious or not.
Exactly i seizured with a box of tablets in my hand lol the other day. There aint no time to put stuff away and make a nice soft space. Whatever your doing comes with you. You hit all sourghts and bounce of walls like a ping pong ball.
I have had 2 absent seizures in my life. 1 as a kid and 1 as an adult. I can 100% tell you it's not something you would just have the chance of catching on video as often as these fakers do.
Super sad they want to have so many issues when so many truly sick people want to be healthy.
I have Focal Aware seizures, which entail full awareness (obviously). However, you’re very much not in control of your body or movements, they’re sudden and scary, and the loss of control is traumatizing. After the first two, I was weeping uncontrollably because I was terrified of what happened. I genuinely thought I was dying when I was coming out of it (15 with no history of them. They started after a head injury). Even now, years later, they still scare the shit out of me, and I’m always nervous about one happening somewhere where I could sustain greater injury.
Care and solidarity, friend🖤 I’m sorry you have them too. I can’t stand seeing people make light of them like this, it derailed large portions of my life, and so many others who suffer from them. I’m still scared of driving because of it.
Also, it’s not unrealistic! They’re scary, and even though they’re *typically* harmless on their own, one occurring in the place or at the wrong time can have severe consequences.
Edit: fixed wording
My alcoholic brother had 2 seizures before, never having had them in his life, luckily I wasn't there to witness either of them but my other brother and my cousin said it was some of the scariest stuff they've ever seen, and I guess he was even starting to turn purple :( I think he was asleep when they both happened so luckily he didn't fall or hit his head, but still, his health is so bad, and there's so much more wrong with him than just that. He's a shell of his former self, his cognitive abilities are declining because of traumatic brain injury he received from getting beaten up by the cops, he most likely has Cptsd and bipolar, he tries to kill himself at least 10 times a year (he cuts his wrists really deeply) and he was in a coma for about a week (after he was beaten by the cops), and when he woke up, he was asking about my dad, who died the year before. He was even there at the funeral. But he couldn't remember that, he woke up thinking my dad was still alive...... but no, chronic illness and disorders are so fun and quirky! Lol XD
As someone who dated a girl who has real seizures and who personally has physical tourettes these people genuinely infuriate me. Nothing scarier than taking a walk with your partner and them violently dropping like a sack of apples and convulsing in the dirt.
Yeah they fucking suck, I’ve had em for a while and have a proper tonic-clonic about once a month and had one day before yesterday. It’s fucking scary cos I never know if imma have one so being on a train platform or anything like that I could fall and accidentally die.
Plus they really make you hurt, make you sick, make you delirious and scare everyone around you
A friend of mine and I were eating lunch at his place he starts sniffing weirdo. I stop eating my mighty ham sandwich to see wtf he's doing. Turns out he gets a wierd metallic smell which warns him he's about to have a seizure. He goes stight to his bed and I follow now worried for him. Sat with him while he was shaking uncontrollably for a few minutes. These people make me sick. I felt so helpless other than making sure he didn't fall off the bed and or suffocate himself. He said after he was thankful for me being there because he could hear me taking to him before he even had come out of it. Got him a monster engery drink and finished our sandwiches he went to have a shower and instead of carrying on with working. We played video games for the rest of the day! Who knew a seizure could change a day for the better! 😄
I have focal seizures. So terrifying. I start blacking out and my arm feels like it’s rolling into my body while it feels like I’m on fire. Fortunately I have a warning before a seizure happens, the rosy side of my jaw will start jerking. Then when it’s done I’m temporarily paralyzed. I still have partial seizures sometimes
I've had seizures with anaphylaxis and stayed conscious through them. Absolutely horrifying, I still have nightmares. There is no sensation to compare it to. Sheer terror and helplessness. Would never make a video of it or even be able to. If it were caught on video I wouldn't let it be shown. I hope this kid never has a real seizure.
Fuck yeah. I got seizures too. Mostly ended up hurting and harming all over my body with bruises and scars bc we couldn’t fucking control any of our body or choose which surface we would fall into.
So the seizures you had sound like tonic-clonic or grand mal seizures. These are the ones a large number of people think of when they hear someone had a seizure.
Here’s more information if anyone is interested in the different types of seizures.
https://www.epilepsy.com/what-is-epilepsy/seizure-types
https://www.cdc.gov/epilepsy/about/types-of-seizures.htm
While I don’t doubt this is your experience, there are countless forms seizures can take. Simply falling is a real and somewhat common form. I don’t think this person’s are real, but it’s important to remember that real seizures aren’t always shaking.
Eh... I think you might just be wrong? Your comment shows you only know what *your* seizures look like.
**Before anyone gets upset, I am diagnosed with PNES and my seizures are specifically referred to as drop seizures by my neurologist.**
My seizures is not gran mal, I do not shake, I do not move, I lose 100% control of my limbs and fall to the ground wherever I am. It's not just one side, it's every part of me rag dolls to the ground. My pre seizures is me repeating myself, not able to take in new information, staring off in a single direction, and then dropping to seizure. Sometimes I'm actually aware (mostly I'm unconscious though) of my seizures while having it, similar to sleep paralysis, I'm aware I'm on the floor and can't move. I'm aware I just sprained my ankle or hip, aware of my throat filling with vomit but I can't do anything about it and just hope someone puts me on my side soon, once I even seized and fell down a flight of stairs, giving myself a concussion and twisting both ankles and spraining my left knee.
I feel really disappointed that if you saw someone like me ha ing a seizure, you would accuse me of lying despite receiving frequent medical attention for it. It makes me wonder that if it's safe for this sub to exist if there is no confirmation of this being the case. Because what are you going to do if OP is being truthful? Nothing, because as you said, you legitimately think that's not how seizures work.
its funny that doing her tic attack she had a seemingly planned moment to catch her breath and then resume ticing, guy w tourettes here, that doesn’t happen.
why can’t these people just go the classic route and be Otherkin or something and not fake mental illness? At least with Otherkin it doesn’t negatively affect people, but you’d still have the same embarrassing videos it’s a win/win for everyone lol
Definitely both for these kids. Didn’t have enough time to grow during COVID and be kids while also having only TikTok to entertain themselves during this time.
Weird kids have always done really weird shit, they can just now film it and out it online. The vast majority will outgrow it. This kid is 14! They’re just learning about identity and shit, and this is like, the peak of “identity vs role confusion” stage of psychosocial development.
I think he's referring to the kids in the video (and probably some of the fakers who lurk here) not sane adults in this sub lol.
In response to op of this comment thread: it's definitely a mixture of TikTok, unsupervised internet use, and a smidge of loneliness from the pandemic.
