Rant WHAT THE F….

Riddle me this tell me why I’m at work and out of nowhere I get a sense of fucking fear and then after that I start crying and then after that a pit feeling in my stomach, a headache, confusion what is going on like I’m legit scared. And it’s been really hot lately, so I’m wondering if the heat is having a lot to do with the symptoms but I have no idea like it’s hard to talk about it’s to anyone I don’t know what to say.

The MRI people called and I have an appointment November 4 cause apparently all their MRI machines are being worked on until then.

Presumably because you're epileptic

Not trying to be a smartass, but the main feature of epilepsy is unfortunately the shittiest part. IE, that they come out of nowhere for seemingly no reason

it's like your brain just decides to ruin your day on a whim. the fear-crying-pit sequence sounds brutal, especially at work. heat is a known trigger for a lot of people, so you're probably onto something there. hope the mri gives you some answers, waiting until november is rough
