"You... Epilepsy?"

That was all I heard from her.

"Yes," I said with shame.

About the Creator

I write what I know, usually in the form of poetry. I tend to lean towards mental health, epilepsy, and loss/grieving.

    I'm sorry if the shame gets more than its fair share of your energy.

  • That's not a nice way to greet someone. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️

  • Never feel ashamed for having epilepsy. It isn't your fault, and you are never alone.

    No need to feel ashamed that you have epilepsy. A lot of people do. My brother-in-law did. Shame on her if she made you feel shame, too,
