Re: [epilepsy] Understanding...

 

Amy i had epilepsy for over a quarter of a century. i learned that in most
cases its harder for those who are around an epileptic to deal with
epilepsy then it is for the epileptic themself. I say the reason is those with a
handicapp are stronger and wiser people and that makes dealing with it a
little easier then the others witnessing it. it might take you as long as a
year to be able to honestly tell people how you fell by experience. let them
know it cant be explained, you have to live it to understand how it feels.

I am currently trying to explain to my husband, family, and boss at work
about my seizures and why my attitude has changed so drastically. I have only
been dealing with this for about a month and a half now and I am already
tired of being asked a million times a day how do I feel?? I don't even
really know the answer to that question yet. My friends and family try to
understand or they pretend like it is not even happening.

My husband is the biggest offender of this. Lately I am just so angry with
him, I had a seizure on Saturday and he acted like it did not even happen!
I am sure he just wants this to all go away so things can go back to the
way they were before but I have no control over that. When ever he trys to
talk to me I just get so angry at him for no reason.

Work is trying to be understanding, since I can not drive they are letting
me work from home but they do not understand why my quality of work has
decressed and why I am not as interested in work right now.

Just want a way to communicate with others what I am going through and
what they can do to help, because right now I have no idea.

Thanks
Amy
