Do people feel weird around me because of my epilepsy?

maybe they dont feel they just care. what if you have a seizure and tey cant do anything about it. If thts not it then maybe you should talk to them. Talking is the best way to figures out things. And ignore those mormons..screw them some people are just shi*.

I like what all have said here. If you want to keep these friends, then the best thing you can do is help them understand about your condition, and that you have meds which keep it under control. Let them know if ever they have any questions to not be afraid to ask. If these ‘friends’ are true friends, then they will stick with you, if not then you have nothing to lose, right? Right! God bless you.

I definitely feel you (fellow epileptic for 11+ years e.e). I hate the disease and I hate how people look at it. if it was any other condition people would be sensitive but to this they just think you’re a freak. I have a huge family and they all talk about me to their kids, my mom, friends, friends parents…some of my cousins aren’t even allowed to be around me because my aunts think I’ll collapse and start shaking or some sh!t (and I have complex partials mostly anyway…)…pisses me the f off. I don’t have very many friends anymore but the few are supportive, even if they are confused about it a lot of the time and ask some odd questions…but at least they’re still there. cherish the good friends.

no need to waste time with closed-minded losers. find cooler friends

there afraid you have a seisure fit and dont like anyone normal in general. they are bias make new friends

Wait is epilepsy like spasm?

epilepsy is not fun! I’ve had it for most of my life, and my mom has it to.Also I had a brain tumor so people think I’m weird for that too! living with epilepsy is not fun but if you find the right friends than it can be ok.
