Weirdness Attack Yesterday

[laura_seabrook]

I had several "weirdness attacks" yesterday.

The first happened when I was at Wallsend Plaza eating a Chinese meal. All the sounds and sights of the dining hall area seems to crowd into me at once. I felt extremely crowded and confused. I felt like this last Sunday when I was at Broadway Plaza.

The second happened over at Jenny's. I was changing the filter on her water jug. I was just standing there, and suddenly confused about what I was doing. Jenn got me to sit down and do nothing for a while.

Scared about this. Jenn reckons it's just lack of sleep. I hope so.

Have you seen a doctor about all this?

Doctors?

Perhaps it's wise you get it checked out.
It could be serious, it could be nothihg more than a little vertigo.
Not to be scary, but my friend's mother had a brain seizure about 4 months ago, she felt weird a few times, her personality changed dramatically too - She was more agro etc, then her brain just 'switched off'. Its good to get things checked out.
She's alive too btw, but has had extensive rehabilitation. She is a different woman but not in a bad way.

Every time I go to my G.P. or Endo, I more or less get the "runnaround", like "It's the flu" (and ok, maybe).

I guess what's worrying me in that this might be the onset of any number of things that seem to follow on from epilepsy later on in life. As a child I was utterly afraid of a) being institutionalised, b) losing my mind, c) losing my memory.

In any case, I'm broke until next wednesday and only have enough money togo out twice more until then (if I don't use the car).

It could well be deep rooted, more than you know.
It's hard to face your fears but sometimes we have to, so we can overcome it. I am frightened of death and/or dying of heart disease. It terrifies me because my aunty, grandmama & poppa all died from it and my aunty died young so it freaks me out. I used to have panic attacks about it after pop died but I slowly got over it.
The best thing to do is think logically, which is what I did and I'm not as worried anymore, like I don't think about it every day.
Like I said in an earlier comment way back, you might need time alone or go somewhere nice - Away from Newcastle & away from people.

Getting Away

I probably do, but I can't see that happening for a while. The best I can do is maybe QC.
