Thanks for the hug.
When I was a toddler 2-4 years of age I felt like any other kid . I played a lot , rode my big wheel and did other thing a kid that age would do.
It was until I start going to school , when I started to feel like an outsider.
I was always somewhat of a "loner". I really didn't think any different of myself. took some time to accept the diagnosis, once I accepted it my life became routine again just in a different way.
Ppl are scared of what they don’t understand and don’t care to understand. I’ve never felt more or less of myself due to having epilepsy. I lived my life as anyone else who didn’t have epilepsy and I was fine with that until it was the cause of being put on permanent disability. Sure I had to make sure that whenever I went there wasn’t too many or anything that I knew would trigger my seizures but so do ppl who have other conditions. My way of thinking has and will always be that they are always ppl out there that have it worse off than myself so why should I be any different?
