God Complex
Speaking of epilepsy, I forgot to mention my seizure, not only is it scary to watch, it's bloody scary to go through as well.
Now, I don't have epilepsy, actually, I'm in particularly good health for someone as lazy as myself and my graphics teacher had forced me to go on a school trip. There was only a couple of people going and I got out of biology, so I thought I'd go.
Having been fine all morning and getting half way through the tour of... Manchester Airport (yeah, that's what my school calls a trip) I started to feel a bit faint, then I told my friend and she said "We'll get to sit down and eat in a minute." So, the last thing the tour guide was saying I felt my head throbbing and going really heavy. Then I started losing my balance.
Unaware of anything, I really thought I was going to die for no apparent reason. But, the worst part of it was really going blind, not a common characteristic of seizures but I had it. Well, hate to break it to you people, your life does not flash before your eyes, I was thinking "OH MY GOD, I'M GOING BLIND, I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING AGAIN, BUT, WHAT IF I DIE?" instead of letting the good times roll. Then a girl in front of me said "You okay, Emma" and I replied with "No" and collapsed on the floor.
Thinking I'd have been passed out for two minutes I started to gain consciousness, still being blind and couldn't speak properly (for God's sake it's hard being scouse already) I was just mentioning "I can't see, I can't see, I really can't see" then it started coming back to me, but only the bold dominant outlines were coming out.
Then I had to go to hospital for the first time of my life and be tested on, I was insisting I was fine, and I really was fine but they decided to do tests on me, and, oh, turned out I was fine.
It happened in the airport cafteria where everyone was eating and a large area occupied by a lot of members of the public. I started falling over a bit so I was in a wheelchair, but, all's well now.
Turns out I hadn't been knocked out for two minutes, it was 15.
My friend said my lips turned blue and my pupils fully dilated but I did not foam at the mouth.
Worst part is I was with my teacher and not my mum in a city completely foreign to me.
