Epilepsy Tips


Having people that can and will help is something that will benefit everyone in the long run. Sharing experiences can bring something to the table that wasn’t there before due to not knowing it was around. 
 
Many are spread out from each other in some way even in the same state all because of living situations. Bigger cities usually have more people though because of more public transit
Struggling is more of something that can be changed out after a while. Why? After a while the struggle is over because of getting used to the frequency as well as what to do and how. To further add, one is able to tell others about having Epilepsy.
Helping others especially friends that have started having seizures is something that can go a long ways even though it may not seem like it. Being there for someone after a seizure will always help. Everyone needs friends 
 
Reaching out is always the first step in anything. Many are not willing to do so because of being embarrassed or scared. It is okay to be both. The flipside to that is it will be worth it in the end.
Nobody “deals with it” they live with it. It is not something to be sorry about. It shows negative thoughts and vibes when saying that sorry about living with it.
Change in thinking is something that many can and eventually do because of seeing others with Epilepsy leading a normal life. People assume things about everyone especially those with medical conditions
Positive thinking results in positive thoughts, actions and reactions. Eventually positivity breaks negative thought habits. Often times, those with Epilepsy that get stuck in a negative rut as I call it do not realize how negative they are until later on
Negative thoughts lead to negative actions and reactions. With negativity comes negative outcomes. It also adds a layer of depression because of feeling worthless and useless. Yes that is normal to an extent. Teaching others about Epilepsy as well as leading a normal life to the best of your ability can help even more. It may seem like a lot but it is not when time flies.
Most generally are positive people due to seeing multiple sides of having Epilepsy. There is an added layer to it though. Even the most positive person has many moments of negative and feeling useless. It is one of many things that are inevitable. There are downsides to everything and always will be. There are even people that seem like positive people that are very negative.
