I never met anyone with epilepsy until I was 29. And that was a best friend of my husband’s. (Which may explain why my husband didn’t freak out when I had a seizure on our first date!)
That was it. Beginning and end…
You’re scared. Who wouldn’t be?
The docs. There are lots of terrific ones.
The tests. They can actually help to correctly diagnose your epilepsy.
I’ll die. Not very likely.
My life is over. No, it’s not, but it will change…
It’s incredible. When I researched resources for Traumatic Stress and Post Traumatic Stress Disorders, there weren’t many.
An embarrassing shortage, considering the magnitude of need.
That’s the sad news.
The good news is that I found loads of all kinds of different stress disorder support groups online.
This is just a small sampling of different Traumatic Stress and Post Traumatic Stress support groups.
To find more, simply type in your subject and look for forums or support groups.
There’s a wealth of wonderful resources for those who have shared whatever trauma you’ve suffered.
Below are some helpful epilepsy links — websites for support, awareness and useful information.