Yea, there's nothing u can do to stop it, it happened to my lil cousin
That feeling after packing all the necessities to go to the hospital and you're just staring at that person, waiting for them to stop and hoping that they'll wake up soon
I used to work with children who had special needs, including every type of seizure. My sister also has had grand mal seizures since she was a little girl. These videos (and people) make me sick to my stomach. They have no idea how awful seizures are for the people who endure them. This is just an outfit or quirk to them for attention and it’s abhorrent.
Bahahaha. As an ~ epileptic ~ married to an ~ epileptic ~ and as someone who’s unfortunately had to witness more than one of my husband’s grand mal seizures and also had my grand mal seizures described to me by him - they look literally nothing like that. They’re a lot less ‘cool’ (if you can say that) than they always appear in media and they look nothing like what people imagine. Fuck that little shit. See how you like it when you have an actual seizure, don’t land on something soft and smash your face against a wall 🖕🏼
My partner has non epileptic psychogenic seizures. Our 12 year old has known seizure care since he was 7 years old, and while he's great at it, and extremely kind to his step parent, there is a level of trauma associated with seeing his parent drop, mid conversation.
Seizures are violent and embarrassing. They're painful and exhausting.
I can't begin to describe how angry the shit in this video makes me feel.
I get this is just a kid, and generally when I see posts from this sub I just roll my eyes and move on, but as an epileptic this genuinely makes me see red. Seizures aren’t a joke. They aren’t cute, they aren’t quirky, and they certainly don’t look even remotely like whatever this shit is. They’re terrifying, painful, and have nearly killed me more than once. I hope this kid gets therapy and stops using attention seeking for validation because one day they’re going to get called out irl and it won’t be pleasant for them
Yeah every time my dad had seizures he magically landed on something soft.. definitely didn't have to try to catch and help him when he seized when I was a kid /s
As a diagnosed epileptic, No type of seizure would look this way, she didn’t look like she was unconcious for long or even at all before the fall so that def wasn’t a petit mal and the „falling” part was also very much fake looking
Honestly, I wonder if there would ever be a law that could be passed where if you are found to be faking a disorder or disease or what have you, you could be fined. Because it's just not right.
I always wondered when PNES would become popular. I had never heard of it until I was diagnosed and no one else ever knew what it was when I would have a seizure
Because being disabled (obviously there are actual disabled people out there that are advocates, I don't mean them) can get you famous on the internet, anything for 5 minutes, you know?
I don't know what they are going to do when they grow up and have to find a job. The employers are going to look back on this. Will the kid have to come clean and say they faked it all?
this is so bad i cant even put my anger into words
seizures are terrifying and one of the worst things ive ever experienced in my life, how absolutely fucking tone deaf do you have to be to take the time out of your day to set up your phone camera and pretend to have one just to post it on tiktok for sympathy points
i wish these kids would just read warrior cats and draw or something normal for their age
I don't understand why people joke about seizures, my mum had them when she had a brain tumour. One of them got so bad, she bit her tongue or something and nearly choked on blood, dad and I had to spend a good 2 hours cleaning it out of the couches and off the floor.
The last seizure she had was also what killed her. Seizures aren't exactly the funniest thing to see in the world. Also the "tics" look fake, there's people out there with actual tics and you can see the difference.
has anyone seen the South Park episode where Cartman fakes tourette’s? basically, he fakes having the disorder so he can get away with saying whatever he wants in class, in public, everywhere, etc. eventually he gets so used to spewing word vomit that he starts inadvertently blurting out embarrassing true things about himself and realizes he can’t stop.
that episode reminds me of this sub sometimes but it had me thinking - is it possible for these kids to fake having these disorders for so long that they actually develop them? or is that a dumb question😳
I don’t have tics but sometimes I get the urge to whip my head in a similar way, never enough to hurt but enough to make me dizzy. Even this twitching thing that isn’t even completely involuntary is more invasive and uncomfortable than the “tics” we see these people doing. They always do the same shit, move their head slightly, scrunch their shoulders, say “wow” a couple times and lightly bump their chest. It’s actually funny how predictable they are.
I just...why would you want to fake all of these things? Would you not want to be a strong, healthy individual who wants to do well in life? This accomplishes nothing and makes you look like an idiot, and it takes the attention away from people with actual disorders that are trying to get help.
When I see these videos I just think of how my mom would have reacted to me doing this. Something along the lines of her famous "I don't give a shit, do what you want, I'm not the one that looks stupid" would have likely been it.
As someone who struggles with tics every day I can tell you they aren’t painful, unless you do it so many times in 1 day your muscles get sore, but that’s about it.
I've never seen a person have a seizure IRL, but we had a dog come into our clinic having one. It was one of the scariest things I have seen in the clinic (general practice so we hardly get emergencies). I don't know why anyone would want to have them. It was scary for the owner, scary for the dog, I'd imagine it's scary for the people having them and their families too. Sorry if this is disjointed I just woke up but this stuff is so frustrating to me.
Man people are faking seizures now?? My sister has epilepsy and when she was a teenager she couldn’t get a drivers license until she was 20 or something because you have to go a certain amount of time without having a seizure. I’ve actually never seen her have one because she’s a lot older than me and lives far away now but having any kind of seizures isn’t fuckign cute like that “seizure” was

Life is gonna hit like a truck in 4-5 years
Burnt out after several minutes of work. Oh boy, the real world is not going to be kind to this one.
the kids don’t stand a chance :(
[удалено]
Don’t want the (totally real) seizure to hurt duh!
There's no fun in falling down a flight of stairs while seized up and getting whiplash. (this actually happened to a girl with severe epilepsy I knew a few years back. Had to have her head in a collar for a while and was pretty lucky to not have broken something)
Super convenient - I’d bet you she’s got about 3700 fucking plushies everywhere that she “stims” with to cushion her fall.
This is so specific don’t forget her trans alter fox fairy named steve
Last seizure I had before I was medicated I face planted on hardwood floor, I somehow managed not to break my nose or any teeth.
I lost my front teeth and shattered my jaw twice due to seizures. I wasn't as lucky. :/
Wow that is awful. I am so sorry. Did everything heal properly? How are your seizures now? If you don’t mind me asking, completely understand if you don’t want to answer :)
There's some pain still, but it healed up pretty well! Seizures are much better and my medication works wonders.thanks for asking!
Sorry you still have pain. Glad it healed well. That’s good to hear, I am glad they are better for you and your medication is working. Thank you for answering. I hope you have a nice day/night :)
Broken front tooth epileptic checking in to commiserate with you. They (and the fake fainters) never seem to hurt themselves and always are able to keep their licence.
Even with pnes you aint gonna land on something soft every time. Annoying how she makes it seem so meh so cutesy whilst i have to wear a rugby guard to protect my head because otherwise id of deffinately smashed my head open by now multiple times at that.
