OMFG MY ENGLISH CLASS HAS LITERALLY SAID THAT FANFICS ARE AN OPTION!!! Ok, Let Me Elaborate- In English,

Today, I was out with my nan, eventually we got to the discussion of me getting a job. My mum doesn’t want me to get a job until 3 months into the school year because I’m doing VCE history in yr 10. I spoke about how ill have to look for an employer who doesn’t care about my epilepsy, which is going to be a bit difficult because there are so many teens looking for jobs rn, and I’m pretty sure an employer is going to choose a non-epileptic person rather than me. I made a comment about how crappy it is having all your friends work and you being the only one not working, my nan then proceeded to lecture me about ‘how it’s just the way it is, and that it’s like your pop, he has PTSD, but he can’t do anything about it.”

I’m so sick of all these people, more specifically adults, talking to me and lecturing me and telling me off when it comes to my epilepsy like they know what I’m going through, like they understand. They can sympathise sure, but only on a certain level, their understanding doesn’t go as deep as mine does, and I’m so sick of them pretending that they have that understanding.

And it’s not just the adults in my life that do it, so do my friends. They try to understand, they try to say things to support me when I’m anxious to the lead up of a hospital appointment. They don’t understand that this hospital appointment could literallly change the way my life is operating, it could change everything. They don’t know that anxiety of whether this hospital appointment is going to be the one when they tell you that your never going to come off your meds. They don’t know the utter disappointment and regret that you feel when you come to consciouness after a seizure and realise what happened. They don’t understand that gut wrenching fear that you feel coming out of a seizure, on the floor, limbs sore, nauseous, with an excruciating headache not having a clue what happened or where you are.

Being a teenager is overwhelming. Being a teenager with a chronic illness who constantly lives in fear of having a seizure while also dealing with the crappy people who tease you for it or force harmful stereotypes on you is a whole other level.

The point of this post is that I’m so sick of people pretending to know what I’m going through, I’m so sick of it that it makes me want to scream. And I’m so sick of having epilepsy.

Agreed. Add on- pillowcases that have been embroidered, to represent 2 things:

1- the sheer lack of sleep 😭

2- our safe space ❤️

Epilepticon Day 2 prompt

Epilepsy awareness month is sandwiched right in between Halloween and Christmas, two of the most widely decorated for holidays (at least in the US). If epilepsy awareness month had traditional decorations, what do you think they should/would be?

PROOF IN CASE YOU NEED IT

Petitions - UK Government and Parliament

Petition: Reverse the decision to block the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill

I want the Government to reverse their decision to block the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill, as this legislation contains importa

hey if you're a UK resident can you sign this petition and if not please rb to spread the word

this is an official UK government petition that they have to respond to if it reaches 10,000 signatures

If it makes any of you feel better, Donald Trump will have an uphill battle to change the constitution. He will need:

-2/3 of Senators (60)

-2/3 of the House of Representatives (290)

-3/4 of the states (38)

In 2026, 33 senate seats will be up for grabs, and we’ll be able to vote for people who are against Trump and his ideals.

Breathe and remain hopeful because it’s not over. We can still fight and make Trump’s last four years hell.

Thanks for the tag! (p.s so true @totallynotaterrorist I straight up adopt people who like my fanfics 💀)

No, not all people with epilepsy have seizures when you flash the lights. No that doesn’t mean you should test it out right now. Your just going to do it anyway, aren’t you?

Epilepticon Day 1 Prompt

Hi guys! Welcome to Epilepticon! I hope to be seeing everyone’s awesome posts throughout the month! As today is the first day, and this month is Epilepsy Awareness Month, we’re going to start off with a classic serious prompt:

What’s one thing you wish people understood more about epilepsy? Is it something you find yourself explaining over and over again, or something you don’t even attempt to explain because you know people won’t understand anyway, or just a common myth/disinformation/misunderstanding?

I dont want to get too off topic on this blog but since this is a somewhat big platform I want to talk about whats going on as we are facing the climate crisis head on.

Thousands of scientists all over the world are currently on protest in tears. No media is bringing this up. We should be seeing news about NASA scientists being arrested for asking to be heard but instead it is silent. Scientists say we have 3 years left to stop everything, we have the answers, but our governments arent listening. That we need to stop all new projects. Over 110,000+ new fossil fuel projects have been signed off in 2022. That should be concerning. Oil, gas and coal need to be stopped if we want a chance at survival and it needs to be talked about. We have 3 years, we have answers, we have alternatives and we need to government to act now. Theres a man on hunger strike just so the government will read the latest IPCC report. Just to look at a scientific document. They cant even do that.

A woman from Just Stop Oil was one of the only interviews in media ive seen as of recent, where she was mocked for her clothes and not given the chance to truly speak on the science as she was interrupted to be told her ego is too big. It was a copy and paste situation to the interview from the movie Dont Look Up. This response of mockery over a genuine concern for humanity should terrify all of us.

Despite Bidens word, he has signed off more new oil, gas and coal works.

Did you know that Congo just sold more oil blocks in their rainforest and river.

Maximum temperatures in India and Pakistan have been continuously over 40 degrees Celsius (104°F) for almost two weeks. Thats 10 celsius more than average.

The arctic passed over 30 degrees celsius this past month. Both sides of the earths ice experiencing heat waves. The arctic is bubbling METHANE.

And so so so so much more from flooding, new oil sign offs, etc.

If you are in a country thats just about to start elections, please look into parties that will do their part for the climate crisis. If you are not signed to vote, enrol asap. If youre in Australia, like me, you can enrol here by TODAY. (And maybe look into our third party system and what the greens have to offer? But i didnt tell you that..)

Look into protest groups like the Extinction Rebellion and see what protests are hapening nearby and what you can do to help. This is quite literally life or death for humanity and we cant risk ignoring it and letting it be ignored. We have to educate ourselves on whats going on, get mad and fight it. Because media is refusing to let us know of the doom were facing if our government continues to support oil, gas and coal the way they are. This isnt to make you feel doom, but encourage you to act to prevent doom.
