folks out there that have so many different manifestations of this
condition! Some concerns that many express are
- sudden lack of independence
- losing a driver’s license
- confined to home and neighbourhood,
- employment concerns or a lack of upward
movement in employment,
- learning disabilities, especially for the young,
despite normal or higher intelligence.
- being confronted by different attitudes that
shift based on types of seizures
I am so fortunate. At different times, I have shared degrees of all of these concerns, but presently am comfortably independent, employed in a job I love and am able to learn effectively. Any negative or judgmental attitudes of others, while they may be annoying, are in fact their attitudes. I am more often presented with questions about my epilepsy or discussion about beliefs about epilepsy.
“Here is the rule to remember in the future
when anything tempts you to be bitter:
not, ‘This is a misfortune’ but
‘To bear this worthily is good fortune.’”
~ Marcus Aurelius