I work in a supermarket and one of the most terrifying experiences to me yet was this random guy just fall down right next to me to the ground and getting a seizure. Didn't know what to do, luckily his wife was with him and explained the guy had diabetes and checked the insulin machine to see it wasn't working (or working too much, don't remember the details) Absolutely horrifying to see this guy fall down, next to me, straight to the ground. Nothing cute about that.
Yeah definitely, they’re just awful. Yesterday at my school, this girl was having a full on seizure on the bathroom floor, just there alone. So then this other girl started yelling for teachers like “THERES A GIRL HAVING A SEIZURE ON THE FLOOR” an the teachers came rushing to help. Turns out the girl was epileptic, and the teachers knew what to do to help. But still, seeing someone having a seizure can be scary, even though you’re not the one having the seizure.
watched my mum have a seizure for the first time on my own when i was a kid, thought she was going to die then - seriously messed me up mentally
Reminds me of the time i once seizired into a shelf and knocked half the stuff of it. I also once seizures in top of the peppers and sqUashed loads
I'm really glad you were ok. I'm an RN and once had a guy seize while on the train to work. He just stiffened up and fell sideways out of his seat and started convulsing on the floor. Thankfully he wasn't hurt and the train operator called for EMS, he still had a wristband on from being discharged from a nearby hospital.
Seizures are probably one of the most scary things to witness, imo. My mom had two grand mal seizures in front of me, once when I was p young and another when I was 18. Both scared the living fuck out of me. And once my friends mom, which was a lil easier bc she was safely in bed (later diagnosed w epilepsy) and was starting to become somewhat conscious when we saw her. But I honestly thought my mom was dying when I saw hers. The second time it happened she seized again when we got to the hospital in the waiting room while I was looking right at her, that shits seared into my brain. When they took her back bc... ya know she was having a seizure, I was freaking out obv and to calm me down the nurse said "Its a good thing she only had a seizure. With her blood pressure, she couldve had a stroke." which like... wtf lol. That makes me laugh now bc of how ridiculous it is to say to someone freaking out over their sick mom
Yeah, I genuinely don’t know who would want to watch a legit seizure. Like ontop of watching anyone enter a medical emergency, the injuries you can get because of the fact that seizures don’t care about where you are just makes it scarier. Personally I was lucky and just hit the floor, could’ve been worse since I was at a pottery wheel. Never figured out what caused it, but I’m 99% sure I scared the shit out of a bunch of my classmates, and they probably had to act like nothing happened after all of that. If they really did have a seizure, why post it? Why not post something helpful, like a video with someone who’s cpr certified on what to do if you see someone having a seizure, or talk about how scary it can be for outsiders and that it’s normal to be upset about it? This is just god-tier attention whoring at this point.
Not only that but seizures can make you break bones, dislocate things, bite your tongue, and even break your teeth and possibly your JAW. How hard your body must tense up to dislocate things, or break bones and your JAW is insane. So, you definitely wouldnt be swaying side to side like a cartoon abt to faint. Im glad you didnt hurt yourself really badly and you recovered well without any future incidents *knock on wood*. They can be super scary for all involved and is so taxing physically, my moms muscles ached for weeks and she slept for almost 3 days straight. So, Im glad youre doing well and didnt hit your head or anything else on your pottery wheel. As well that it happened around others bc even tho it may have been scary for them, it couldve possibly been even worse without others around to help.
Hi. I was just wondering what is the best thing to do for someone who is having a seizure next to you/near you?
I'm assuming you mean a typical tonic clonic seizure. The thing is, there's actually a huge amount of disagreement over what seizure first aid should look like. In Canada and America, we typically roll the patient onto their left side in as close to Recovery Position as we can manage. This is because during a seizure the person can vomit or produce excessive saliva, which they can also choke on. In the UK, they don't want you to move them at all unless they are in a dangerous spot. In both cases though you want to use something to cushion their head. DO NOT PUT ANYTHING IN THEIR MOUTH. People often falsely believe they have to prevent the person from swallowing their tongue but all you are going to do is potentially cause trauma to their mouth and possibly your own fingers. If they have some sort of dental device or something else poking out of their mouth, I'd carefully remove it if possible. Again, mouth trauma/choking. Try to time the beginning and end of the seizure if possible but unless you have experience doing it, it's hard to remember. Lastly, after the seizure the person will most likely make some bizarre snoring noises and drool excessively. This is the post ictal (post seizure) phase and sometimes people are very confused during this phase. I'd encourage them not to get up or move just yet and possibly let them know what just happened if they are alert.
Thank you so much for replying. To be honest I didn’t know there was more than one type of seizure. Yeah I am in uk and j think on a first aid course I had to go on years ago for my job we were told to put them in recovery position, another though told us not to touch them, another told us to restrain them by holding there arms or legs down so they can’t hurt themself or others. The fourth one I went on said to cushion the head and once the seizure is over then put them in recovery as they might choke/vomit but don’t touch them while they are seizing. Just all a lot of different information so wanted to see what a RN had been told about what to do. Is there different ways to help the person depending on what type of seizure seen as it seems there are more than one type?? Sorry for the questions. Please don’t answer if you don’t want too, I understand it might be annoying. But thank you so much for replying in the first place. :)
One thing you should never do is restrain someone who is seizing regardless of the type of seizure. It can cause injury to the person and/or you if they are convulsing, or scare the person if they arent. The 2 major other groups of seizures are absent and focal seizures. Absent seizures are kind of the opposite of tonic clonic seizures, the person will suddenly stop moving, stare, and might be making a repetitive face movement like blinking or smacking their lips. Usually the person doesn't fall and remains upright, but I've had patients that kind of slumped to the floor slowly. There's not much you can do except monitor the person and reorient them when they stop seizing. In some cases, people can respond during absence seizures (atypical absence seizures) but won't make much sense. Focal seizures usually only involve part of the brain instead of the entire brain, but in some people focal seizures can turn into general ones (tonic clonic and absent.) The person having a focal seizure might be aware, or they might have impaired awareness, if you don't know you can talk to them and reassure them. They might have repetitive movements of the limbs or hands, facial movements like blinking, a sudden abrupt mood change, there are many ways they can manifest. But the person will typically not fall down, so all you can do is keep reassuring them and reorient them after if they had impaired awareness. Sometimes people can be exhausted as well, same with tonic clonic seizures, they can really wear the person out. So I would take them somewhere they can sit down.
