Seizures. Not always what you think.

 I think everyone has had an encounter with an active seizure at least once in their life, and if they haven't, they should at least be prepared to know how to handle it. Whether it's by calling for immediate help, and/ or dispersing crowds. Not all seizures are visible though, which makes things a bit more complicated. Some, can be as quiet as the person looking like they're daydreaming, staring without actually focusing on anything, while on the inside, the person can be dealing with so much. Mine feel as if my mind goes completely blank, muscles so stiff it's as if I'm trying to walk through gelatin. When that ends, the next part is the whopper of a headache that crashes into you. A pain that lasts for hours. Sadly, there's not much that a bystander can do, except guide the person to safety, administer meds, and stay by their side until they feel like they can resume their day.
