Do U ever feel embarrassed by your Epilepsy?

I completely agree with rushelle. When I had my first seizure I was staying the night with my then boyfriend and through my hospitalizations my friends basically had to force him to go see me, but I had no idea because I was out of it. But it pretty much goes without saying after I learned all this we didn't last long and I'm not upset about it one bit . People that really care about you understand that you can't help it and that it is and illness. To a certain extent becoming epileptic was a blessing in disguise, it helped my weed out who really cared about me and who didn't. Along with bringing my family closer together than ever supporting me and each other through my times of illness. I hope all is well.

I am by no means embarrassed by my epilepsy. Everyone has medical issues and this is just something that can happen. If people were to make fun of you because this happened, then those people are not your real friends and you don't need them in your life. Real friends understand your problems and don't make fun of you for them, especially if it's medical. Keep your head up and be glad you survived the seizure, some people aren't so lucky.
