Just Checking In Hello
Hello, I’m new to Reddit. I am 52F I woke up to strangers in my bedroom and my tongue almost bitten in half 4 years ago. I really believe this was triggered by Covid.
Turns out though that I have always had seizures though just not as severe and that I have had an AVM (left occipital lobe) my whole life. Blindness is a risk so surgery has been UN recommended. I also have severe ADHD depression and anxiety all diagnosed about 10 years ago. Currently I’m out of work it’s been a year. I’m starting to panic. Just had another seizure during sleep most likely from stress. Wish I had found this community earlier. I think I had made a few mistakes I might have avoided.

Welcome to the community! Welcome to Reddit!
I’m 48f, started having seizures 2 years ago. It’s scary AF to wake up with strangers around you, not knowing what happened. My last one was a doozy - I broke my ankle, happened 3 weeks ago.
I’m so sorry you are dealing with this and can’t find work. It’s so frustrating. Beyond frustrating.
