Hi there, my name is Quinn and I've had epilepsy for three years. I have tonic-clonic seizures with occasional auras (those are always a fun surprise). Almost all of my seizures have been in public and have affected my life severely, so I don't think I've ever had the chance to open up and accept my circumstances fully. You'd think after having a seizure severe enough to leave me with post-concussive syndrome that I would be past the point of being in denial of my diagnosis, but alas, I still cannot seem to accept that this is a part of my life. However, I recently started seeing a therapist, so along with that and a breakthrough seizure I had today, I've decided it's time to try to connect with others who have the same struggles.
So, hello to all the other people with epilepsy out there. I'm not sure how active I'll be here, but I think I'll benefit from having somewhere to go where I know people will understand what I'm going through.