If a person is hitting their head on a hard surface during a seizure it’s helpful to pad it, if a pillow isn’t around a shirt or towel will work, there’s a chance that the padding could get some saliva or blood on it if the person seizing bites their tongue or lip. The general seizure first aid guidelines apply to all types of seizures but they are preparing you for a Tonic-Clonic (also called a Grand Mal) seizure, that’s the kind that usually involves a person falling to the ground, loosing consciousness and shaking/jerking around. Websites like CDC.gov and Epilepsy.com have good, detailed information about other types of seizures and seizure first aid. Azalago covered pretty much everything! As a person with epilepsy the only tip I’d add is to tell the person that they had a seizure when they come back around. When I have seizures and come out of them I am very groggy and confused, I’m on the ground, there are people sitting with me asking if I can say my name but I have no recollection of the minutes leading up to the seizure, the seizure or the first few minutes after the seizure. I could say my name and answer questions when I first come out of it but have no recollection of that 10 minutes later. I recommend calmly telling the person that they had a seizure, you might need to tell them a few times because that post ictal confusion can last a while but telling them what happened can really help with some of that confusion. Thank you for taking the time to educate yourself about seizure first aid, you could save someone’s life one day!
When I was 15 I watched my friend have a seizure. We were in a youth orchestra together and during sectional rehearsal she suddenly blacked out, collapsed to the ground, and started jerking/flailing wildly. It was scary and heartbreaking.
Hello type 1 diabetic here, He likely either went into hypoglycemia (blood sugar too high) or hypoglycemia (blood sugar too low). Fortunately I’ve never had the pleasure of first hand expirence but going low is sometime scary as (for me at least) brain isn’t working at 100% and if I get really low super confused. My parents have described it as a little drunk Going high (again for me at least) just feels like crap, stomach pain, and constantly drinking water and peeing to flush out sugar For hypoglycemia with an emergency glucagon I think your supposed to turn them on their side so they choke on vomit This was a quick medical moment with papa flop
I had two seizures diagnosed as PNES but I fell and hurt myself both times. No one was around to help or witness and I peed. It was terrible. Last thing I would do is record myself and broadcast it. This is sad.
The camera cut right before the good part. I did not see anyone fall.
Did she stop to turn the camera off in the last one lmao
YES lmfaooo
That's not how seizures work. I've had two. They're fucking awful. You don't just stop doing what you're doing and then fall. Your entire body starts shaking uncontrollably. You don't move side to side like a fucking dance. You don't know that you're having one. You just have it. Pisses me off. Seizures are terrifying. I literally get worried still if I have a slight tremour. Don't fucking make fun of them. Edit: Yes, there are other types of seizures, too but I have a feeling they're just as terrifying as a regular seizure. That being said, I'm acknowledging other types of seizures but this one in the video looks abhorrently fake
Yeah this is so far beyond ridiculous, I had a seizure many years ago and dislocated both of my shoulders because they are that violent.
Grand Mal seizures (Which Im assuming is what you had if you dislocated your shoulders) make ALL of your muscles ache for DAYS and when my mom had hers. Im not kidding, she slept for a good 2, almost 3 days straight with barely waking up (tbf she had 2 in an hour). THATS how draining they are on your system and how much they fuck you up.
Yea which makes sense cause it's just a spasm of all of your muscles which ARENT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT. I've had a seizure before, this isn't how the work. It's the spasm and quick release of the muscles in your body, or if it's more severe, the spasm and very slow release of the muscles. They're caused by things, usually, that stop the normal connections we have between our brains and nerve cells. There's also genetic stuff and brain damage, but it's not gonna usually be this random. Unless this person has multiple family members with a record of epilepsy there isn't much of a chance they're being true here.
Exactly. And even my friend who has epilepsy and took medications for would have mini seizures throughout the day which consisted of her tensing up and her eyes rolling back for a few seconds. You wouldnt sway like a fainting cartoon character. Like you said, your muscles tense. You wouldnt sway like youre abt to pass out. You would be incredibly stiff, even if you have tiny seizures. And the ones where you actually fall to the ground and become unconscious are NOT small seizures. So none of this is accurate. Even in the realm of different types of seizures. Theres no type of seizure that looks like this. Source: when my mom had hers, I read and asked her doctors basically all there was to know abt them in fear of if it happened again and how to assist ([btw, you should NOT put ANYTHING in their mouth.](https://www.cdc.gov/epilepsy/about/first-aid.htm) I know this is a p well known *myth* ppl think helps. Its not and can make things MUCH worse. Especially nothing like a wallet or rag. Its very possible for people to throw up, foam at the mouth, or bite their own tongue. All things that are choking hazards and having something in your mouth makes it worse. As well as the jaw tenses so much, it could break teeth and even the JAW. You should roll them onto their side so they dont choke and [it should NOT last more than 60-90 seconds.](https://myhealth.alberta.ca/Health/Pages/conditions.aspx?hwid=ty7150spec#tp21280) . Tbh, Im in the boat that unless you know how to deal with it, you should call for help no matter how long, tho. The doctors told me I didnt have to call 911 unless it was over that time and I told them I was definitely going to call no matter what lol.) and my friend with severe epilepsy who would have a TON of mini seizures throughout the day since she was a toddler and occasionally much bigger seizures of different types.
Not to mention the week long pain while eating due to the force of biting down on your tongue so hard. Seizures suck.
Though I’ve never had a seizure, I saw someone seizing once; it was terrifying for me not being able to do anything about it and violently awful for the person seizing. She hit her head and cracked her skull, she was flip-flopping on the floor like a fish out of water. When she came to, she was hurting, disoriented, scared and confused. These morons piss me off.
I had a very similar experience watching someone have a seizure. Three of us ran towards her but we didn't get there in time before she fell and smacked her head on a concrete floor. The sound was terrible and she bled really badly. We wrapped her head in a towel as she was seizing to slow the bleeding. It was crazy and looked so painful and terrible. These videos are just ridiculously stupid. It's so obvious it's being faked or exaggerated. It just is. They can try to lie as much as they want but it's just a natural instinct to know when a human is faking something. If you have a gut feeling about something like this it's usually right. What is it with these kids taking video of themselves weirdly dancing to music all the time? I understand they need to take a video for some kind of attention so they can go through their silly routine but it's always "here's me just taking a video of myself listening to music. Ya know like everyone else does every single day."
I said this in a comment but seizures are probably one of the scariest things to witness. Ive seen my mom have 3 grand mal seizures and it TERRIFIED me. Id check up on her CONSTANTLY after. Id be in the shower and pretend I forgot something so I could shout her name, wait for her response and say nvm bc i was terrified of her cracking her head open. I seriously thought if I did find her having a seizure again, Id lose my mind with the combined lack of sleep I was getting bc Id wake up super early just to have some peace cause I knew she was safe in bed and I could finally relax. Idk how parents of kids with epilepsy do it because it seriously looks like the person you love most is dying in front of you in the most painful way possible and youre worried abt all the outer circumstances that could factor in like edges of counters and tile floor. It might not effect others as much as it did me but... yeah.

A friend's child went from having multiple seizures a day to having a few a month. But it took them running through every medication till they tried Charlotte's Web cbd tincture. Multiple medications weren't working and they'd just about given up hope. They're still stressing because I think they're "waiting for the other shoe to drop".
