Hello all,
Once again Im trying to find advice... I'm so completely and utterly confused about this all. Yesterday I had a seizure at my college after not feeling well all day. No one knew what to do and that thought frightens me. I have a "seizure diary" i keep in my book bag, but apparently that didnt help. Finally one of my friends called 911.But Now I feel like Im being judged by my peers, like im not normal. They always used to joke about stuff like that and now it seems like they're scared of me or like Im made of glass that could break at any moment! I know its a scary thing, but its not like I can help it and I dont have an aura. I'm so down and scared and don't ever want to go back to that class. I deserve to be treated the same as everyone else! I'm not any different! Does anyone have any advice as how to deal with peers that just dont understand or how to help myself in that situation? I'm not sure what else to do but drop out (which i dont want to do), but I feel like I'm out of options. Thanks for any advice!

Whoa dude....its ok, just chill, thats all you need to do, just chill.
I have a friend who had a seizure in highschool.....he was terrified afterwards.....almost like a new person, only terrified of everyone....
The way he managed to fit in is....well just ignore it. Everybody hits a pothole in their road, whether they fail a class, embarass themselves, hurt themselves, or even have a seizure. This is just part of your stuggle.
So how can you ignore these giant potholes (as i love to call stuggles in life)?
Knock your truck into four-wheel drive and run over them.
In other words, talk, socialize, have parties, and just chill with your friends normally. Develop a personality, and make friends. Friends are all you need to get through. My friend had epilepsy, and now he lives a normal life. and I know you can do it, if he can do it.
