"The night of inspiration kicking in"
"Till one is so sleepy, she can no longer write"

As inspiration kicks in, I feel myself feeling so tired on creativity overload, but I can not help myself, I just want to keep writing, but medication has been taken and it's really kicking in as in really kicking in with not enough time to begin my next writing venture with inspiration.
There were times when I could not sleep due to the seizure interactions with my sleep so scared and horrified, waking up at the start of the sleep journey then waking up again with a complex partial all the time it would be an on and off battle on night and then finally waking up having enough where I would go outside with my dogs to what I called it and know it as flow dance for the remaining part of the night, well you know how it goes when you have struggles with nocturnal epilepsy It can be hard when it gets that bad so you find a way of escape to deal with it and I did.
Present day, well being on new medication and having a baby, hormones have change and it's not the same, the same as it once was, I shall count my blessings for this, as they say everything happens for a reason and I truly and deeply in my core soul know that from being here long enough to know that is truth, to where I started to where I am now able to sleep.
Do I still have seizures in my sleep you ask, off course I do, but this time I'm not aware of it because it's in my sleep and not my whole brain waking up but relaxing myself before I go to sleep in a comfortable yoga pose with my three beautiful, soul loving dogs in the room with me, while I do my slow breathing and when an epileptic aura happened I say to myself "keep calm, you will be fine, just let it be, don't fight it just relax."
Dogs know you know, I mean they really and truly know when the body is under stress, when a person is unwell or in suffering and also they know of seizures and epilepsy and what to do, they know how to calm you down. It is truly a amazing and magical in a sense in how dogs can calm you down and know what to do especially with the nervous system.
I mean I should know, there have been a number of times waking up from a seizure where my legs are cycling from a seizure, they have been right beside me licking me to come around, showing me I am safe and not alone. Now I so do not feel alone when they are in the room with me all laying down, protecting me, they are my saviours.
Animals are truly beautiful and loving souls, now I really must go before I crash out while writing on here, tuck in and ready to crash as I keep writing, oh but how I could write all night if I could, I know some writers do when they can or when they have deadlines but me well the medication forces me to shut off, sleep is my key importance one of the huge affects if I do not sleep it can set me off, I should know I have been there with the clustered seizures when they would not let me sleep and keep going oh what a horror show that was.... insomnia and clustered epileptic seizures no words can describe how horrific that use to be.
Oh how I love to write, truly I do it's where the mind runs free, free to expand and free to run and write it down wherever the creative writers mind takes you... free to just go....
What a small piece to write and truly see what others think, but also see if they can relate to this anywa possible.
Oh inspiration, how you hit at such the wrong times sometimes, but hey I will see you in my dreams and I shall be back at it tomorrow.

This was such an honest and heartfelt piece. It’s amazing how creativity often strikes right as we’re about to drift off, it happens to me all the time! Your strength and openness in sharing your experience with seizures is truly inspiring. 💜✨
