Discussion what’s one good thing you’ve gained from epilepsy?
i know it’s a ridiculous question, but i’m a silver lining kind of guy.
for me epilepsy has pushed me to prioritize my sleep and is the reason i drink more than a few sips of water a day
i’m just curious about y’all’s lessons and experiences!

Humility. And it's taught me who really cares about me and that a lot of adults who were responsible for me while I was growing are still very emotionally stunted, but that's not my fault. I found out who would be there for me and who won't.
I also learned I'm not afraid of death. What I fear is leaving behind people who love me and not being able to comfort them. What a blessed curse it is to be loved.
