And I know there's people out there that are suffering with temporal lobe epilepsy right now. And I was able to stop mine, like 100%. Stop. Zero seizures. Did it come out of nowhere? No, they think it's probably a result of genetic predisposition mixed with a bunch of deployments being around explosions and stuff like that. So getting a little tiny bit of a brain injury.

So during temporal lobe epilepsy, those seizures, you're experiencing what I would call maybe between 90 days and a year of memories in 60 seconds. So you're getting access to so much information and so much weird stuff, almost like you're living a year of someone else's life.

And then the moment the seizure is over, it takes, for one seizure, it took me like two weeks to reconcile what was real and what was fake. And then you have derealization in temporal lobe epilepsy, which is where you wonder, like, am I real? Am I sitting in – is this room real? Am I actually sitting here right now? I had a point before our daughter was born. I thought my dog was fake.

I thought my dog was artificial and not real. Not like I'm imagining it. I just thought, like, that is not a real dog. It is so weird, man. It messes with your head so much. Like a projection or something? I didn't put any logic to it.

Yeah. And I'm going to tie this back to Elrond, I promise. But as the seizure is starting, they call this an aura. You have this weird thing that goes on. Yeah. Like something's going on around me where you know that's going to happen. As it starts, the deja vu is so powerful that... and so strong that in your brain, there is no possibility that everyone around me didn't set this up.

So it's a weird feeling of like everything around me is so weirdly familiar that I know that everyone here had to set this up. So it's almost like a weird paranoia. And then you think like all of this is this can't be real. And then the moment that happens is like you're going like you jump off a building. It's like a falling feeling in your stomach. And then it's just lights out.

So it's terrifying, but it's almost like there's some weird access to something that other people don't have access to. And they call this the sacred disease, temporal lobe epilepsy. And hypergraphia, I mean, look. I wrote that while I was suffering all that. So I definitely had hypergraphia. It took me five years to write.
