MY EPILEPSY STORY: A LETTER TO MY YOUNGER SELF
At the onset of my epilepsy, all I could remember is that I was headed to recess and boom! Next thing I know, I woke up in a hospital bed. I didn’t recall anything else that happened to me after heading to recess. Even to this day, I don’t remember it. That particular seizure kept me in the hospital for a week. It took me an entire week to regain my strength and become my old self again. After recovery, I didn’t have another seizure for an entire year. I almost had forgotten about that seizure until one day I went into status epilepticus. The seizures kept on coming non-stop without a warning. Again, I don’t recall much about that day when the seizure returned. However, from that day on I was diagnosed with epilepsy. I’m not sure if life changed for me, but....click here for more

How I Feel during A seizure
Ok, for starters I think I'm pretty open about my epilepsy. Today I want to share a story about how it feels when I have a seizure.
Before seizure:
For me, it's like going in a dark place or tunnel that's closing in on you. The sound, the space, light slowly or quickly leaves me. Everything gets foggy; I can't comprehend things such as my name and where I live.

HOW TO GET WHAT YOU NEED: Face Value Or Nah?
Sometimes we don't get what we want. Instead, we get what we need. If things don't workout as you planned & they never do!😩 Just recently, nothing was working in my favor. I had to pause for a moment and ask God-what is this lesson you are trying to teach me? My bestie wasn't available to help me solve this problem. Therefore, I had to solve this by myself. Oh did I mention, I over analyze everything. I do pros & cons list, I journal.. I just do too much!

They were financially stable and we had great traditions. As I write this, I'm at my grandmother's house (lol). I'm thankful for those traditions they instilled in us.
