Its not considered as a MAJOR disability but too some of us it can be. Personally I find that there isn't enough education and information on the subject. 'Oh so your epileptic? Do you do that weird seizure thing, y'know, on the floor' No I don't. 'Oh well' But my epilepsy affects me differently. I have partial complex seizure and sometimes focal and so on. I zone out , lose focus. Sometimes I cant control my body so I collapse. I sometimes scream in my sleep. I may forget where I am, who I'm with and what I'm doing.
My epilepsy is caused by stress and lack of sleep. I hear 'try not to stress out' EVERYDAY but its not easy. With epilepsy it can come hand in hand with anxiety and depression. I may not want to leave the house some days.
But guess what..
Epilepsy doesn't define me. I'm strong. We all have a dodgy five mins. Mine may take a day to recover. But then it's a new day. I put my chin up, lashes on, wash my hair and take the day.
Take Care,
SIMPLY KATSINELLA
