Today, I had a mild epileptic seizure. My mom's immediate reaction was not to comfort me or call for help, but to freak out over the fact that I'd spilled my glass of milk over the floor. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I wanted to pretend to have a seizure so my baby sister could know when to call 911. When I fell down and started to pretend, she decided to drink my soda instead of helping me. FML
Today, I had a seizure at work. My boss walked by and saw me, but didn't help or do anything because he thought I was "picking something up off the floor." FML
Today, my dad had a seizure just after taking his anti-seizure medicine and having been seizure-free for two and a half months. Did I mention I was pooping while my poor dad was having this? I ran out with my pants around my ankles, due to my stepmom flipping out, screaming at me to find the phone (which she found). FML
Today, I was making pudding and accidentally spilt some on the floor. I had no idea until I slipped in it, throwing the bowl of pudding on my head. My mom promised to take me to the hospital as soon as she got a picture. FML
Today, I was in the kitchen with my mom, who is severely disabled and can barely walk. She suddenly slipped on a puddle of water, so I instinctively grappled her from behind to save her. It took me a moment to realize my hands were accidentally cupping her breasts. She then slipped again and took both of us down. FML
Today, my mom was in the kitchen when her shirt caught on fire. Acting quickly, I poured my glass of water on her. Instead of thanking me, she yelled at me for making a mess. FML
Today, I fell in the shower and knocked myself out. When I came to I turned off the water and called my mom. She seemed more worried about the amount of water I "wasted" than she was about me. FML
Today, I had a seizure while at the airport, ready to go on vacation with my family. We ended up missing our flight. My mom spent most of the ride home making cracks about how I'm always ruining things with my "dramatics". Sorry that I have epilepsy, mom. FML
Today, I received a phone call at work about an emergency, and that I had to come home immediately. I arrived to find that no one had been hurt and the house hadn't burned down. The "emergency" was my mom had ran out of milk and cigarettes. FML
Today, after waking up, I went into the kitchen and took a swig of milk from the carton. I overestimated my strength, and the whole thing splashed all over my face. A few moments later, my dad staggered in, looked at me in disgust, and said, "You know what? I don't even wanna know." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well have you ever tried to get milk out of your carpet?

I'd be pissed if I was your mom. You could have yelled before the seizure rather than dropping your milk on the ground. God.

I really hope that was sarcasm...

Excuse me but did you ever think that dropping the milk was a freaking accident because he was having a freaking seizure and couldn't freaking predict it GOD

29 - Obviously you don't think before you spit out ignorant words like that.

Some seizures are actually preceded by an aura. Some people can actually tell when they will have a seizure and service dogs are trained to recognize this aura as well.

Some people rarely know when a seizure is about to happen.

You do realize he had a mild ******* SEIZURE, meaning he couldn't help it, which is a medical condition. I would feel sympathy if your kids have epilepsy. ****...

I believe he was using sarcasm when talking about this "mild ******* SEIZURE" But that is just my guess. Either this is your first time on FMyLife and you are a complete dumbass. Or you are a complete dumbass.

Being medical personnel, I have to say that after having seen someone go into a seizure, and having experienced the fear when my father had one-- there is no way that any mother would ever sit by while their child was on the floor convulsing, soiling themselves, eyes rolling back into their skulls, uncontrollable spasms completely taking over their body. It's ******* scary, and humiliating for the one who has to experience it. I'm not one to completely dismiss something without giving the benefit of the doubt; maybe your mother seriously thought you were faking it, and chose to fret over the milk just to play along? If you are, however, epileptic and suffer from seizures I am very sorry.

There are different kinds of seizures. I believe the grand mal seizures are like what you described that are pretty intense, but there are lesser ones where you just basically lock up and don't convulse and then there's everything in between. Since OP said it was a mild seizure, I was thinking he/she had one where she just locked up or only slightly convulsed.

Wait we're you saying op was sarcastic or the person you commented on ?? Confusing!

@ #14 I know, right? Kids these days are like animals e_e ... @ The_a_teen, who let you on the internet? GTFO. @37 I think it's the latter, personally. first-timers with that feeble amount of brain power would take too long to figure out how to comment on their first day. @46 He was saying that #16 was sarcastic, if you use the logical thought process called "process of elimination" (mulling possibilities and cancelling out the ones that make the least sense), you figure things out quick without having to make yourself out to be a 'tard. everybody understand now?
