I don’t know how to say this without sounding like a total doofus. I’ve never had a seizure before and this one was so bad that I couldn’t get my tongue back in my mouth for at least 10 minutes. I don’t remember much but I know I was out for about 10 minutes. It’s been a week and I’m so humiliated. I’m a 22 year old female and it happened in a group setting with my boyfriend and a few friends. I have no idea why this happened but I’ve never had an episode like this before. It was scary because my tongue was all the way down my throat and I was drooling everywhere and I couldn’t control my body at all. It’s been so embarrassing and I don’t know how to move forward. I feel like such a failure. <br><br>I’m just really worried that this happened because I ate too much food. I was with some friends and we were having a bunch of appetizers and I got a little too ambitious with my snacking. I ate a lot of bread and cheese and a few other things and then suddenly I was on the floor having a grand mal seizure. I don’t know if this is what happened but I can’t stop thinking about it. <br><br>I’m just so humiliated. I feel so weak. I don’t know if I can ever face these people again. I feel like they’re all talking about me behind my back.
