I've never had one before and honestly I don't even remember the majority of the event. I noticed that I felt twitchy and was having muscle spasms, but I thought that was just EPS from my psych meds.

From here on out, I don't really remember much. This is all according to my mother, who told me all of this later last night, and this morning.

Evidently, I fell over on my side and started thrashing around and convulsing and drooling on myself, and then after about 45 seconds I became unconscious.

My mum was gonna start CPR and call 911, but then she noticed my chest was heaving up and down, which meant that I was still breathing and not dead.

Also I guess I must've still had some temporary brain impairment immediately after I regained some level of consciousness, because she asked me if I knew my own name, and I did, but then she asked, "Do you know who I am?" and "Do you know where you are?" and I said, "I don't know" to both questions.

I didn't recognize her as a member of the same species, either. At one point I was picking up her arms and examining them, and looking at her like she was an alien. (which I also don't remember.)

And I was sleepy for hours afterwards and couldn't wake up to save my life. (pun not intended)

So yea. Pretty scary stuff. I've never had a seizure before, let alone a grand mal seizure. But it's also really weird to think that all of that happened, because my memory got wiped out during the event.
