the night
Mon, 08/09/2010 - 07:33Topic: Living With Epilepsy - Youth
i have JME and my doctors said that staying up late is the reason behind my seizures.
however i'm a night person, i have always been. i really don't like the sun nor any bright lights. (i might have been a vampire in my previous life :-P)
the society i live in is based on going out at night, so my social life is at night. and when i'm not out i'm simply on the balcony looking at the stars, thinking, writing, reading or simply on my laptop. the weather never mattered.
and i can't seem to be able to cope with it.. and the people around me underestimate the importance of the night in my life.
is anyone in this same situation?!
because my social life is nearly nonexistent anymore, and the most precious things in my life are being taken away from me..
and i'm 18... i need them..
so PLEASE share.. :-)
