My so called pseudo seizures

Hi I too have non epileptic seizures, or so they say. Anyway, When I was attending college, the nurse made arrangments for me to go to be admitted into London University hospital to the Epileptic unit. I was there a full week. They finally diagnosed it as pseudo seizures

When they occur somehow my parents find out and I get in alot of trouble, my mom asks why I seized, (what a stupid question) My parents say I can control them. They just don’t get it. I wish it was that simple, I hate have them. Once I had one on the city bus, and an ambulance girl asked me why I do that. I felt like such an idiot, she obviously thinks its just an act too. Like come on here. At the hospital I’ve heard them say I’m mentally retarded. I feel so stupid…
