What were your most formative moments?

For me, it was three different stages, ages and issues…
1. Growing into my own skin…

Seizures…memory…depression. YES, they are linked!

At least one third of people with epilepsy also have depression.
Epilepsy can have different effects on memory functions and depression for various reasons.
Because the portion of the brain where memory and emotions are stored — the limbic system — can be disturbed by epileptic seizures.
In fact, memory problems are one of the most reported problems that coincide with epilepsy.

Simply put, the abortion ban may mean denial of effective drugs for women with MS, Migraines and Epilepsy.

Dating disasters…

When I was a teen I fell down, walked into walls, bumped into virtually everything in my path, and almost drowned in the shower.
