PNES

Another diagnosis I received in Toronto from the Rehabilitation Hospital was Psychogenic Non Epileptic Seizures.  For me, when my body feels it is too stressed it stops responding to the environment around it.   I freeze and it looks like I have dropped out of the world.   My eyes may roll back in my head, but mostly I just shut my eyes unconsciously.  After a seizure I will sleep for a few hours.  This is because the work my brain has to do behind the scenes.  They are extremely scary for me, and for the people around me. I’ve never had one on public, and probably never will.   But if I do, please just talk me through it, reminding me I’m in a safe place and be gentle as possible.  When I come too I’ll probably be very acetates and embarrassed.   Sometimes I don’t know where I am and will usually forget what I was doing immediately before hand.  Help me get oriented.  Tell me who you are and your position in my life.  Remind me where I am and what I was planning to do.  Be calm.  Here’s a link to a video thT many doctors have put forth.
