You’re reluctant to go out. Because having a seizure can be so unpredictable and embarrassing.
You think: “What if I have a seizure? What will people do? What will they think of me?”
I almost died.
For a while I couldn’t even read.
My brain needed rebooting.
They told me my heart had stopped and I was lucky to be alive.

It starts in the playground. A kid has a seizure and everybody freaks out. Nobody knows what to do.
Maybe not even the school nurse. Even though epilepsy first aid is a cinch.
It’s frightening to see a child seize and then, based on that fright, they think:
“I can’t deal with this.”
