How Do You Let Other People In Your Life Know Of Your Condition You Have, Is It Easy For You To Discuss And Tell?

I do so at my own discretion and usually don't have a prob with doing, I'm open when that time comes around and what I need to bring up to whoever I'm talking too.

There's a term....equity. Even after everything that's been done through history it still isn't shown properly or consistent. Like my university wasn't. I made a stand I let them know I'll set a fire under your a** coincidentally they've stepped up to the plate. Don't make the actions of others make you feel like you need to turn and hide.

It's difficult for me to tell others about my condition because a lot of people aren't so accepting 🥺

Am so comfortable telling people about my condition..I try creating awareness on social media..The problem is when some think you are exaggerating your situation.😭😔

I have to let my job know,in case something happens to me on the job. But I'm limited to letting people I work next to know my business. My manager and team leader know. I don't need the drama and judgement from everyone else.

It's easier to just blurt it out especially when I know I'm in a place where I'm not seizure free. Just in case! The reassurance that there's nothing really to do and acknowledgment helps me.