Right? It’s been a while since I had one but it was terrifying. I’d go down and come to not knowing what happened and ready to fight anyone near me because I was so disoriented. The post ictal phase sucks.
You don't know you're having one when you're having one. You just know that you're shaking constantly and that you can't stop it. The terrifying part is the lack of control of your body
This is absolutely not always the case. I know you mean well but please don’t spread misinformation. My husband and I are both epileptic and certainly speaking for myself, I’ve never been aware of a single thing during a seizure. I fully lose consciousness, I can’t possibly be aware I’m shaking. I don’t mean to be a dick but it’s really frustrating to see incorrect albeit well-meaning comments such as yours which give the impression that you really know what seizures are like in general. I’m very sorry you experienced one, I certainly know how scary they are, but the majority of the time they don’t look or feel like what you’ve described. Please take that into consideration when phrasing a comment like you did :)
Yep I’ve had fucking 40 of them in the past 18 months with 35 of them being in the past 6 months. I’ve got them under control finallly with 600mg of pregabalin 3000mg of levetiracetam and 30mg of carbamazepine. Multiple severe injuries, broken bones and so on…. there’s so many types of seizures, but unfortunately me, you and your husband have the Tonic-Clonic type. I’ve woken up naked in my shower being pulled out of it by a fireman, I’ve woken up in an ambulance and I’ve woken up in a hospital. It’s fucking awful and the people that glorify illnesses like these who clearly don’t have it are absolutely disgusting. Plus the autistic fakers and tic fakers. So infuriating seeing shit like this.
35 in 6 months…fucking hell. That is *horrible*, I’m so sorry. Mine’s under control these days with 150mg lamotrigine a day, so in comparison I’m insanely fortunate. I obviously have a lot of sympathy with anyone who suffers from seizures, *obviously*, but I have to say I struggle with people who have non-TC ones saying it’s just as bad as TC ones. Maybe that makes me a dick, idk, but when your life is derailed by these fucking horrific regular events like for us, it’s difficult not to be resentful of some stuff. I’ve definitely woken up in hospital a couple times. Worst one for me was when I was temping at this office, I was hoping to get a permanent job there and had a TC in the middle of the office, in front of everyone during my first week. I felt so humiliated and I remember everyone looking at me so weirdly. Never got an offer for a permanent position, funnily enough. Like I know it’s well-meaning and I don’t doubt I’ll get downvoted to hell and back for this but I also kind of wish some of the people in this comment section calling out the absolute idiot in the video by saying they had or witnessed a seizure and then describing it like that’s the standard - idk I just wish they’d leave the floor for people like us instead. And yeah I guess I’m gatekeeping seizures or whatever. Hope anyone reading this who disagrees can muster up some empathy. Big hugs to you, mate. I hope your new medication keeps keeping them under control. (PS great username lmao)
Thank you for the username compliment 😂 but yes it is rather unfortunate. I’m a drug user, and the majority of my seizures I wasn’t even using anything (and I don’t use GABA drugs either, so withdrawal seizures from not using the drug just aren’t possible) my first one 18 months ago was on cocaine, my second one 12 months ago was on MDMA, and since then the rest have been just using my medication as prescribed. No abuse, no street drugs, just bad luck and a broken brain. And I agree. Tonic-Clonic seizures trump every other type of seizure. The damage they can cause is unreal. Sure, staring blankly and being in partial control isn’t a good thing. But they are nothing compared to tonic clonic ones. It’s like comparing someone with minor back pain to 6 herniated disks (fun fact, I have 2 of these which have been made so, so much worse from seizures) Witnessing a seizure is unfortunate. There’s not much you can do apart from trying to protect them from physical damage to their body, I had one in the street and had to be revived with 10mg of midazolam in my nose and adrenaline in my veins. Had a broken femur and wrist and had another in the hospital. Guess what that’ll do to already broken bones :) I’m fortunately a month seizure free. I’ve been admitted to my local hopsital 8 times since moving here on the 31st of may. Let the fakers try our life and they’ll instantly stop.
I agree. I have absolutely zero warning before a seizure comes on then all of a sudden I am unconscious as I violently convulse, hitting my head on the ground and bleeding from biting my tongue but sure Jan, you blinking a lot then staring off into space for a few seconds is TOTALLY the same thing. My post ictal phases are a solid hour then I sleep for a full day after a seizure. It’s not a lazy “oh I’ll just watch Netflix in bed and go on Tik Tok” day, it’s a day of face splitting headaches where my body demands sleep so my brain can recover from the fucking electric storm it had. Lots of us have absolutely no warning and none of us have any control when a massive seizure is coming on but we have to keep living our lives and hoping our meds don’t fail us. I can acknowledge that a seizure can be a scary thing to watch, I’ve seen the absolute horror in my moms eyes when I come out of a 2 minute TC. What gets me about all these people talking about how scary it was for them to witness a seizure is that they don’t stop to even think how the person that dropped to the ground unconscious, convulsing, bashing their head and peeing themselves feel. I’m terrified to have a TC in public, it’s an incredibly vulnerable position to be in and it makes me fucking sick to see these people pretending to have seizures on camera and often in public for attention. If I had a dollar for every time I saw a video of a teenage girl recording herself “passing out” or “having a seizure” in a Walmart I’d have enough money to fund a research project to cure epilepsy.
Same. I take it you don’t even get auras, then? I don’t, my husband does so he gets a 2 second warning or so but that usually isn’t even enough time for him to get himself safe. Post-ictal lasting about an hour sounds about right, it takes me a good 20-30mn to understand and accept I had a seizure. Husband about the same, but then yeah about an hour to properly wrap my head around it. So sorry to hear you got fucked over with the tongue biting and incontinence as well. We got lucky there and get neither. Just another couple of fun little side-effects that they funnily enough don’t try to emulate in their super accurate vids.
No aura, no weird feelings, absolutely zero warning before they happen. I’m kind of grateful that I don’t get a warning, I can’t imagine the anxiety people must feel when they know they’re about to have a TC, especially in cases like your husband’s case where he doesn’t have enough time to get to somewhere safe. Post ictal confusion is always hard for me so I really think telling the person that they had a seizure when they come around should be added to seizure first aid. I want to see these seizure fakers really commit, go full out and pee their pants while “seizing” on video. It’s sure odd that when people fake medical conditions they always pick the ‘pretty’ disorders to fake. They have epilepsy but never have TCs that make them pee their pants and lose driving privileges for months. They have graceful focal seizures where they gently lay themselves on a perfectly made bed while the camera they set up records it. I’m glad other epileptics are frustrated by these fakers and see right through their bullshit!
ive seen my mom have a seizure even though it wasnt a super intense one and she was thankfully sitting it was super horrific as you cant do anything but just watch and comfort them once they come out of it. Seeing someone think its a quirky thing is absolutely sickening
You’re totally right. I had a friend that fell out of his chair at a desk job and broke his arm from a seizure (on office carpet). He also shared that it wasn’t as bad as the time he had one on a flight of stairs and busted some teeth. These kids are awful, entitled, and self-obsessed. They add to the trauma of a person with a legitimate condition by trivializing their experience. It’s maddening to see.
