My seizures

My name is Jhenelle and I have been having seizure since I was 11. I can’t control them or even tell when they are coming, which sucks.

I hit my head alot from collapsing and hurt myself badly in other ways because of it. Because of my seizures I suffer physically but worst of all I suffer emotionally. I hate making my friends and family worry, even though I can’t help what’s going on.

To this day I have no clue as to why I have these seizures, just patterns of the emotions I may have gone through before they came along. This makes it frustrating, because it makes me wonder if I am really living. It’s sad, but as a 19 year old who should be excited about living her life, I’m scared I might not have one.

I’m not sure if anyone else having seizures is going through the same experience or one close to mine, but if you are, it would be nice to talk.
