I know that others that don't have epilepsy like my neighbours and family do turn their back on us, I used to feel down about it, but now I say it's your choice, they don't know what they are missing out on, and live like their not there, not upset, making our lives easier + calmer with the Lord God ✝️.

Anyone can develop a disability at any time. If you have a good Doctor, who listens and observes well, and explains what is/will happen, that is great!

Children sometimes can be the cruelest people that exist. As soon as they find out something is wrong, not average then they are teased to no end. From my experience what makes a difference is when a person is in high school a bad reputation. Ex. I was known around the school, but not many people would mingle with me. Then I went to an event my senior year with a person that had a better reputation than mine. Then other people that I knew saw me with this person everybody knew. The people the past that were not friends became friends, had me signing Yearbooks. My reputation improved because others saw me with that person.

I don't think the world is against me, it's just some people are ignorant of what it is how it works and what to do, also they think it could happen all the time and you would be a drain and don't want to deal with it. It's THEIR PROBLEM not yours

To answer Your question, Yes. It does feel like the world 🌍 is against me sometimes. Trying to find my own place to live is an enormous struggle right now. When I was in college after all the reading and studying 📚 that information would not stay in my memory. I hated to see other people that were in the same class study less and not as hard as I did and get better grades than me. Not being able to get a job or a job that I have reached the level for and seeing other people get that job that have done half of the work I have. One person I knew since I was a child will not talk to me any more, because I had a seizure at a party. I know he does not like that I went to the states Flagship school that is better than the one he went to.
