MOVING AHEAD
To accept epilepsy into life, you must look it at it positively and realize that there is no such thing as a perfect person. There is no need to feel a sense of embarrassment because you have epilepsy. Each day of our life that we try to master the daily troubles that come our way, and how to overcome the problems that have already occurred in our lives, should be considered a triumph. Ignoring your problems, not dealing with them, is the easy way out, to face them and deal with then are accomplishments. Accepting our problems and dealing with them helps us grow mentally, physically and spiritually. When I opened up, telling people about my seizure disorder, I was shocked to find out how many people had epilepsy or knew someone who had the disorder. I think one of our biggest drawbacks is that there is a lack of research on epilepsy and people do not speak about the disorder enough. Many individuals are uneducated about epilepsy and look at the people who have the disorder as weird or think of it as a disease. Obviously, both statements are untrue. stacey chillemistaceychil(at)aol.com
