@shadowoffandoms this is basically what happened on chapter 3, right?

I get functional seizures from FND, so I don't personally know what it's like to have tonic clonic or any of the ones that are epileptic, so this is research from other people on Reddit who do have epilepsy

- I have this idea written down in my upcoming 2012/2018 crossover where Donnie programed his vambrace to alert him when he's going to seize (like a service dog would) while sending an alert to his family too BUT he also programmed it to make it easier for others to monitor, (Yellow is before and after a seizure, orange is during, and red means that he needs emergency help) It automatically times it and has his vitals that will also send to his brothers com units/ phones

- The above post remembered that he couldn't drive anymore (although there is the rule that someone can drive 6 months to a year seizure free) and someone else added to that about anything really dangerous like soldering, I'd say his flight shell wouldn't be allowed either.

- Other not allowed things : Working in high places, power tools, working near a fire/oven alone

- Things that would piss him off: no longer being able to drink an excessive amount of coffee, having to eat on a schedule and keep his blood sugar up, having to actually get sleep, having to ask for help with things that used to be easy

- Based on the info Tony gave us a few weeks ago about how Raph is most protective of Donnie, I feel like he'd become overbearing the first time Donnie gets injured during a seizure

- I also feel like the whole family would walk on eggshells when they realize stress triggers them

-I don't know what to think about swimming, my headcanon is that he can spend at least a day or two underwater with Draxums mutation, so drowning wouldn't happen

-More angry outbursts and feeling useless

For me after I have a seizure I feel like complete shit and I'm out for the rest of the day. It takes me a minute to get back, my speech is slurring after, I can't move very well and someone has to help me. I have THE WORST headache, like someone is splicing my head in two types of headache. And I'm extremely nauseous. I mostly end up sleeping the rest of the day cause it takes a lot out of me. Like full body reset as I call it.

The driving one is important because is some places it is 6 months but in others it's like.. 2 years... (I know that's how it is where I'm at).

When it comes to driving it really varies from where you are and where you live.

Try to focus on your actions rather than your traits:

E.g. “I’m sorry I keep ghosting you, I’m shit at friendships” –> “I’m sorry I keep ghosting you, I’m really struggling to keep up with my friends right now”

Then, if you can, turn the conversation back to the other person - you’re apologising because their feelings matter to you, so show that.

E.g. “I don’t mean to - our friendship means a lit to me, and I know it must make it seem like I don’t care.”

This gives the other person an opportunity to express their own experience so you can talk it over more if they want to, without skipping ahead to reassuring you that the relationship isn’t broken.
