When Time Breaks

Epilepsy is not always the seizure itself.

Sometimes it is the confusion afterwards — not knowing where you are, what has happened, or why everything suddenly feels unfamiliar.

Sometimes it is frustration, anger or post-seizure rage — emotions that can arrive before the person has fully understood what has happened.

And sometimes it is lost time. Minutes, hours, or pieces of a day that other people remember, but you do not.

Three versions of the same person.

Three different parts of the same experience.

Disorientation. Rage. Lost time.
