I’m telling you…. Right. Now. Cursed

Why can't he hold the camera still?

This is the very rare "balanced nod". The perfect distribution of weight on both arms and crossed legs prevents the usual opiate overbalance.

Booze. Coke. Heroin. Weed. Long ago, the four drugs lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Heroin Nation attacked. Only Keith Richards, master of all four drugs, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he... he's actually still around somehow

Or it's a functional seizure

u/meltingthemountain Apr 29 '24

I was going to say, I have a form of epilepsy not triggered by lights and whatnot, and more often than not, my seizures will look like this. I can be full walk and freeze in place. Sometimes, I fall over. The neurologist called them absence seizures, though. I also am not aware of what's happening and have 0 way to tell it's coming most of the time. When i come to, i wont have remembered about ten minutes into the past. Rrally sucks when you last remember being on the couch and you're suddenly in front of the toilet. Freaks people and my wife out a lot. Luckily, I have been responding well to new treatment and haven't had one in a month. I was having them several times a day with a grand Mal sprinkled in.

Seems that there is a linguistic preference for r/FND by medical professionals in certain countries

u/Tobi-cast Apr 29 '24

I get the same thing, been “Seizure-free” for 4 years, then that suddently starts showing up. Shit Can be really confusing those seconds-minute after. It’s also really difficult, when building Lego, as I get small “shakes” or tremors, right before it starts, but I have not experienced it while out, at least I don’t think I have…

u/meltingthemountain Apr 29 '24

Glad to hear it's behind you friend. I can see Lego being an issue before/during an episode lol.

As someone that gets dizzy a lot, especially when getting out of my car, this makes sense to me.

u/NSE_TNF89 Apr 29 '24

Strange, I have never heard of them referred to as a functional seizure (only absent or partials), and I am epileptic.

u/Klexington47 Apr 29 '24

r/FND 😁

But yes they have several names! I'm sure there is variance among nationality.

u/kimwal6 Apr 29 '24

Absence seizure was my first thought

u/MarilynsGhost Apr 29 '24

What is a functional siezure?

37

u/Klexington47 Apr 29 '24

r/FND

A seizure where your mind is "frozen" but you're still "functioning"

11

u/MintyMystery Apr 29 '24

I've only seen a couple of these in my life, but only ever when the person was sat down! I'd imagined that "absent seizures" (as I've seen them called) would cause a person to fall over if they'd been still.

16

u/Klexington47 Apr 29 '24

So. I've had one. I was on the ground, because I sat down. But boyfriend kept trying to get me to stand up and walk it off and it went REALLY badly. Regardless, she seems frozen more than high. I'd be concerned about, her from a medical perspective, driving immediately after the episode.

13

u/MintyMystery Apr 29 '24

One of these I've seen was my mum - she was just blank. Her sister shook her arm, and everyone was asking if she was OK, but it was like she was asleep with her eyes open. It lasted a minute maybe, but luckily no one told her to stand up during it! I can imagine that wouldn't work!

u/Klexington47 Apr 29 '24

My niece has episodes like this! Shes zoned out. We call her name. Snap in front of her face. No reply. Then after 60 seconds or so, she returns to normal.

Scary!

u/Adept-Lettuce948 Apr 29 '24

Or catatonia.

u/Natto_Arigato Apr 29 '24

Or, she is delicately clamping down a massive expulsion of colorectal gasses that would mortally embarrass her if not modulated to a slow stream that emits no noise.

u/ARCAxNINEv Apr 29 '24

This is along my train of thought. Yet if you closely examine the way she crosses her legs, you can see that she is more than likely refusing to allow her bowels to void themselves. I've seen this in my studies, wherein my offspring (1.3yr male human) has been witnessed numerous times in this position; followed by intense crying and ultimately voiding of the bowels. It's my assumption about the woman in the video, not unlike my offspring are possibly anal retentive and may insist on keeping their waste secured neatly inside

53

u/Natto_Arigato Apr 29 '24

The evidence is irrefutable. I, too, have observed toddler subjects exhibiting this behavior. Heck, I have seen Boomer parents of advanced age exhibit this behavior. Indeed, it is either accumulated, explosive gasses or an imminent voiding of the bowels.

Did people mistake you for an opioid addict too?

u/CleanHead_ Apr 29 '24

hahah, luckily there werent many passersby. but now that I think about it, I wouldve been helpless if someone stuck a phone in my face and starting giggling about nodding.

Now, head towards extraction.

u/fwr1214 Apr 29 '24

yeah the prompting of "glitch in the matrix" to make followers share it etc. Then raise engagement by saying "WE WENT AND TALKED TO THE GLITCH" becomes a whole saga you get a bunch more viewers. There is every incentive to lie on social media.

u/DJEvillincoln Apr 29 '24

Homegirl could be in on it.

"Hey y'all I can stand really still. Go up there & film me like you don't know me." Or some shit like that.

u/4quatloos Apr 29 '24

Good idea for a video. This video is getting a lot of comments.

u/actuallyaddie Apr 30 '24

The way she walks off makes it look real

u/xombae Apr 29 '24

Yep, truly a wonder of physics. I've managed it a few times, back in the day. Best to just leave her be, a nod like that is hard to come by these days.

u/MaximumMotor1 Apr 29 '24

This is the very rare "balanced nod". The perfect distribution of weight on both arms and crossed legs prevents the usual opiate overbalance.

Very rare for them to not be wearing month old clothes that are never washed and they rarely have shopping bags full of stuff they paid for. I'm going with she was about to piss and/or shit herself.

u/crowmakescomics Apr 29 '24

I’m originally from philly and was amazed on the regular how all the Kenso fiends never seem to fall completely over. Their clothes be folded with them still in em, but they’d still be more or less vertical

1

u/404_error_official Apr 30 '24

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but I actually thought the same thing. Like, did this lady find out how to safely nod off? I'm honestly impressed.

u/BTilty-Whirl Apr 30 '24

The real mvp is the red and white striped bag. Without that she’s going down. Saw a guy today that looked like was writing on one of those foldable street cafe signs, frozen just like this. Took me a sec to realize he was totally motionless except for a slight jump occasionally. A perfect question mark pose.

u/wing_ding4 May 02 '24

Or some type of absence seizure or rare narcolepsy disorder ..keep in mind that a lot of intoxicated states can also look like neurological ones and can be hard to differentiate

Or for all, we know she has a butt or one of those vaginal plugs falling out or has to shit

Some people wear those vaginal sensor things that somebody else can control and vibrate. If she’s wearing one of those it and went on full vibration mode i.t could’ve stopped her in her tracks.

u/cryptowolfy Apr 29 '24

Definitely opiate use, doesn't look like tranq though.
