    10 Things People Living With Epilepsy Will Understand

    Some of us have it while some of us love someone who does, but we all live with it.

    1. While swallowing your tongue during a seizure is impossible, you very well might bite into it...hard...several times.

    2. The mortification you feel when you realize you missed all of your mom's phone calls and she's on her way over to check up on you.

    3. Rolling your eyes when you see a seizure joke in pop culture, but then chuckling to yourself while thinking about it later on.

    4. The knowing look on your face when this screen comes up as you boot up your video game console.

    5. Having to accept the fact that you might soil yourself during a seizure.

    6. Feeling like a broken record while explaining your condition to someone new in your life.

    7. The empathy you feel for anyone who tells you they're scheduled for an MRI.

    8. Ending up with weird bruises, bumps, cuts, or more severe injuries that you don't remember receiving.

    9. The anticipation of finding a medication regimen that actually works, and the disappointment when the latest one does not.

    10. Remembering that no matter what kind of day you're having, a seizure disorder is a medical condition and it does not define you as a person.

    And don't forget that, no matter how lonely you might feel, you're never truly alone.
