Who are all Stereotyping you? Is it the people in general, or are they the Dr.’s ?
Most people in general don’t understand Epilepsy. What they do think think they know, are all myths. Overall they are more in fear of you. Now if it’s the Dr.’s, then they are just idiots or weren’t Educated well enough to know how to treat you.

I understand, that you feel like you’re in a downward spiral 🌀, but you need to keep fighting and keep in contact with us so we can help support and help you through all this. I myself went through similar issues when I was a teen, now in my 40s. I felt suicidal, because I felt that I was the only one with this disorder. I was being harassed, criticized, and lost a few people, because I scared the %#*+ out of them felt no one understood me. It wasn’t until I started going to an Epilepsy Support Group,through the Epilepsy Foundation. They helped me a lot. They helped me realize, I wasn’t the only one with this condition. I learnt a bunch from my group and the staff. They raised me out of my downward spiral that I was in at that time.

Today I can cope with, my disorder. I understand alot more, because of my support group. A Epilepsy Foundation staff from that group told us that we control our lives not Epilepsy. Epilepsy just throws obstacles in our path. I realize that Epilepsy is just a fact of life for me. It will never go away until I’m gone. We have to try keep positive, keep our stress down and take it one day at a time. Keep Battling your an Epilepsy Warrior now.
