Hey! I'm 19 and had my first seizure when i was 14. I've had them in all sorts of places... like school, the bus, most of my friends houses, but the really scary one was the one in the shower. I fell and the faucet got one side of my upper lip. My lip was huge and hurt a bunch for a couple of weeks. I was glad I didn't hit the faucet hard on my head. I consider myself lucky compared to others. Epilepsy is scary but the more you know, it takes away the fear of the unknown. Here to talk anytime. :)

Heyyy I'm 19 and have been dealing with epilepsy since grade 5. You're definitely not alone. :) I've had seizure basically everywhere from a public swimming pool, a public park, a public sidewalk, on a public bench, at school (elementary, high school and university), and etc. Keep positive and live life. Epilepsy is not your whole life. :) Feel free to ask me any questions.
