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

-58: I apologize for my inability to understand this numb nut. -62: You said "you GTFO" but it was directed to "two" people. Please Explain More Thoroughly...

73- More thoroughly? If my comment was directed at two people, then I'm talking to both of you. Don't get the confusion.

I call fake on this one. There's no such thing as a "mild" epileptic seizure. Either you have a petit mal, in which case you don't shake at all and wouldn't actually spill your milk (or if you did, wouldn't deserve much comfort or calling for help), or you have a grand mal, where you would be on the ground and unconscious, making it literally impossible for any real human being to yell at you for something like that. Even if it is real, I don't know about other epileptics, but I hate being comforted and coddled either when I have a seizure or when people find out I have epilepsy. That gasp of pity and stare of utmost compassionate concern is pretty sickening after a while. Goddammit, stop treating me like I'm a fragile, helpless little puppy who's just gotten hit by a car or I'll run you over with mine! Sorry, needed to vent a little :)

oh, and I forgot to mention that when you have a seizure you're more than likely to piss yourself. I'm thinking your mom would be more concerned with having that on her carpet than milk.

73- No need to apologize, I was just saying.
