I Had an Episode and Didn't Recognise Our Cat 

hi everyone🤎a bit of a spontaneous video today. this was filmed on saturday the 11th of november. at first i set up the camera myself, as i thought a tonic-clonic seizure might be coming and i often want to see them afterwards to know what my body did. but the tonic-clonic i was expecting never happened and instead it was a very odd episode, so mum filmed the rest for me to see as afterwards i don't remember everything. these aren't new for me, i've had hundreds but every episode similar to this is slightly different, and because Lottie was on my knee, a lot of this episode revolved around her🐈‍⬛
why i am choosing to share this:
i have said before that encephalitis can cause a change in character/personality and people have asked me what i meant. i thought this video shows it perfectly. anyone that knows me knows that Lottie and I are peas in a pod, she is always with me and searching for me. i love her so much and so watching me like this and even getting annoyed at her is very strange and was quite hard for me to watch back. (and it obviously started to hit me at the end!)
even my voice is not like mine, the way i stroke Lottie, is all very different to my usual self. not many have heard of encephalitis so as always i show things that are rarely seen or talked about in hope of raising awareness as well as talking you through the episode with me so people can learn🤎🫶🏻
ANNOUNCEMENT: this was very highly requested and now that a medical plan is in place, we have started a gofundme. I will leave the link here: www.gofundme.com/f/cnwwx4-hel... if anyone would like to donate but please don't feel you have to, simply watching and engaging with my content is also a big help. HUGE thank you to those who already have, my first ever infusion has already been covered (WOW) and i can now get a new wheelchair. i am feeling extremely loved and lucky🥰✨🫶🏻
thank you xx
if you're new here i have a condition called Autoimmune Basal Ganglia Encephalitis. this means inflammation of the brain, which causes me to have these episodes. with treatment, they go away🤍🧠
