I’ve had seizures for 46yrs. About 20yrs ago I had a mental break and ended up in the hospital. Now I’m dealing with increasing seizures and mental illnesses. I was just wondering if others struggle with this and if you care to share your story? I’m a Christian and to be honest all of this has really challenged my faith.
I can relate with you and feel that my faith is tested every day. Between my PTSD, anxiety, and depression I'm not sure which is worse for my epilepsy. I had a seizure a couple days ago and my husband said that he couldn't even get me to come out of it with my rescue medicine so I was in the ER all day. I just recently lost my best friend to a seizure too. She was also a Christian so I know where she's with our Father in Heaven. Have a blessed day and weekend!! You're in my thoughts and prayers!!💜🙏🏻
Thank you John. Much appreciated.
There is no better ally than God, so just remember to talk to him (inner voice is fine for God) when you are in one of those tough times.
Thank you John. It’s really good when we awaken to the good news that God is with us and weeps with us in our suffering. Suffering has a way of opening our eyes to the God that weeps with the weeping. We would only know that in theory if not for our own cross we bare each day with God.
Insecurity is a big issue for me. Since i lost so much memory and i cant remember anymore that have effected my speech alot and it makes me dumb. I am vietnamese so i speak both english and viet but over the years my english have gotten worst. I forget some words and how to say them so it makes it hard for me to speak or even want to speak to others without feeling stupid. I feel like a kid that have to go back to school and relearn everything because i am losing more and more of my memory and all that i’ve learned in school is lost. Because of insecurity, it causes anxiety and i am experiecing that more now over the past year. Now i just feel like a weird person that people don’t want to be around. I can’t help that emotion.
