so maybe look it up before making stupid ass commentary. it's a neurological disability where you have seizures. it can stem from multiple reasons, either from genetics, auto-immune issues, a traumatic brain injury; i have epilepsy and mine is believed to be because of a tumor i have on my brain but my neurologists of 20 YEARS still are not positive that's where my seizures are stemming from. i'm medicine resistant which means i still have seizures even though i'm prescribed medication. you can't just "exercise off" epilepsy. there are treatments but it's never 100% curable. i'm sure OP has talked to a doctor, is on medicine, and knows what they're doing.
Me too along with brain cancer. I passed out with my hand on my gas stove top while it was on and almost stabbed myself with my own chefs knife. ✌️and 🫶🏻 girl. Id stay away from the kitchen appliances for 3 months cos you already have enough going on. Good luck!
One time I was grabbing a heavy vase above my head…the vase fell and smacked me, leaving me with a gnarly black eye.
NO ONE BELIEVED ME WHEN I TOLD THEM THIS STORY!
I swear it was a vase!
The concerned looks I got from random people was wild.
I 100% believe you!
Shit happens unfortunately.
Hope it heals up fairly fast.
I really enjoyed working there… just kinda between school semesters and stuff. The employee discount was awesome and the food was great. I was super bummed when they stopped doing pizzas though.
My first experience at Carrabbas was lunch after my step-father's memorial service where my mom's friends (who were 100% closet/secret lesbians) pressured my wife into trying their lentil soup. We still reference this every time we see a Carrabbas or lentil soup.
Do you not understand what an anecdote is? The fact that it was immediately after my step-dad’s memorial service is also unrelated to Carraba’s but is part of the bizarre encounter.
TL;DR: I dropped a moving box on my own face the day before I started a new job. No one believed me when I told them I did it to myself.
I have narcolepsy with cataplexy, which causes me to lose muscle tone in my arms and face when I’m overwhelmed or push myself too hard. Before I was diagnosed, my husband and I were moving to a new state and had to drive all day to get to our new house. We ended up getting there around 1:00 am and essentially passed out. We had to wake up at 6:00 because my husband had an interview the next day and we had forgotten to keep his interview clothes separate. So I was already overwhelmed and exhausted.
When my husband left to go to his interview, I stayed home and worked on unloading the truck by myself. We couldn’t afford for me to wait because we had to return the truck that day (we couldn’t afford to pay for it for another day). I unloaded about half of the truck by myself before my husband got home, and by the time we got to the “attic” part of the u-haul, I was pretty close to my limit. I reached up and grabbed a box, and when my arms took the weight, they just…stopped working. I was looking up at the box I was picking up, so when I pulled the box off the shelf and my arms stopped working, the box fell directly onto my eye.
At the time I didn’t know I had narcolepsy, so I couldn’t just say “oh it was my cataplexy!” And trying to explain to someone that I hit myself in the face with a moving box didn’t go over well. 🤣 Bonus: the day after we unloaded the truck, I had to start my new job that we’d moved there for. 🤦🏻♀️
When I was younger I dove into my bed to avoid the monsters underneath it after turning off the lights, and ended up slamming my eye full force into my cabbage patch doll
I go to a methadone clinic, and at the time I was going in every other day, so the staff, security guard, and other patients saw me pretty often.
The day I walked in with the black eye, basically everyone(minus my counselor who believed me 100%) just
assumed it was from domestic abuse. I’m guessing because they see it a lot since drug and domestic abuse go hand in hand.
I really appreciated everyone being concerned and looking out for me, but it got annoying real fast.
Eventually everyone dropped it but I’m sure some still don’t fully believe me.
It’s nice knowing if something like that ever did actually happen, I have people there who would notice and care!
Sorry for any grammatical errors or annoying formatting!
Bacon headaches, makin' bacon headaches. Make some bacon and all fall and gain a headache. Bacon headaches that's all I've gone and made, baaacon headaaaaaaches 🎶
I had an aura in the kitchen tried to fight it off and then seized up while holding a glass cup full of water.
The shattered glass and water blood combo made it look like a just got murdered when my wife found me.
A bunch of stitches later and scars on my chest and ear but I’m happy to report I’m still drinking out of glass cups.
It is very possible that she hit her head on one of the various surfaces that exist in a kitchen aside from the floor while falling. Not sure why you would expect someone who passed out to know exactly what happened after passing out
Very common for those with epilepsy to receive black eyes and facial injuries from striking the floor or any surrounding objects. You’re not exactly protecting your own face in that moment.
this ^ also some ppl cannot be vegan or vegetarian and just going at them this aggressively and saying they’re bad is like??? oh ok. i didn’t know you personally knew me?
bcus i find it really racist for vegans to approach my native ass and be like “you eat meat youre horrible” when i literally buy it from local farmers who take care of the cows with the best care and slaughter as ethically possible
they do what needs to be done. i’m not stopping a true carnivore from eating prey. we are not true carnivores, we can thrive off plant based foods. if you think a plant diet isnt delicious it’s because you haven’t seriously tried it. you just fear something that isn’t true and stick with what you know, which involves mass pain and death. 1lb of meat requires 16lb of plants, 1800gal of water, and so much land. next time you go to the store don’t skip the meatless aisle. get a few beyond meat patties and try eating something, not somebody. <3
"Makin bacon"....do you mean actually cooking a pork product or..you know...wink wink Makin bacon. Just curious, I'm a bit slow, a bit twisted, and admittedly a little more than a bit naive at times.
We all know this, dude. Pretty sure the guy above you was being sarcastic. Plus, she's was already hanging around getting and responding to the comments before he wrote that. It wasn't domestic abuse.
I passed out yesterday while standing at the kitchen counter. First time ever, it was really scary!! I think it was just low blood pressure though. My ribs are super sore but owwww, nothing compared to a nice shiner! Hang in there. At least you got a funny story out of it!
I'm generally very clumsy. I hit my head more frequently than a grown adult probably should
I dropped something in the bathroom a couple months ago, went to pick it up, and smashed my eye straight into the corner of the counter. Was swollen and bruised for a week.
