Hopefully you are reading this. Yes you, the one who is all too familiar with prescriptions and scheduled appointments. The one who is waking up or going to sleep with the fear and knowing they might not wake up, or just knowing that the next day is going to be just as hard as the one before. Well here is a quick post from my Instagram and Facebook with some edits in this copy.
This is where I usually insert some weird quote but this time it's serious.
Diseases are awful. Big or small. They all come with unexplainable challenges that ...others just don't get. But as a seizure patient, I'd like to share some lessons I learned.
I was told it was okay to be scared once in a while and oh sugar it isn't. It leads you to fear yourself. It leads to mental and emotional breakdowns. Simply because you believe it's okay to be afraid of the sickness, which you might think, is you.
So my darlings. Picture. I chose this picture because this is just regular me. Gluten, lactose intolerance, asthma, seizures, chronic migraines and all. But I look genuinely at peace. Why? Because I found through this past year;
You are not your disease. It is a part of you. No one will understand it like you. But you are a strong human. You are a person. Not a disease. Not a disorder. A fighter. Do not fear yourself. Don't let yourself become something that's in you. You're more than this. Disease is a sickness that will toy will you and weigh you down. But that's not you. You are you. #morethanasickness
{I have seizures but am in the diagnosing process, not yet diagnosed with anything, I have been led to believe I do by one doctor I have been told I don't by another. So I am going on the safe side and saying I don't right now so I don't discredit those who do. Much love}
