A little chapter on my current emotional state 🫶🏼
8 months ago , I had my first seizure at the age of 24 I was diagnosed with epilepsy, me being the strong minded person that I am , kinda wrote it off as a “one time occurrence” it was due to stress and fatigue.
Unfortunately yesterday I had 2 small seizures , it was more emotionally devastating than the physical. But it also gave me a little opportunity to realize that for 8 months I continued my life , happy , healthy and unbothered.
And that shouldn’t change because of something that I was diagnosed with , yes I might have epilepsy, but I am not epilepsy.
I know there are many of you that might be dealing with diagnosis that are hard to accept or even devastating , but I do want to take this opportunity to share with you that we are all going to be okay.
You are not a label of your diagnosis , you are not your diagnosis.
Although I am still working on the “accepting it” part , I know deep down that I will be okay , I am okay.
Don’t hide your stories , don’t be afraid to share what you are going through. You never know , your story might be someone’s life line , to reach out and connect❤️
We are not alone , we were never meant to be alone 🫶🏼
Sending you lots of love ❤️
