Nobody on here is a lesser person, talking about Epilepsy. Whether it’s on here or in the real world.

If people say things like that to you, don’t worry , they are just very ignorant people. Some fear the truth, to understand Epilepsy. Then you have people who just don’t, care and think they know more about it than you.

It shouldn't man talk all you want were here for ya. And always will be. Epilepsy is a challenge we face and people without it don't know our pressure and we are stronger then we seem cause we deal with it so ur not a lesser man don't think that way bro.

I would first off and say that u aren't any lesser to anyone! We all are of the same equal value in the Creator's eyes! Our lives tend to drastically chance if we aren't born with this disease n it pops up on us like mines did 22yrs ago as a 20yr old woman ready for life! Any hopes n dreams that I had planned for me were snatched away by seizures n now all I really can do is sit alone in my apt. n try n make the best of what I have n can do. As opposed to dwelling about it. I know I am someone of importance even if because of these seizures I have also been labeled a danger to myself n others by our government! All that being said I come to the conclusion that I'm still Sabrina!😍Im my biggest fan n it will always be that! 🎗
🎉Team Sabrina Go!🥇

You are in no way “less” than, in fact you are MORE than! Unfortunately, more people don’t understand epilepsy, and how much more it takes for a person to live with it. So don’t sell yourself short, it’s like everything else, you have to find the right match.
And please do not give up!
