One So Called Friend Called Me Crazy After My Seizures, Soon As That Got Around Other Friends And Coworkers I Were Treating Me Differently.

Salem, OR

Is this how I should see myself? I feel ousted from society, my Mental and physical abilities are the same as before I think! Where are my seizures located in my feelings or where?

I think everyone here has dealt with some level of rejection because they have epilepsy. Welcome to the world of discrimination Ben.
Unfortunately, people often reject what they don't understand but they also don't take time to learn what might change their attitude. "Friends" WANT to know what they can about your epilepsy because they value YOU enough to learn. Let go of anyone who just brings you down and lets you down.
BE WELL BEN.

If they treat you differently than they are not a true friend.
A true friend will be by your side all times.

A friend does not judge and accepts who you are

There are some people in this world with an ego-attitude and the ONLY people they care about are themselves. I have met people like this frequently in school, college, and in business. I avoid them as it is not worth my time to go near or speak with unless necessary (work with).
