Dealing with Health Issues and PTSD Nightmare

Also, you are not alone in feeling like your world is turning upside down because of so many bad things happening at once. I am feeling similar.

Are the seizures a recent issue?

You're not alone. Everything can seem to hit you at once sometimes but you've managed everything individually before so stay strong and you'll make it through this time. I know it's overwhelming at times, and scary. But focus on it as 1 big struggle rather than multiple and it can help feel less overwhelming

I suffered an epileptic seizure with short term memory loss nearly 7 years ago, so I know just how scary an experience like that can be. You're not alone.

Hey Blue, you're definitely not crazy. I understand how you feel and how overwhelming it can be, but you will get through this! I get a ton of strange and terrible symptoms on my stressful weeks (finals week, etc) and it can definitely take me out for a while after as well. Sticking to routines (as much as possible) and finding something small to focus on/look forward to (like building a puzzle, making art, watching a show or playing a game) is very helpful for me as I can break life down into little bite sized sections between my breaks where I do something to relax. Stay strong, dude!

I definitely get what you mean, when you say that you feel crazy and you don't feel like yourself. I think that you are a very, very brave person to have all of these things going on, and you're still trying to make it to your university lectures. The best advice that I can offer is to just take a step back from your responsibilities, take a few deep breaths, and tell yourself "I've got this." You are not crazy by any stretch of the imagination, and you are not alone. Perhaps take a little time to do something you enjoy, before you try to dive back into it. As for the procrastination, the best thing I can recommend is making lists of everything you need to do, and breaking larger jobs down into smaller steps. That's one of the few things that works with me and my ADHD, and getting large tasks completed on time.

Oh gosh, that’s super rough. 😞 I get what you mean by not feeling like yourself and needing support. Issues/disorders/illnesses—especially (c)PTSD—tend to pile on when something stressful like that happens, so it’s no surprise to me that that’s happened to you. I don’t have any advice, but you’re definitely not crazy or alone in this. 🧡
