Truthfulness with others is always best. Then they can not only know how you may react but also to react

Only a few People told me directly, that I was looking for attention with my Epilepsy/seizures .

Majority of the time , I wasn’t told that. I usually freaked people out when I had my seizures in public or some type of event outside of home. If those people didn’t know me , they usually would keep away from me. A small percentage would come to me and make sure I was ok, after recovery.

Kelly08, I'm retired. My problem is with family members. I concluded a long time ago there are people who are just plain ignorant and don't want to change. I'm fine. Thank you for caring

Many times I've been told I use seizures as an excuse and/or I fake seizures. Use to make me a bit angry, than I learned the ignorance of people like that doesn't matter. I've been much happier since I no longer let anger get the best of me.

I am mentally indifferent if I have a petite-mal (Absence)seizure. I get back to what I was doing if it was the small seizure. My youngest told me that I have not had a Tonic-clonic (Grand mal) so there are no worries.
