Long time no see! I came here to talk about something important. I think the past month or two have been so life changing for me, Ive hit a whole new low. Finding out I have Epilepsy, hasnt been the easiest thing to accept but, I still try my hardest. I have had these seizures for MONTHS now, but they were so small that I didnt take them seriously at all, since I didnt think it would be something like EPILEPSY. I am thankfully diagnosed with a softer type of Epilepsy, so it is not as hard as others may have it, but I will say... Seizures are the scariest, most heart shakening thing that can happen to you. Especially, I am conscious during mine, so feeling those twitches and scares is a nightmare... A whole new fear opened for me. AKA, sleeping. I get so scared to sleep alone, my heart starts to beat so fast and I get scared more and more by the second... But now, I am on medication. It has been the best thing ever! My seizures are controlled, so I dont have them as long as I am on my medication. Theres some side affects, like depression and feeling sleepy, which I have experienced and still kinda do, depending on the day... But I still try my hardest to be happy and positive! I turn to my hobbies, like drawing and doll collecting for comfort. Its the best, especially getting told I cannot work nor drive, since I have had times where I went unconscious and fainted, and to prevent that, I have to have an escort... But that doesnt stop me! I am so happy to sleep like a baby each night atleast, despite my big fear, I finally feel safe to get some good rest, to feel normal again... Anywho. I am okay now! What I wanna say is, take care of yourself! Get good sleep, eat good food, drink a ton of water, spend time outside... Enjoy life! I love you
