No one person or organization speaks for the whole #epilepsy community. Your story matters, as it might help others. Thank you for being here, supporting us, and sharing who you are. #EpilepsyAwareness
Abstaining from social media isn't just about maintaining one's peace when dealing with #epilepsy, but protecting one's #mentalhealth. -- Have you grown more selective about the content you consume online compared to say 5 years ago? #EpilepsyAwareness
Did you know that nearly 30% of Americans with active #epilepsy live below the poverty line? #Disability and financial insecurity are often deeply linked. -- How has your Epilepsy affected your finances? #EpilepsyAwareness
You can lose yourself trying to please everyone, but you can also lose everyone trying to find yourself.
Seizures are often used as cheap punchlines, but there is absolutely nothing funny about people outside of the #epilepsy community joking about the condition. A seizure is terrifying, exhausting, and sometimes a dangerous medical emergency. #EpilepsyAwareness
Algorithms can mimic language, but they can't truly feel or understand the weight of a chronic condition like #epilepsy. Empathy is our greatest superpower. Want to resist the rise of AI, practicing empathy is always a good start. #EpilepsyAwareness
To every SEN parent feeling behind: you showed up today and that is heroic. What encouragement do you need right now?
Accusing someone with #epilepsy of faking their seizures is highly insulting. Seizures are often terrifying and exhausting. Nobody would choose to simulate that trauma. -- Has anyone suggested that your seizures are fake? #EpilepsyAwareness
"Do your own research!" makes a massive assumption that people facing chronic illness always have the energy and stamina to do it. Nobody should be forced to become a medical researcher just to survive their #epilepsy diagnosis. #EpilepsyAwareness
