is being dead and then alive next day typical for someone with epilepsy?

Question

my friend was raped and abused too many times in her childhood. now poor girl is suffering so much, she is very depressed and is self harming. she has nightmares any time she sleeps, so she isnt sleeping anymore.

she would never lie, she is a very nice person. but she scared me so many times with her "deaths". one moment we would be talking on msn and then suddenly someone else would be talking to me without introducing himself/herself and saying "she is lying on the floor" or "she is shaking". then after few minutes that person (roommate) would say "she is dead". you can guess how many times I was worried. but then next day my friend came online saying "hey" like if nothing happened.

my friend isnt a person that would lie to people, make pranks with something so serious. she said she needs to take some pills, but she doesnt takes them. is that the reason for all this? she gets so many epileptic seizures?

my friend also said that one day God went into her. she was floating and her eyes were white, and others saw her, so she has witnesses that she was truly floating. a person during an epileptic seizure can have such visions? also someone please answer me this: can a person after the seizure remembers what was going on during an epileptic seizure? can they remember any of those illusions?

another thing (I would really like many answers to my questions): can a person during an epileptic seizure have illusions of themselves lying on the floor? can a person during a seizure still talk on msn? OR can a person with so many illusions and seizures have illusions even WITHOUT a seizure? can my friend suddenly pretends to be someone else and see herself lying on the floor, and she would say to me on msn "she is lying on the floor"?

a really amazing thing: my friends friend commited suicide and that friend returned to life in another form. her friend is a wolf now and my friend keeps telling me that her friend is with her while talking on msn, but as a wolf, not as a human anymore. is it possible for epileptics to have this kind of illusions? my friend would never lie, she was raped too many times in her childhood, she wouldnt mess with her friends like this.

my friend also said that her eyes changed colours few times. at first she said that she was born with blue eyes and because of all emotional pain, her eyes turned completely black and she is now wearing blue contacts. but while talking to me on msn, few times she said that her eyes changed colours. if her eyes would somehow change colours, then a person could see the different colour through colored contact lenses???? or can the contact lenses change colours?

all this is really amazing. she is a very nice person, she would do anything to save someone. but she takes all her miracles so seriously. sometimes she says "I'm sorry if my heart will break" meaning that she will die and be alive next day. few times she mentioned to me that she needs some pills for high blood pressure and her friend said that she also needs to take some pills, so that her heart will hold on.

is all this caused because of those seizures and then her mind gets illusions like this? she even said that in one day she went 200 miles somewhere with her friends to watch some movie. ok, this is possible, but during that time she was in some social home where teenagers get help, but any visits or going out of that home are forbiden. so she escaped from that place? and ALWAYS when I ask her for explanation, how she does all that, she says "long story". is my friend like those patients in mental hospitals? last time I talked to her she said something about swapping brains.

thanks to anyone that will answer, but after I get the answers, I will have to delete this question, so my friend wont find out that I was asking about her.

Answer 1

Yes, lying on the floor is certainly a possible sign that the person is having a seizure. If your friend has epilepsy and doesn't take her medication that could certainly explain her having seizures.

You should also be aware that when a person has seizures, he/she can also have hallucinations about God, for example. So your friend may have seen many things that actually weren't real when she was having a seizure. So she may be telling you some things that she saw that weren't actually real.

You really should encourage your friend to take the medication she has been prescribed. And maybe she should go back to the doctor and get some anti-depression medication as well or something that could help with her insomnia, as well as start other treatments such as counseling for her horrible abusive past.
