Little bit of a break down, but after I made this video I started feeling better and did a little yoga with a few friends.
A few days later my co-workers were talking about how some video games trigger seizures. Talking to the woman who sits next to me I said, “yeah the only seizure I’ve had from a screen was at a concert where there was a huge LED strobe light, I went right over back wards.”
She kind of laughed because I was and said, “yeah I’ve never had a seizure.”
I said, a bit more seriously, “Yes, I have a seizure disorder.”
She replied, “wow, I’m sorry. Can you drive?”
I told her a bit about not driving far and how it’s really great I can walk to work. She seems satisfied then changed the conversation to diabetes. I have no idea why – maybe diabetes is easier to talk about then seizures?? Anyway, at lease one person at work knows.
Kind of felt good to get it off my chest and I realized it’s only as big a deal as I make it.
