Wow how long has it been!!!!! Over 30,000 views since I've been away is incredible.
But meanwhile I thought I should explain why I've been gone for so long. I've just been diagnosed with non epileptic attack disorder . Now not many people even know what that is of how it is caused but it's changed my life.
I will suddenly collapse on the floor and have an epileptic fit. But NEPD which it is also known as isn't a medical condition it is more of a psychological condition which can be brought on my extreme stress of trauma. We don't really know which part of my life has caused this to happen but this is how my body has chosen to deal with it.
joining support groups with people going through the same thing helps because you feel as if your not alone and you can talk to people who understand what your going through.
it is really hard to diagnose you have to have a number of tests to rule out epilepsy. I had to have these 21 electrodes glued to my head for a 24 hour period and I had to have a normal day which meant a day at school. Which was just my luck I didn't have a fit so a week later I had to have the electrodes out back on for 48 hours which luckily I had a fit which then ruled out epilepsy. It was a long process I was in A and E 3 days straight the nurses and doctors started to remember me haha which wasn't a good thing.
Because of the amount of fits i was having cause I have one every single day they referred to a specialist.
The waiting lists takes months to be put on because there is just so many people going through the same thing as me but I couldn't fault the NHS at all.
It's completely changed my life simple things like taking my dog out I can no longer do because the fits come on so fast I don't have any time to get home. I can't go out by myself someone always has to be with me. It's completely changed my kife.
Because this isn't a medical condition people don't really understand but this is a thing which people go through people like me.
But I know it will take a while but I will soon be back to my old self and I can carry on with my life. It's just a life changing situation that can be fixes.
