TRIGGER WARNING: SEIZURES, BODILY FLUID, CONVULSIONS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scrolling on TikTok a few weeks ago and I came across this video embed below. I watched the whole duration of the video, in contrast to my usually routine when I scroll past after a few seconds of a video. It caught my attention and more than that, I was very moved by the video. It depicted the creator, Sophia, experiencing a grand mal seizure while she was alone at home in the bathroom. She said that she films her seizures for her doctors to track them and for epilepsy awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
