I actually think it’s been more of a hindrance to others in my life than me. The only thing I don’t do pretty much is drive. The other things I’m told to stay away from, getting on a ladder, cook and other things, I pretty much do anyway. I know I’m taking a chance but people without epilepsy have had problems doing these things as well so why not..Just my opinion.

Rather than a hinderance, epilepsy can be an opportunity - to advocate for yourself, connect with others going through similar experiences, and develop self-compassion. It takes time, but focusing on positives rather than limitations enables one to thrive.
