I had a seizure earlier today at a grocery store where I went to go purchase a book of stamps.
As I was waiting in line at Customer Service, I collapsed and became unconscious for about 10-15 minutes. When paramedics arrived, I was taken to the back near the pharmacy to be treated. However, the lead paramedic insisted I be taken to a hospital to be evaluated more. I asked the lead paramedic if I could make a quick withdrawal from the in-store ATM. I quickly withdrew $20 but the crew saw me trying to get out of the store.

I did ran out of the store, but did not got chased by the crew. I waited for a bus and took it to a larger grocery store that was about 15-20 minutes away.

After some time, I took another bus to go home.

When I got home, my NT sister told me that our mom accused her of being lazy for not answering the phone when the lead paramedic called our house. When I got my shoes and socks off, our mom accused me of faking it in order to get out of helping her with yardwork.

I did not fake a seizure today. It happened without warning.

I am okay now, but my NT sister and I agree that our mom needs to stop expecting everything and everyone around her to be perfect every single day. Our mom has anger issues and when I see my therapist in a few days, I will explain everything to my therapist and ask my therapist to consider taking on our mom as a potential patient.

Sorry to hear this, AA. Hope you’re ok. 10-15mins unconscious is not unusual in itself with seizure, but you’re a worry not being checked over further after that! Guess you weighed up the situation and figured based on past seizures, that you’d be ok. Still ..... take care.

^ Sorry to hear you had another seizure! Your mom shouldn't accuse you of faking it, especially since there's proof. That's not very nice of her. I hope she will agree to see a counselor. Do you think family counseling with you, her, and your sister would help?

Have you given your new employer info on what to do if you have a seizure at work?
