I'm new here!

Hi, my name is jkenniv. I'm here because my daughter, age 4, has cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and is developmentally delayed and I want to learn more about how best to care for her and provide her with the tools she needs to succeed and thrive in life.

I need advice

I’m scared So me and my sister went to a town. We went to a store and I was not talking English. Then I remembered waiting for a seat and then the rest is black and all of a sudden It feels so bright. I was walking and talking from what my sister says I don’t know why I tried google but i could only find alcohol related. I don’t drink I’m on medication #Anxiety #Spoonie #BrainTumor #SeizureDisorder #Epilepsy #ChronicIllness

Told I was anxious by a homeless man

I do a soup run with my church once a month but due to my social anxiety and psychosis I didn’t do it for six months as i obviously couldn’t leave the house and it took me a while before I was on the rota again. Tonight I was with the group and handing out the food and suddenly a homeless guy comes up to me and says he has ADHD and mild autism and can smell my anxiety a mile off and that I’m doing great and I just need to breathe! I must’ve been more nervous than I thought about doing it!
That was very nice of him! I’ve often wondered whether I have autism though- my mum said I used to have meltdowns as I child and bash my head etc and I still get them now! I’m in my early 40s!
Funnily enough my best friend has just been diagnosed with it, which is a bit strange. She doesn’t have any of the signs.
I have a fascination with numbers too! I’m obsessed with religious life (I was nearly a nun but left and I still go on retreats now!)
I haven’t brought it up with my doctors though- do you think I should?

Epilepsy Awareness

I'd love to see more content on seizure disorder & stigmas surrounding Epilepsy, it's not spoken about enough.
I'm very new to this app.
Thanks

Suggested in therapy.

Hi. I have been diagnosed with Depression, Anxiety, and P.N.E.S.(stress-induced epilepsy). I lost my livelihood about 2 years ago. I had a grand maw seizure which fractured 3 of my vertebrae. I lost my house, my job, my license, my girlfriend, and my sovereignty as well as my dignity. I was urged to join this site, however, I am unsure how this is supposed to help me.
