I Can't Get Rid Of You, Seizure

I can't get rid of you, seizure

Repetitive hospital admissions for epilepsy seizures create a cycle of uncertainty and disruption in one’s life. Each admission brings a mix of familiar routines and unpredictable outcomes. The initial stages often involve a sense of urgency and apprehension, as symptoms escalate, and medical intervention becomes necessary. There’s a feeling of vulnerability and loss of control as seizures take hold, potentially leading to confusion, disorientation, and physical exhaustion.

In the hospital, there's a dual sense of relief and frustration. Relief stems from the knowledge that medical professionals are on hand to provide immediate care and support. Frustration arises from the ongoing struggle to manage a chronic condition that disrupts daily life and requires frequent medical attention. The environment itself can evoke a range of emotions. Hospital corridors and sterile rooms become all too familiar, echoing with the sounds of medical equipment and hurried footsteps. There’s a sense of isolation, despite the presence of healthcare providers and supportive loved ones. The cycle of admissions can evoke feelings of resignation and anxiety about future episodes, as well as the toll it takes on personal independence and wellbeing.
