"When the brain says 'enough', it does so very literally."
Imagine that there is an electrical installation in your head. Everything is working... until suddenly someone turns on the kettle, washing machine, dryer and vacuum cleaner all at once. And bang — the fuse blows.
Epilepsy works in a similar way. The brain is overloaded. Nerve impulses begin to "wind up", creating excess stimulation, and the body reacts violently. Seizures can look different. Sometimes it's a few seconds of suspension — someone stares at one point and "floats away". This is called petit mal. A short "hello, I'm out of range". Other times it's a strong attack with convulsions and loss of consciousness — grand mal. Spectacular, intense, frightening.
There is often one common theme: the conflict between "I want to act" and "I can't". Added to this is intense fear. Fear of loss. Fear of rejection. Fear that something will overwhelm me. Sometimes this tension builds up over years — from childhood, from experiences of separation or feelings of insecurity. And now imagine a body that says: "Since you don't express your emotions on a regular basis, I'll do it for you. Only... a little more dramatically." An attack is sometimes described as a wave that releases accumulated anger, helplessness and tension. As if the body were pressing the RESET button.
This is not a "whim", it is biology in emergency mode. Interestingly, the attack often occurs when the tension begins to subside. When the conflict is resolved or the body enters a recovery phase. The brain tries to regain its balance... sometimes in a rather dramatic way.
Of course, epilepsy is a serious neurological disorder and requires diagnosis and treatment. But at the same time, it is worth asking the question: Where in my life do I feel trapped? What can't I say or do? Because sometimes the greatest tension is not in the muscles. It is in a story that no one has heard yet.