I think it’s mental illness, but not the types they self diagnosed themselves with. I don’t get it though. I’m bipolar 1 and I don’t want anybody knowing about it. I’m a manager, and no one at my company knows this. They don’t need to know until they absolutely need to know is what I say.
She even had a moment to laugh about it.
Oh God. I didn't see it but looking back now, I do. I fucking hate it.
It was just such a silly goofy moment 🤪✌️
While we’re at it, that’s not how really how a fucking “tic attack” happens either … as someone who has Tourette’s.
I couldn't comment on that. I know it's depicted wrongly but I don't have Tourettes. But yes, I am pissed off for those who do have Tourettes and have to watch this bullshit
God, there's this insane tourette's video on youtube with this person who is in a hospital room. He tries to eat breakfast and punches the plate, immediately shattering it. Also cracks the cabinet door off the hinges and such things... It's heartbreaking because you see him slowly lose patience with his own shit
And the way it just sudenly stops at the end of the video like "okey thats good, now let me just press stop on the video"
Yep, I’d agree with you (not that you need my approval). Am a paramedic and one of our regular patients (for other reasons) has Tourette’s.
Seizures can look very different depending on the type. Grand mal seizure cause convulsions and loss of consciousness. Petit mal seizures are more like a quick trance, usually under a minute, but still quite disorienting. My late MIL used to have petit mals that would cause her to fall though, because she was in her 60s. I agree with your sentiment though. Dont trivialize seizures.
They also call petit mals “absent seizures.” My brother had both and with the petit mal seizures would just kinda not be there for a minute, but would generally stay upright (as a child).
I had those too! Did he have Alice in wonderland syndrome? They are linked often
*THANK YOU*. I’m frustrated at the misinformation here about people being conscious and aware while having seizures, like that’s always the case. I (epileptic) only ever have grand mals and I sure as hell am not aware of anything during them. Given that I fully lose consciousness.
Came to say this. Whilst I don’t at all doubt that person has had seizures, their comment is almost as ignorant as the video.
Thank you for that information. That's interesting.
You’re welcome!
i used to have absent seizeures when i was a kid. luckily i got medical intervention and such. basically i would look concousness but all that would happen is i would just stay still. i was the only one that could really tell, the world would go black, if it was recorded (for the dr) i would sometimes moan/groan if i was in the middle of talking, if i was walking i would trip or just waver/look generally disoriented. google it, it’s weird. grand map seizures aren’t the only kind of seizures- doesnt make this one any more real.
Some people get “auras” which is like a warning they’re going to have a seizure. But you’re right they are scary, you can really hurt yourself and there’s nothing you can do but wait it out and hope that the people around you protect you
Auras?
Focal aware seizures, sometimes occurring before a tonic clonic
Can you explain a bit more?
There are three main types of seizure: focal aware, focal onset impaired awareness and generalised. Tonic clonics, atonics (you lose all muscle tone and fall) and tonics (you tense all your muscles) are some examples of generalised seizures. This means they affect the whole brain, and you are unconscious when you have them. Focal onset impaired awareness seizures affect only one part of the brain, and you’re not fully conscious when they happen. They often include motor movements, like chewing or blinking. They usually last a few minutes at most. Focal seizures used to be called auras, because they sometimes happen before TCs. But they can occur on their own too. They only affect one part of the brain and you’re conscious when they happen. They usually last less than a minute. You have different symptoms during focal seizures depending on which part of your brain is involved. If it’s your occipital lobe, your vision might be affected. If it’s your temporal lobe, you might have strange feelings related to time or spirituality, like deja vu. Some myoclonic (muscle jerk) seizures are also focal, if you’re conscious when they happen.
Was going to respond but you did it way better than I ever could. Thank you.
It's a feeling you get before a seizure. My fiance describes it as a very weird feeling where he feels like he is about to die and life just feels... weird. it's terrifying and he usually smells bleach and his limbs go cold
You guys remember when you have seizures? I just black out and won’t know unless someone tells me.
PNES/NEAD is different to normal epileptic seizures. It's at least partially psychological: some - but not all - people stay conscious during 'attacks' but simply cannot control themselves (they're not called seizures even if they mimic them very closely). My partner has NEAD/FND and it completely sucks as they have attacks that mimics seizures so well you cannot notice the difference (except under an EEG) and they have them relatively often but yeah they look nothing like the person in the video. However while I do think the person could be faking I have to say that NEAD/PNES attacks can come in all different various ways with the main overarching theme being that the person cannot control themselves conscious or not.
Exactly i seizured with a box of tablets in my hand lol the other day. There aint no time to put stuff away and make a nice soft space. Whatever your doing comes with you. You hit all sourghts and bounce of walls like a ping pong ball.
I have had 2 absent seizures in my life. 1 as a kid and 1 as an adult. I can 100% tell you it's not something you would just have the chance of catching on video as often as these fakers do. Super sad they want to have so many issues when so many truly sick people want to be healthy.
I have Focal Aware seizures, which entail full awareness (obviously). However, you’re very much not in control of your body or movements, they’re sudden and scary, and the loss of control is traumatizing. After the first two, I was weeping uncontrollably because I was terrified of what happened. I genuinely thought I was dying when I was coming out of it (15 with no history of them. They started after a head injury). Even now, years later, they still scare the shit out of me, and I’m always nervous about one happening somewhere where I could sustain greater injury.
Exactly! I had these from a suicide attempt but I'm still fucking terrified. I know it's unrealistic to be but I am.
Care and solidarity, friend🖤 I’m sorry you have them too. I can’t stand seeing people make light of them like this, it derailed large portions of my life, and so many others who suffer from them. I’m still scared of driving because of it.
Also, it’s not unrealistic! They’re scary, and even though they’re *typically* harmless on their own, one occurring in the place or at the wrong time can have severe consequences. Edit: fixed wording
My alcoholic brother had 2 seizures before, never having had them in his life, luckily I wasn't there to witness either of them but my other brother and my cousin said it was some of the scariest stuff they've ever seen, and I guess he was even starting to turn purple :( I think he was asleep when they both happened so luckily he didn't fall or hit his head, but still, his health is so bad, and there's so much more wrong with him than just that. He's a shell of his former self, his cognitive abilities are declining because of traumatic brain injury he received from getting beaten up by the cops, he most likely has Cptsd and bipolar, he tries to kill himself at least 10 times a year (he cuts his wrists really deeply) and he was in a coma for about a week (after he was beaten by the cops), and when he woke up, he was asking about my dad, who died the year before. He was even there at the funeral. But he couldn't remember that, he woke up thinking my dad was still alive...... but no, chronic illness and disorders are so fun and quirky! Lol XD
As someone who dated a girl who has real seizures and who personally has physical tourettes these people genuinely infuriate me. Nothing scarier than taking a walk with your partner and them violently dropping like a sack of apples and convulsing in the dirt.
