For as long as I can remember, I’d find myself passed out on the floor not remembering what happened with a throbbing pain in my head. I was always confused why bright lights would trigger a migraine which later would result in me having absent seizures that I wasn’t even aware of. Fast forward to March 2022 when I was at a party with flashing lights and abruptly had consecutive tonic and clonic seizures which terrified everyone around me. Tests were done and I thought I was fine, until a while back when I had more consecutive and intense seizures. I was rushed by an ambulance to the ICU where I had to stay for a couple of weeks. The experience was terrifying and depressing to say the least, but I was finally diagnosed and I learned that I have epilepsy. For those who don’t know, epilepsy is a central nervous system (neurological) disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations and sometimes loss of awareness. Epilepsy is hard to live with, its not just temporary seizures and waking up from them, its having painful bruises on every part of your body and not remembering how you got them, and having to spit out blood because you’ve bitten your tongue and the insides of your mouth during a seizure. To say it’s exhausting is an understatement. I’m thankful to say that I have the most amazing support system around me, my closest friends and family have been patient and reassuring trying to understand epilepsy and help me through it, you know who you are and I love you. Another special thanks to the amazing neurologist and nurses that made my stay in the ICU a somewhat bearable experience. If I were to say that I’m motivated and hopeful about my diagnosis then I’d be lying, I am terrified. However I’m also trying my best and for now, I think thats enough. If you are also diagnosed with epilepsy, or any type of seizure disorder, know that you are not alone, I’m sharing my story because I want to be the person I needed to talk to, and to raise awareness about a condition thats not nearly talked about enough. I have epilepsy. It doesn’t have me. 💜
