This is a slightly shameful moment for me, but hopefully, other people can learn from my example. (Hopefully, they don’t need to learn it, but if they do…)
Once I started having those little seizures—once my streak of fifteen years was over—I had a brief thought flash through my head: “Now I’m one of those people.” Not cool.
Aside from the fact that you shouldn’t lump people into categories instead of acknowledging them as individuals, there should be no “I” and “them” when it comes to epilepsy. We all have it. No “I” and “them”: it’s “we” and “us”. Something I need to keep in mind going forward.