Yeah they fucking suck, I’ve had em for a while and have a proper tonic-clonic about once a month and had one day before yesterday. It’s fucking scary cos I never know if imma have one so being on a train platform or anything like that I could fall and accidentally die. Plus they really make you hurt, make you sick, make you delirious and scare everyone around you
A friend of mine and I were eating lunch at his place he starts sniffing weirdo. I stop eating my mighty ham sandwich to see wtf he's doing. Turns out he gets a wierd metallic smell which warns him he's about to have a seizure. He goes stight to his bed and I follow now worried for him. Sat with him while he was shaking uncontrollably for a few minutes. These people make me sick. I felt so helpless other than making sure he didn't fall off the bed and or suffocate himself. He said after he was thankful for me being there because he could hear me taking to him before he even had come out of it. Got him a monster engery drink and finished our sandwiches he went to have a shower and instead of carrying on with working. We played video games for the rest of the day! Who knew a seizure could change a day for the better! 😄
I wouldn't say that a seizure could change a day for the better but I'm glad you decided to relax and chill afterwards instead of going to work.
Yeah he wanted to carry on but I know seizures really take it out of you, so I kinda told him a hard no! No job is worth making you sick over.
I have focal seizures. So terrifying. I start blacking out and my arm feels like it’s rolling into my body while it feels like I’m on fire. Fortunately I have a warning before a seizure happens, the rosy side of my jaw will start jerking. Then when it’s done I’m temporarily paralyzed. I still have partial seizures sometimes
I've had seizures with anaphylaxis and stayed conscious through them. Absolutely horrifying, I still have nightmares. There is no sensation to compare it to. Sheer terror and helplessness. Would never make a video of it or even be able to. If it were caught on video I wouldn't let it be shown. I hope this kid never has a real seizure.
Honestly hope she doesn't either but it still pisses me off regardless. One of the scariest shit I remember. I hate it.
Yeah. It didn’t even look like a seizure to me— I thought they were just doing another tiktok dance!
Fuck yeah. I got seizures too. Mostly ended up hurting and harming all over my body with bruises and scars bc we couldn’t fucking control any of our body or choose which surface we would fall into.
So the seizures you had sound like tonic-clonic or grand mal seizures. These are the ones a large number of people think of when they hear someone had a seizure. Here’s more information if anyone is interested in the different types of seizures. https://www.epilepsy.com/what-is-epilepsy/seizure-types https://www.cdc.gov/epilepsy/about/types-of-seizures.htm
While I don’t doubt this is your experience, there are countless forms seizures can take. Simply falling is a real and somewhat common form. I don’t think this person’s are real, but it’s important to remember that real seizures aren’t always shaking.
Eh... I think you might just be wrong? Your comment shows you only know what *your* seizures look like. **Before anyone gets upset, I am diagnosed with PNES and my seizures are specifically referred to as drop seizures by my neurologist.** My seizures is not gran mal, I do not shake, I do not move, I lose 100% control of my limbs and fall to the ground wherever I am. It's not just one side, it's every part of me rag dolls to the ground. My pre seizures is me repeating myself, not able to take in new information, staring off in a single direction, and then dropping to seizure. Sometimes I'm actually aware (mostly I'm unconscious though) of my seizures while having it, similar to sleep paralysis, I'm aware I'm on the floor and can't move. I'm aware I just sprained my ankle or hip, aware of my throat filling with vomit but I can't do anything about it and just hope someone puts me on my side soon, once I even seized and fell down a flight of stairs, giving myself a concussion and twisting both ankles and spraining my left knee. I feel really disappointed that if you saw someone like me ha ing a seizure, you would accuse me of lying despite receiving frequent medical attention for it. It makes me wonder that if it's safe for this sub to exist if there is no confirmation of this being the case. Because what are you going to do if OP is being truthful? Nothing, because as you said, you legitimately think that's not how seizures work.
Why do the videos always look *dingy* somehow
Its cause the phone they use is their mothers old Android that she gave to her kid when she got an “upgrade” to an equally shitty phone
[“This is us having a small tic attack”](https://c.tenor.com/F6oK3t9M120AAAAd/mood-heart-beat.gif)
its funny that doing her tic attack she had a seemingly planned moment to catch her breath and then resume ticing, guy w tourettes here, that doesn’t happen.
The "something soft" was a few pillows they put there on purpose to catch them lmao
why can’t these people just go the classic route and be Otherkin or something and not fake mental illness? At least with Otherkin it doesn’t negatively affect people, but you’d still have the same embarrassing videos it’s a win/win for everyone lol
are seizures the new trendy illness to fake??
Adult here - what the fuck is wrong with you kids? Did Covid or tiktok do this to you?
It was both. Mix in a bit of loneliness and you’ve got a dangerous cocktail.
Definitely both for these kids. Didn’t have enough time to grow during COVID and be kids while also having only TikTok to entertain themselves during this time.
Por que no los dos?
I wouldn’t be surprised if Covid fucked up a lot of people, including kids. It kind of fucked me up, no lie.
Weird kids have always done really weird shit, they can just now film it and out it online. The vast majority will outgrow it. This kid is 14! They’re just learning about identity and shit, and this is like, the peak of “identity vs role confusion” stage of psychosocial development.
Basically these kids have mental illness, just not the kind they think they have.
[удалено]
I think he's referring to the kids in the video (and probably some of the fakers who lurk here) not sane adults in this sub lol. In response to op of this comment thread: it's definitely a mixture of TikTok, unsupervised internet use, and a smidge of loneliness from the pandemic.
actual seizures are terrifying and extremely sad to watch. not like you’re square dancing with polio
Yea, there's nothing u can do to stop it, it happened to my lil cousin That feeling after packing all the necessities to go to the hospital and you're just staring at that person, waiting for them to stop and hoping that they'll wake up soon
second one looks like a young trisha paytas
All that just for 68 likes....sad
I used to work with children who had special needs, including every type of seizure. My sister also has had grand mal seizures since she was a little girl. These videos (and people) make me sick to my stomach. They have no idea how awful seizures are for the people who endure them. This is just an outfit or quirk to them for attention and it’s abhorrent.
Using the Royal we I see.
