Sorry guys...I'm running late!

Hello again! Thanks for coming back again! All your support is massively appreciated. I know I normally post every other week but I am still in the process of getting it sorted and ready for the world. I'm hoping it's going to be a blog about Friendships and how epilepsy impacted my friendships growing up. This is a blog I want to get right and I'd rather post late than rush it. 

Love to you all! See you next week! 

💜💜💜

Happy Purple Day 2021!

  Hello again and Happy Purple Day! Today is Epilepsy Awareness Day around the world (in Canada it’s even a national Holiday!) I always love Purple Day as it is a time to celebrate the people living with epilepsy daily and raise awareness for the condition that I’ve been living with for so long.   I’ve never known life without epilepsy but it’s so unknown, and yet it’s the fourth most common neurological condition, affecting between 50-60 million people globally. Because not many people know much about it, and it affects so many people, I like to use Purple Day to try and make some noise!   The past year has been a bit of a bonkers one for me, not because my epilepsy has changed all that much, but because of the way I have seen how much my epilepsy impacts everyday life. I started this blog this year focussing on my experiences living with epilepsy and it has forced me to sit down and reflect on things I’ve never really thought about before. Writing about my journey has been a cathar

Photo Challenge Day 10

  Hello again! This is a teddy bear I have had for nearly 8 years. Apparently stuffed animals are important to me in coping with my epilepsy because he also has a story to tell. This teddy bear has no name, but is just known as "my gosh bear" or more precisely "my GOSH bear". He was a birthday present from all the nurses on the ward I was staying in when I had my 15th birthday in Great Ormond Street Hospital having EEG telemetry. I was admitted for telemetry on my birthday which I was ok with. I was just settling in to my room and waiting to be wired up when the nurses came in singing Happy Birthday with a stash of presents! I was so embarrassed at the singing but so excited that I still had something to celebrate on my birthday other than wires being attached to my head! Among the presents the nurses gave me was this bear and he pretty much didn't leave my side all week! And nearly every time I've needed a cuddly toy for comfort since then and I haven't

Loneliness and Isolation

Hi there! Me again. I’m glad you came back!   I hope you enjoyed my introductory blog! You’re discovering another thing about me. My tendency to massively overuse exclamation marks when using the written word to express myself… Oops! Joking aside though, in this blog I wanted to talk about loneliness and isolation. This is something we are all experiencing in a way we never have before because of the Covid-19 virus. It’s also something that we all experience to some degree or other, even before we used the words ‘Corona’ or ‘Lockdown’ so frequently. The feeling of being alone, that no one knows what it’s like to walk in your shoes; it’s a feeling we all know but for people with chronic medical conditions, their condition can be a reason for them feeling it more acutely. We aren’t the only ones, but chronic conditions, such as epilepsy can be the cause of such feelings and I know that personally my epilepsy has been the biggest cause of my feelings of loneliness and isolation throug
