Okay, during church today, someone had a seizure.
At first I heard a lot of noisy movement from a chair - My mind immediately thought 'I wonder if someone had a seizure?' But I'm a worst case scenario person, so even though I thought it, I didn't really believe it. I stood slightly to see what it was and a man at our church who is a very severe epileptic had stood up and was flailing around severely. I am fairly certain that it was a seizure.
I totally freaked out. I don't know if I was frightened, panicked, overwhelmed or what, but I began panting and covered my face with my hands. I began crying and I couldn't seem to get control of myself. It was awful.
Luckily we were in the sound room, so I didn't start bawling in front of the whole church, just my family.
I've been rather unsettled all day because of this.
I never ever thought I would react that passionately to that sort of thing. In fact I thought I would be able to ya know, help out or something, but its something so out of anyone's control. . . I didn't know I would get so upset.
