My sister, friends, family, and neighbours have seen me like "faze out" and my neighbour is epileptic and thinks it's absence seizures.
Anyway...I have told probably every adult member of my family that I want to go to the doctors just to be safe. But they wont let me because they think i'm making it up even though they've seen it happen. Because I suffer from psychosis they think it is that, but have spoke with shrink and she said it's not. Anyway...my mum said it is unessacary to go to the doctors aswel as everyone else, even though they think it's a possibility that I might be sick. I can't go to the doctors because I am not working and have no money so I have to go with someone but as i said, they wont let me. And there are no free clinics around my area at all. It's like people want to see me get sick..
What should I do in this situation...? Should I let what ever is going on with me continue or go to the doctors with no money and get kicked out of there anyway...?
Please help!

I would try going to the doctors anyway, without money, you could always plead to be checked up. Id wait untill you know they have an empty waiting room also.
Theres also doctors on the internet that are always happy giving advice, you can just type a search of the symptoms your feeling and im sure it will come up with many websites with people having the same symptoms, its worth a try.
If non of this works id aim to a parent or grand parent and have a serious talk with them about it. Show them your scared.

It is very possible that you are having pseudo seizures AKA non-epileptic seizures. These seizures are actually very common. Some people that have them intentionally fake a seizure while others really think they have epilepsy but don't. If you have epilepsy there is a great chance that an MRI and an EEG would confirm it.
A question you should ask the people who have seen you while you were possibly having a seizure is if your eyes were open or closed. There have been studies done that show if someone is having an epileptic seizure 90%+ of the time they keep their eyes wide open. A person who has pseudo seizures almost always close their eyes.

umm my ever so famous question How old are you?? Why does your mother have to pay for your Dr's visit?? Go to the ER, I am sure they will help you there. And if your a minor you might get lucky and DSS will remove you from the home where your mother refused to get you medical help. But if you are grown, get a job and take yourself.

phone nhs direct or go to the website. some hospitals have drop in clinics . its not the medication your taking side effects? anyhow stress can make you feel like this also low blood pressure and low blood sugar. if it is absent seizures they dont usually progress to fits so i wouldnt worry too much .

Tell your shrink what is happening and that you can not make your family believe it. Ask for her to talk to your family about getting you to a doctor.

nhs gp's are free. you sound like you may have petit mal seizures like me, you need a brain scan to confirm, make an appointment and go, he will refer you to a neurologist which is free also. prescriptions are free under 16, epilepsy sufferers get free prescriptions for life, whatever they are for
