Re: Anyone here develop epilepsy? - Yesterday, 04:51 PM

You definitely shouldn’t feel embarrassed about this as it is something you can’t control. I’m sure you wouldn’t laugh at someone who has a medical emergency in front of you, so I’d hope others will extend that to you. Do you think you could develop a plan with people you regularly interact with to help you during a seizure? Not everyone knows what to do (I wouldn’t fully know either). I understand not telling complete strangers, but say you’re hanging out with friends you may have one and need to be kept safe.

I’m assuming you see a doctor so I would definitely keep track of how often this is happening and what you experience so they can adjust your treatment plan if needed. If you aren’t seeing one I do recommend it. I just worry that things will end up getting worse for you or you’ll cause other damage or injury during a seizure. I don’t want to see you being hurt. There’s no shame in seeing a doctor or being treated for seizures. You wouldn’t shame someone for having a severe asthma attack or anaphylaxis for example, so there’s no shame in seizures.


The sun is always gonna rise up
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
