Today, I was out with my boyfriend, and I had an epileptic fit. He had never seen me have one, and it freaked him out. He rang me later to dump me, as he didn't want to go out with someone who acted like a 'spaz' in public. FML

Hey guys, thanks for posting all your comments, I have read them all. Firstly i'd like to say that epilepsy is a condition that can't be helped, so i'm kind of stuck with it and its not necessarily genetic. I am proud of who I am and I wouldn't change who I am even if I could. Secondly, I did tell my ex that I had epilepsy, I told him straight away so he was aware of my condition; to not tell him would have been unfair. Thirdly thanks to all the people who understand what its like and have written messages of support, I really appreciate it. To those who have written 'negative' comments, you are entitled to your own opinion, just don't share it with me. Being called a 'spaz' or saying that 'i'm sick' or 'not normal' is uncalled for. I'm currently studying Medicine at Birmingham Uni to try and help those like me, and all i'm going to say is how ironic would it be if one of you who have said i'm 'not normal' came into a hospital where I was working and I saved your life...I guess you wouldn't be saying stuff then. Again, thanks for all the positive comments :)

I had a similar situation where a highs school friend of mine had a fit in the trocadero centre in London. obviously I did everything i could to help, but I was a frightened teenager who didn't know what was happening. All I know to do was ask for processional help, ask for space so the person could breathe and try my best to comfort them even though it was scary. I think i did OK considering, but in hindsight I wish my friend had had the confidence in me to say that there was a risk of a seizure and that if it did happen this is what he would prefer I would do. I know that it could be hard for some people to mention their condition to their friends, but in my case I wouldn't have been bothered at all - just thought the knowledge would help me help a friend when they needed it - isn't that what friends are for.
