I've discussed with some people at my job because I am pregnant and if I were to have a seizure they will need to call an ambulance and in my "ictal" phase I am too confused to even know what happened.
My mom, inlaws, one brother, husband, one aunt and one grandparent knows. Friend wise I only told two friends, one who witnessed a seizure and the other is a really close friend.
I wanted to post an epilepsy awareness ribbon on my facebook profile but I don't want one of the people who knows to post something to let the world know in response so I'm not sure.
So I was just wondering if you're upfront about it with everyone or if it's a need to know thing? I just worry that people will let the diagnosis define me. This is the same reason no one knows the horrible abuse I went through as a child, I don't want these things to define me, I want to make my own image so I worry.
If you did come forward with everyone, how did they react and did they treat you differently?:e:
