I agree with Rose. You are normal. You just have a condiiton which does not make you a disnormal person.

I’m sorry your coworkers are so rude to you when you have a seizure. My coworkers make sure I’m safe and don’t even bring up the fact I had a seizure the rest of the day.

You are normal, don't let anyone tell you different

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member have you ever tried any Noise Cancellation headphones ? That might help with the triggers from music

yes. I react to the light so I have to wear sunglasses everywhere. I had a hair cut the other day was just like I'm sensitive to light. I can't go in stores with background music since music is a trigger. Can't go in restaurants either. That has become my normal. Sometimes complete strangers are much nicer to me about it than my coworkers - that has also become my version of normal.
