Remember that some people say and do things based on their own insecurities because they like to feel as though they are in control &/or better than you.

Way back in my late 20s when I was working meds were working! Our supervisor called us together to talk a out a project and we were to pick the one of us to lead. We all wrote names down and when they tallied them up almost everyone wrote my name. I asked my friend how did this happen? She said you have a strong personality, you are always friendly and trustworthy. You will be a strong honest leader. Well that shocked me because I felt the opposite. I did take the position and it worked out great. I also had a more positive outlook of myself after that!

You are very right but we must not let this bother us. Those people will regard one day for how they treated us or what they said to us.
We are awesome people because we can handle this disease and our lives continue.

In High School a couple of classmates nicknamed me RedWood . I like the nickname . Since that time the classmates always called out Redwood, when we would see each other in class or school hallways.

Yes I have. Names don't bother me it's being treated different like they have to walk on egg shells around you so avoiding you is what they do. Seizures, mood swings, and depression aren't exactly understandable to all
