I dont know why this is happening, God certainly wouldnt put a curse on me, unless i was living back in the old testiment.
I belive maybe trying to experience his presence is too overwhelinging to comprehend for my mind, so it has malfunctions and fluctutions resuling in siezures.
To see my symptoms of my siezures, i have a post on Psychobabble about "am i having siezures" by me.
I dont know really why this happens, why would Christ let that happen to me when im actually trying to get close to him?

Matt I don't think God would make something like that happen to you. It sounds like a panic attack to me really. Have you ever tried benzos? I think having an evaluation by a neurologist is in order anyway just in case. I'll say a prayer for you. I hope things will calm down until you can talk to someone about it.

Do you hear voices internally when this happens? I mean does it feel like sometimes hearing conversations about yourself and then hearing you talking internally to someone? I don't believe this is God. I believe this is symptoms of dissociation. It's common to have pseudo-seizures with dissociation. I replied on the other board. I have them and I am dissociative. I have those electric shocks in the body and in the head.
I have been checked and I do not have seizures. I have listened to relaxation tapes and get the shocks too. It has taken me 10 years to figure out what is really going on. I went for test after test to see what was going on. I have odd findings, but it's because I am dissociation/MPD. You mentioned about the other inside that's your friend. That's a common finding with this disorder. Now, most people will say, "Heck, no I don't have MPD. That's Sybil." They focused on her disabilities and made it for tv. It's not that weird. You may not be fully MPD, but somewhere on the dissociative scale. I read a lot of myself in your posts. We just describe ourselves a bit differently. I had an identical twin, so no one could tell if I were her or vise versa. But, it went deeper than I can explain in writing.
Why not give this a try? Ask Richie who or what is causing the shocks. Let me know what happens.
I maybe totally wrong, but it's just my hunch kicking in here.

Shadowplayers, thank you for the excellent post. I couldn't put it better than you have. My diagnosis is Multiple Personality Disorder also. When I was 18 I was sure I was having seizures and even had my license revoked while it was being investigated, because I was having all these black outs. In the end it turned out I didn't have seizures either.
I think that it is very important to realize that God is not doing this to you. God is not punishing you. But I understand so well the thought process because of my Catholic upbringing that involved a lot of strict rules and obedience, that whenever things go wrong I assume God is punishing me. I am trying hard to change that instinctive feeling but it is hard.
Hope that you will check with your T soon to discuss this!

Ritchie *sometimes* can help in these situations, by helping shuting them down, there is overload of uncontrolled thoughts that im going crazy, and then i guess i so called *siezure*. I usually hold on to him, as a clarfied i brace for impact from an unkown force.
But during a severe attacks, my thoughts about are too intense, Ritchie becomes distorted, and i ahve to shut him down, at these points, i've done authoritive hynosis, and command my self to shut down everthing, sometimes i do lose counsiousness and go into sleep, but it doest work 100%
Still I need to talk to my pdoc, about seeing a nuerologist, i have been told i have been having disociation, this is very possible.
This may be a therory, i was adviced in a post that disociation occurs in an altered state of counsiousness, this does happen when im looking for God, i cant hear him, so i try to turn on "all channels" like a radio, to hopefully find him, but this i belive triggers these attacks, because there is excess electrity being routed to all section maybe in my brain, but this causes paranoia, because im so increadibly hyper-alert.
Ill post back soon updating.
No attacks today thankfully.
Matt
