I really wanted someone that would ask me about my Epilepsy, and give me the chance to talk about all the things I've struggled with so it means a lot to have someone else read about some of what I went through.

​

Growing up I saw myself as someone who couldn't control their weight, couldn't get above a 3.0, couldn't get/keep decent friends. These were my deepest insecurities, and I knew it was for the best that I keep it to myself because I was the root cause. So when I was hospitalized and diagnosed with Epilepsy I treated it like all the rest of the things that hindered me from living the life I want, I kept quiet about it and did what I could to keep it from taking over my life.

​

I wish I decided to tell someone about what I was going through and how it made me feel. The good news is I have a lot of things going for me now, and since I've had the experience I can share it with anyone I want to.

​

This realization is definitely going to be a highlight for me :)
