Normal folk don’t understand epilepsy or seizures they thing we got a third eye growing out of us. The demon I call epilepsy has robbed me of my memory and my body. I don’t let it hold me down. Its taught me a lot to be patient to be passionate about something I really care about. My capricious thoughts are but a fleeting thought I’m hear one minute gone the next. That sad thing is people know more about breast cancer than epilepsy yet more people have it in the world some religion thing it’s a divide thing other a cures. I come with the thought people told me I can’t I provide that I could do it. I see there’s nothing one cannot do just set your mind to it. The worse is the meds cuz they rob you of your emotions but you trade it for control of the seizures. Your mood is like a women in PMS extreme. But you got your times where you are on top of the world. I’m thankful the gods and goddesses every day that I’m running an alive without them I’d be dead. So I ask you not to pity me just educate yourself because it will open doors epileptic will talk to ya if you are a true friend and a real person because the betrayal in there lives from the family leaving them to friends but being real and no bullshit gets you far I’ve learned that. Epilepsy like running a 10K while lifting weight when you have a fit. An living alone is hard for epilepsy because of routine but also they are scared or panicked or got anxiety about it. But believe me you can do it I’ve don’t it for almost two years now. Last point is the suicide with epilepsy are bad but they believe that’s a away out make it easy on there families but it’s not I understand some cannot cope with it an feeling like a failure but your not. You got to wage the battles an the war but you will win hold yourself proud. Carl Lee Bates your are a true friend and a very beautiful individual indeed thank you for all you do.
