Potentially needs a TW 🚨
Seizures, hospital, needles and car crash
I’ve never really talked about my mental and physical health. That being said, because of this I constantly feel the need to step back from social media and all forms of digital communication. I just want everyone to know that it's nothing personal, I promise. I need some time to myself to focus on my recovery. I'm grateful for the understanding and support of my friends and family during my difficult times. Here is a small look into what’s been going on.
It all started years ago when I “passed out” while driving and crashed my car into a palm tree. That was when I had my first extreme seizure. But at the time, I was misdiagnosed. A few years later, I lost my license to drive. At that time, I was working a full-time job commuting 45 + mins away... I was spending more money commuting through uber and friends than it was worth. I've always been an independent person, and not being able to drive myself somewhere felt like a huge loss of independence. I've had to rely on others for rides, which has been challenging. I constantly felt like I was a burden to everyone, and it was tough for me to ask for help. I remember walking into my job and immediately feeling sick. The bright fluorescent lights felt like they were piercing my eyes, causing chronic Migraines daily. It was time to move on.
After having a complete breakdown one day at work, I finally decided it would be best to leave the toxic environment I was in and work on my mental and physical health. Today, I have finally been diagnosed correctly and prescribed the meds I need. I still have a long way to go, but I am very grateful for everyone and hope this will be my last health update and apology post for not getting back to every one promptly. Prayers this medication will work, and I can get back to doing what I love and being the best I can be for not only myself but the people around me as well.
Instagram won’t let me type anymore so continuing in comments…