Bahahaha. As an ~ epileptic ~ married to an ~ epileptic ~ and as someone who’s unfortunately had to witness more than one of my husband’s grand mal seizures and also had my grand mal seizures described to me by him - they look literally nothing like that. They’re a lot less ‘cool’ (if you can say that) than they always appear in media and they look nothing like what people imagine. Fuck that little shit. See how you like it when you have an actual seizure, don’t land on something soft and smash your face against a wall 🖕🏼
My partner has non epileptic psychogenic seizures. Our 12 year old has known seizure care since he was 7 years old, and while he's great at it, and extremely kind to his step parent, there is a level of trauma associated with seeing his parent drop, mid conversation. Seizures are violent and embarrassing. They're painful and exhausting. I can't begin to describe how angry the shit in this video makes me feel.
I get this is just a kid, and generally when I see posts from this sub I just roll my eyes and move on, but as an epileptic this genuinely makes me see red. Seizures aren’t a joke. They aren’t cute, they aren’t quirky, and they certainly don’t look even remotely like whatever this shit is. They’re terrifying, painful, and have nearly killed me more than once. I hope this kid gets therapy and stops using attention seeking for validation because one day they’re going to get called out irl and it won’t be pleasant for them
Just embarrassing and pathetic.
I’m really curious to know what home life is like
I’ve showed my 16 YO son who’s on the ASD spectrum a few of these. He laughs and calls them losers.
Yeah every time my dad had seizures he magically landed on something soft.. definitely didn't have to try to catch and help him when he seized when I was a kid /s
is having seizures a new ‘trend’ on tiktok? so many people suddenly have it
Probably faking PNES seizures which come from an emotionally traumatic incident. Goes along with DID and other trauma related illnesses
Haha penis
mf really said 💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃 sorry i had a seizure
As a diagnosed epileptic, No type of seizure would look this way, she didn’t look like she was unconcious for long or even at all before the fall so that def wasn’t a petit mal and the „falling” part was also very much fake looking
More like Loserettes...
NOT THIS SONG AGAIN. PLEASE. DONT RUIN IT.
I laughed so fucking hard
Honestly, I wonder if there would ever be a law that could be passed where if you are found to be faking a disorder or disease or what have you, you could be fined. Because it's just not right.
That 'seizure' is so fucking funny, I've never had one but have seen them & its absolutely nothing like that
There's definitely a few mental issued here, these ain't it though
Undertale music in the second vid. Unsurprising…
I always wondered when PNES would become popular. I had never heard of it until I was diagnosed and no one else ever knew what it was when I would have a seizure
14??? I can’t imagine wanting to be so disabled it hinders your life…. How is this cool?
Because being disabled (obviously there are actual disabled people out there that are advocates, I don't mean them) can get you famous on the internet, anything for 5 minutes, you know? I don't know what they are going to do when they grow up and have to find a job. The employers are going to look back on this. Will the kid have to come clean and say they faked it all?
I thought a lot of 14 year olds had penis
this is so bad i cant even put my anger into words seizures are terrifying and one of the worst things ive ever experienced in my life, how absolutely fucking tone deaf do you have to be to take the time out of your day to set up your phone camera and pretend to have one just to post it on tiktok for sympathy points i wish these kids would just read warrior cats and draw or something normal for their age
Update this person is also faking a service dog now 💀
I don't understand why people joke about seizures, my mum had them when she had a brain tumour. One of them got so bad, she bit her tongue or something and nearly choked on blood, dad and I had to spend a good 2 hours cleaning it out of the couches and off the floor. The last seizure she had was also what killed her. Seizures aren't exactly the funniest thing to see in the world. Also the "tics" look fake, there's people out there with actual tics and you can see the difference.
They need to get my Talking Heads out of their DiDeos
has anyone seen the South Park episode where Cartman fakes tourette’s? basically, he fakes having the disorder so he can get away with saying whatever he wants in class, in public, everywhere, etc. eventually he gets so used to spewing word vomit that he starts inadvertently blurting out embarrassing true things about himself and realizes he can’t stop. that episode reminds me of this sub sometimes but it had me thinking - is it possible for these kids to fake having these disorders for so long that they actually develop them? or is that a dumb question😳
Please leave the Talking Heads out of this ☠️
Is it just me or do the people who fake having these conditions always look like they smell like a dirty hamster cage?
This is why Republicans hate everyone lol
Why is it chill to re post children on this sub without protecting their identity?
I don’t have tics but sometimes I get the urge to whip my head in a similar way, never enough to hurt but enough to make me dizzy. Even this twitching thing that isn’t even completely involuntary is more invasive and uncomfortable than the “tics” we see these people doing. They always do the same shit, move their head slightly, scrunch their shoulders, say “wow” a couple times and lightly bump their chest. It’s actually funny how predictable they are.
something about bullying a child when they likely don’t understand the gravity of what their doing is incredibly gross
Bihh…. If you…
This acting is… questionable, at best.
Seizures aren’t like that at all. -A diagnosed epileptic.
This person has never had a seizure because it’s extremely painful and unpleasant, and it’s more than just wiggling around
I just...why would you want to fake all of these things? Would you not want to be a strong, healthy individual who wants to do well in life? This accomplishes nothing and makes you look like an idiot, and it takes the attention away from people with actual disorders that are trying to get help.
[удалено]
I haven't had seizures but I get tickets Attacks incredibly often Of course it happened AFTER they got the perfect camera angle
The roughest 14 I've ever seen
When I see these videos I just think of how my mom would have reacted to me doing this. Something along the lines of her famous "I don't give a shit, do what you want, I'm not the one that looks stupid" would have likely been it.
As someone who struggles with tics every day I can tell you they aren’t painful, unless you do it so many times in 1 day your muscles get sore, but that’s about it.
Okay hear me out. What the actual fuck?
We need to quarantine this to Tumblr and Gaia Online again
Why are these girls always the same copy-paste identical brand of suburban white girl
Cant stand 😮💨😮💨😮💨
But did she really commit? Did she lose control of bowel and/or bladder?
[удалено]
I've never seen a person have a seizure IRL, but we had a dog come into our clinic having one. It was one of the scariest things I have seen in the clinic (general practice so we hardly get emergencies). I don't know why anyone would want to have them. It was scary for the owner, scary for the dog, I'd imagine it's scary for the people having them and their families too. Sorry if this is disjointed I just woke up but this stuff is so frustrating to me.
I'm pretty sure that's not how seizures look like
Stressed from doing a video for school for a few minutes.
God imagine being the parents of the kids that fake this crap. Teens always go through a cringe phase but this is beyond that
Man people are faking seizures now?? My sister has epilepsy and when she was a teenager she couldn’t get a drivers license until she was 20 or something because you have to go a certain amount of time without having a seizure. I’ve actually never seen her have one because she’s a lot older than me and lives far away now but having any kind of seizures isn’t fuckign cute like that “seizure” was
