When have seizure in public people are just concerned of course. Must put up hand sit down wait for it to pass then tell them due to my epilepsy. Many then tell me of their own or a loved ones epilepsy too. In my 52yrs have met bus drivers, cops, strangers in clubs with epilepsy. Worst fear was only loss of bladder control but new products have eliminated this now. Still have partials but know how to deal with so just shrug them off.
I try to hide in the bathrooms if I feel one coming on which sometimes it is hard.
I Stopped felling embarrassed . When or if I seizure in public surrounded by people , I pretend that no one is near. I then pick myself up, wipe myself off and go about my own business.
