Post Seizures

Wed, 03/15/2017 - 20:57
I have a friend who has seizures and it's tough to see her post seizure. Her balance is off and she cannot drive for a certain amount of time. I feel like I can handle those feelings when she has had one but is in recovery mode. I have never witnessed one of hers but I have witnessed a few of a student in my class at work and they are scary to watch him go through but for whatever reason I remain calm while the rest of the class panics.

Why do people get scared if

Why do people get scared if somebody else is having a seizure? I have epilepsy, it feels like an earthquake when I have a seizure. Seriously we watch far creepier stuff on TV routinely.
