What we’re about
Hello, and welcome! This group is a safe place to talk about seizures and epilepsy.💜
As you know, epilepsy is a daily battle. A lot of us are not allowed to drive, which makes it immensely difficult to make friends and to find support. We, as epileptics, are incessantly being reminded of what we are not allowed to do. We are always given more seizure medications, to add onto the ones we are already on. A lot of us cannot even dream about the possibility of having a baby, because of being told "it's not safe." We have been in scary situations. We have endured injuries. We feel like burdens to those we rely on. The list goes on and on......
BUT, what we don't spend enough of our time on is this: taking a brief moment to acknowledge our resiliency and strength! We don't take enough time to check in on one another, and sometimes we don't even check in with ourselves to make sure we are personally doing okay.
My heart would be overjoyed if this group brings support and positivity to even just one person! What a beautiful gift that would be!
SO, who's with me? Let's talk about epilepsy, and let's lift each other up! Epilepsy can feel very lonely and isolating. So, I hope friends are made, support is given, and we ultimately can have a safe haven to talk openly.
This group is open to anyone 18 or older who has had a seizure, has epilepsy, or has a loved one with epilepsy.
I look forward to chatting with you! Thank you for your time and interest in this group.
See you soon,
Grace
