Does Any Feel Ashamed That They Have Epilepsy And Keeping It Quiet?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I keep it quiet and I don't want people to know. I've tried hiding but can't because I have seizures periodically.

Everyone from school to work has treated me with respect when I’ve had a seizure so I’ve never even kept it a secret that I have seizures.

I never made a practice of letting people know but I never held it back if they saw me have a seizure.

We all are human ! We all mistakes. I gave money to a Doctor one time. I later found out he was a gambler. He was removed from the hospital where I worked. I had blessings later in my life.
