hi
im almost 20 and i've had seizures since i was 7. anywayz thats not what i wanted to talk about.
i know this sounds really stupid. but do we necessarily have to talk about seizures???? i mean this could be a place where we can talk to ppl who are like us but ask questions about different things right????
anywayz my question is that there is this guy at my university who is kinda cute and smiled at me a couple of times and stares at me sometimes. so should i smile back and stare back to see what happens or should i wait for him to come and do nothing or should i go ahead and talk to him???
i know u think this has nothing to do with seizures but im a girl who needs help!!!!!!! cause i like him kinda.
thanks
Nas

im almost 19 in september. I've had seizures since I was 19 months old baby. What university are you attending, and where do you live? If you haven't figured out that guys hit on girls like that. Sometimes they are a little scared to ask the question that you are asking. Go talk to him when you can find him alone. I advise you to tell him that you have siezures so IF you start dating him that if you possibly have one while you are with him that he will know what is going on, and how to deal with it. When I was a sophomore I got into a serious relationship luckily I never had one around him but he knew exactly what to do if I ever had one. He treated me normal but was cautious about the activities we did. I'm normal and you are normal too but we deal with a "TRIAL" that no one really understands. If we band together we can help each other out. Don't let Epilepsy get you down. I'm that type of person that doesn't let EPILEPSY tie me dwn and dnt let me act like a normal teen. I have even had ppl in shock that I have epilepsy when I tell them because I act like a normal teen. My friends help me out and treat me like a normal teen. SO BE A REBEL AND GO AFTER YOUR DREAMS AND TALK TO WHOEVER YOU PLEASE AND YES GO TLK TO HIM!!!!!!!!! ~*(; Autumn R. Excell ;)*~
