I do not understand why any woman would want to be a member of my team. Most of them are in a relationship. Some are young enough to be my daughters. Hell, one is even related to me. All the ones who are in my age group and martial status have something in common: THEY DO NOT WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME BECAUSE THEY THINK I AM A HIDEOUS, REPULSIVE AND WORTHLESS CREATURE. Now, answer the question: Why in the hell do you want to be on my team?

has anyone ever dealt with people blaming you for your epilepsy or saying things like "you better not have a seizure" or "I can't trust you because you'll just have a seizure". I have a family member who is always using my epilepsy against me like it's my fault, or that I do it on purpose.

Some family and friends wont admit they have real problems.

We feel a bit like some don't understand what we actually go through, but what about all the illnesses and diseases and conditions and cancers etc, and the people that have them, what is it like to have that and we don't know what it's like to have that condition that they have? Nothing against anyone and your thoughts about this ❓ but what do you think about this?

How has everyone gotten Thier family to understand what we are going through. How scary it is. How we don't have the same abilities. I have times I can't concentrate like I use to. I get frustrated when I don't remember our things don't like they use to. I was able to go do much, but now it's gone. My wife and son just don't get it.
