The day that changed my life
Purpose: To convey through my experience, how good and bad experiences can come from something that is life changing and the effect it has on people. How hard it can be to come to terms with a major change in a person's life and show that taking away bad experiences is not necessarily good.When people are asked to analyse their life. For some peculiar reason they always focus on the bad experiences, leaving out all of the great times, like watching a cricket match on the television and screaming so loud that they're soon out of breath, all the time knowing that they Probably couldn't hear you. I once looked at my life in a very negative way, but now I look at my life with the opposite view. I remember the two days, after my fist seizure, which was at school. They seemed to last for an eternity. I'd lie awake all night and stare out the window all day, In the desperate hope that it was a one off, I didn't have epilepsy, everything was normal, and life was fine, the way it always was.On the twenty eighth of May, my world was turned upside down, when the suspected diagnosis of epilepsy was confirmed, tears began running down my face, as those words were said, as if I knew in my heart, but was desperate to be wrong. Why
I couldn't talk; I felt no one would understand, even if I tried. Life can sometimes be heartbreaking, when terrible unexpected things happen, but if these things never happened, life would be quite boring and people would never learn, become stronger or change. My family and friends practically everyone I know tried to help me, I wouldn't have a bar of it though because, refusing to believe that I have epilepsy was easier than admitting, I might need help dealing with it. Its has made me realise just how strong I am, it has made me more willing to accept, life isn't always what I want it to be. After experiencing more seizures, Ambulance trips and a couple of hospital admissions, I realised that I couldn't hide from the truth. After talking to many people, who all gave me support. I realised "whatever doesn't kill you will make you stronger". I realised I was not going to be able to deal with this overnight, it would take some time and it wasn't going to be easy. At the same time I was still very angry about having to deal with something that I didn't want to. But the thing stopping me is, having epilepsy has brought me to the path that I am suppose to be on. At that point I thought I would cry forever, even if the tears weren't showing. I just wanted to keep going, pushing everyone away and insisting I was fine. Life is always changing; there's always a new decision to be made, which could change your life forever.
