It's probably a balance for me too. I generally don't talk much about my conditions unless someone asks me about it.

No really unless it's something I want to do. I won't hesitate to my Dr. though.

I talk about it more often with friends and family- mainly family to vent about how much my seizures are progressing; Friends I answer any questions they might have ( except one friend who has a medical background and I sometimes will vent to her right after a seizure and how shitty I feel right after I’ve had a seizure); my neurologist is twice yearly unless I have to tell him something. My gps I will tell if my seizures are back to at least 20 a month or close to it. So I guess it’s a all around thing but I do answer questions from friends or other ppl that ask about it
