Experiencing Epilepsy

A representation of what I go through when I have a major epileptic seizure. During my seizures, I am both terrified and unable to communicate what my brain is telling me in what I see and sense; i.e. that my entire universe is blowing up with explosions of light and colour. This is caused by a misfire or surge in the normal activity of the neuron cells in my brain. In the aftermath I will be crying, confused, exhausted, headachy and just want to hide from the world.
