I have epilepsy, I had my first fit when I was 4 years old, but it is not any normal epilepsy.

It was about 3am and it was the second night I had been in are new house. I was fast asleep in my bed when I started to feel very short of breath, I woke up and saw a face above breathing very heavily, it looked so dark with very pail skin (I almost felt drawn to it, to go into the darkness).

I felt it's hands round my neck it was so cold. Then I started to shack out of control, I tried to shout for my parents but it was still strangling me. Luckily my brother had stayed up on his computor that night and he heard the noise so he woke my parents.

By the time they got to my room I was unconciouse from sufication. When I woke up I was on a breathing machine and and being driven to the hospital. My epilepsy went away when I was 10 but came back last year when I was 12 and now that thing is always there following me around even now, you get used to it.
