@embracingecho: When I look back at seizure footage, I feel so much embarrassment imagining all of the people that walked past and thought “what’s wrong with that girl?” I started posting my seizures to bring awareness to Epilepsy and to take back some of the embarrassment I felt from seizures. I don’t want anyone to feel embarrassed of Epilepsy. It’s not your fault. You rarely can make it go away by “doing all the right things.” You’re not possessed and I’m so sorry that so many scary movies have connected convulsions with something evil in you. If you have Epilepsy, no one should bridge that with “not praying enough.” It’s a real neurological disease that causes electrical misfires in the brain. Epilepsy isn’t always convulsive. The majority of people that automatically think all seizures are grand mal when I explain that I have Epilepsy is a big part of why I advocate for this neurological disease. * This video is from a while ago but I think the educational aspect of it is still important. Epilepsy is dangerous. It makes you dependent upon people in your surroundings to make sure you’re okay, don’t get injured, and don’t go into status epilepticus. That’s why I talk about it so much. #EpilepsyAwareness #SeizureAwareness #EpilepsyAdvocate #SeizureEducation #ThisIsEpilepsy DisabilityAwareness InvisibleDisability NeurologicalDisorder FocalSeizures AbsenceSeizures EpilepsyWarrior DisabilityAdvocate SeizureSafety TravelWithDisability AirportAccessibility EndTheStigma
