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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a seizure. My dad responded by saying it always happens with my disease. I never have had a disease. Now I have to wait for my dad to stop yelling at my mom about not telling me, so I can ask what I have in the first place. FML
Today, I seized in the shower, making me trip over the edge of the tub, which is when I then smashed my face against an open toilet and broke my nose. Thank you epilepsy. FML
Today, I finally got medication to deal with my seizures. I've had them since I was 5, but my mother had always believed I was faking it. When I seized during a basketball game, she actually came onto the court and lectured the referee for "humoring" me. FML
Today, at work, my phone kept crashing. Without thinking, I announced that it was having a seizure. Who did I announce this to? My boss. Who also happens to have epilepsy. 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 supposed to be on my way to Hawaii for a long-planned family vacation, but I had an anxiety attack that I couldn't explain. Now I'm lying in bed and crying, and my phone is blowing up with texts and calls. FML
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
Today, I had a seizure, and as they were loading me into the ambulance, drooling on myself, I clearly heard my mother ask the ambulance crew if they’d mind swinging by the church on the way to the hospital, you know, in case it turns out I’m not sick, just possessed by the devil. FML
Today, I was coming home from a much-needed vacation. The time I spent on the plane consisted of kids screaming and throwing tantrums. One of them managed to give me a black eye with a shoe. Their mom pretended to be asleep so I'd have to deal with her kids for her. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I cancelled our date tonight. I cancelled because I had a seizure and was taken to the hospital. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She sounds like a total bitch, sorry you have to put up with someone blaming you for something you have no control over. Hopefully you can schedule a new vacation soon!

No one can help epilepsy you're born with it like blond hair or brown eyes

Sadly, not all parents are pleasant. I expected this to end that they left without her though.

Aren't the airline people supposed to cooperate in situations like these?

I could be wrong, but I doubt that they would hold up an entire airplane for someone who had a seizure, if that's what you mean. My friend had one and was hospitalized for two days, and there's really no way of knowing how long it'll take for someone to recover after.

I meant can't they shift you to a different flight or something?

I understand that it could be frustrating dealing with epilepsy but that's just plain mean.
Lil_Red777 21
It might be frustrating but it can't be helped. And I'm sure it's hardest on OP.

Especially the fact that OP's mom is a bitch and obviously is a dipshit at that.

Sorry OP, nothing you could do about it!

Couldn't you have caught another plane considering the circumstances? Or were you not physically ready to go on a flight at the time because of your condition?

I'm epileptic. That shit sucks I'm sorry. I know how embarrassing it can be to have seizures in public.
Emi1y 21
Aw sorry, OP. It's not your fault your fault that you missed your flight and your mom should totally lay off y'all can always take a vacation later on.
