My brain isn't working

[DuckieLady]

The most dramatic episodes happened in my home with all my children around. I felt it come on suddenly and the spin was so dramatic, I put myself on the floor to prevent falling. My children were very concerned. It stayed on the floor until it passed. Another time shortly after, it happened while I was in town running errands. I had to cut the day short.

Yes, I think the stress of parenting actually adds to it for me, only because I'm it. I am the only present parent and I have never had a babysitter, and then the list piles on, so I've had to stop and sit down the hallway and just wait for it to end.

Taking a lot of breaks to sit down and it just makes me feel like I'm not getting anywhere or that I won't get anywhere and that makes it worse because I need to get, like, everywhere, all at once.

I'm sorry that you had to go through it. It is the epitome of lame.

Hey.

I'm not necessarily back but came back to ask for prayer. I am actually considering sort of leaving the internet for some time so I can cope and hopefully get back to normal.

I had a traumatic event last week, which I'm not going to talk about, but I basically blacked out.

Basically my head shifts back and forth, I'll start stuttering and not having trouble speaking, zone out, shaking a bit, or just overall feeling weird or too hot. Too many details but none are important. Basically I'm not enjoying myself.

I had a few of these experiences before also from stress, but not to this extent. It seems to resemble PNES (psychogenic nonepileptic seizures) but I'm not diagnosed so I'll be careful on saying that.

Just wanted to come and ask for prayer. Didn't know where else to ask.

Praying for you Fluffy Yellow Duck!
Hugs

Update:

Just wanted to say thank you for the prayers. I feel like I've been given a little peace and I honestly feel like God will do something good for me soon.

Don't know what that thing is, just a feeling.

Praying for you Fluffy. I had vestibular migraines disorder I think, at least that's what the neurologist said it was. I would get vertigo when exercising and sometimes when sitting down. But they're checking my heart now. Anyways, I hope things clear up for you.

Hi @FluffyYellowDuck If someone is in significant discomfort in one way or another, it can indeed make one's mental processing to seem harder from time to time...

@FluffyYellowDuck So sorry about your event; and although I can't give medical advice, prayer and the Scriptures can definitely help a believer, for time and eternity.

Thank you!

I am doing okay. I am getting ready to leave in a couple hours and was having one of those moments again, for stupid reasons that didn't make any sense. Too much worrying about nothing.

Trying some relaxation techniques to cope and it seems like it is working.. I used to use kava tea when I was younger for stress after trauma and that worked really well, so I think I'll look for some today.

(Says it's used to prevent seizures, too.)

I have never had seizures but have suffered from complex PTSD and dissociation for many years. Since I was a child. I find mindfulness relaxation very helpful too. Many hugs. You aren't alone

I was doing a little better and REALLY working towards getting rid of stress as much as I can, but the "do you have a plan yet" pressure was happening and now I'm feeling really out of it and I can tell I'm going to have another one of these episodes again.

Have to turn my phone off because I can't handle ir right now and typing is hard, but prayers are seriously appreciated and I love you guys

Let Jesus have the plan. You just trust in Him.

I will pray for you some later on this afternoon. Be blessed,

@FluffyYellowDuck Good old Psalm 23 is great reading, over and over, from time to time...
