I’m at my parents house for various reasons, and I was actually thinking of moving out this year to be closer to my friends.
And then I had a seizure. And my parents and my sister were instrumental in calling 911 and making sure I didn’t end falling to the ground painfully. They stuck with me in the hospital, and have been incredibly supportive. State law doesn’t even let me drive for 6 months, so they’ve helped immensely with all that. I don’t think I would’ve even known I had a seizure if not for them, and I couldn’t have taken the right corrective measures for my health.
So, from the very bottom of my heart – fuck you Dave Ramsey. Go fuck yourself and shove a rusty cactus up your ass. I’d call him a cunt (which I do not do lightly), but he lacks the warmth and the depth to be one.
Be safe man, hoping for you that it was just a one off seizure and you don’t have a recurrence. You don’t want to deal with full blown epilepsy. My sister has adult onset epilepsy that they can’t really get under control. She can’t drive anymore, has to wear a helmet any time she’s on her feet, and with the ever-changing med cocktail she gets prescribed, it really affects her mental state and mood.
It seems like it was just a one off. There doesn’t seem to be anything clearly wrong neurologically, and my blood sugar was incredibly low at the time. I’m also apparently predisposed to getting seizures at low blood sugar from a condition I have, I was on a medicine at the time which lowered my seizure threshold, and I think another medicine was artificially lowering my blood sugar too. So it was just the perfect storm.
I hope things turn around for your sister :/. That’s absolutely awful. I’m incredibly fortunate, but for a while it was possible that could’ve been me. I hope there’s a miracle cure out there to help.
Oh I’m very fortunate. My parents are overbearing but they let me stay without rent and my mom still cooks for us. I’m incredibly lucky, and I wish everyone could fall back on their family like this.
There’s a big problem facing the collective generation, and I sure as hell will help however I can.

I’m glad your family had your back, a lot of people can’t do so, and we’re facing generational collapses.

Thank you!
