Hi, I have decided to complete the course to start feeling that I am normal and should not let the condition affect my day to day life, stop being embarrassed about it and letting it affect my self esteem or self confidence. My epilepsy started nearly 6 years ago – just before I reached 40. A lot has happened over this time, including losing my mother to dementia, caring for my father, losing my mother in law, taking voluntary redundancy, having 2 gynaecological operations and being made redundant recently…oh and dealing with epilepsy?! Throughout this time I have not looked after myself as I have felt selfish when I do rest. I am hoping this course will help me understand that I am an equal and not feel guilty or “disabled”.
