Hi, I'm new to the group. A couple of weeks ago I had a tonic clonic seizure.
Then everyone was and still is nicer to me; anyone from people I work for and
with, to my son and daughter in law, even to the neighbours because they hear me
at times talk about it. Whereas, none of them were that nice to me before. No
intent to be sarcastic here, I am trying to understand people's change of heart
and attitude towards me. It seems as if it weren't for the seizure, everyone
would be as cold and distant towards me as before it happened. Am I not good
withOUT having epilepsy? Or is it all just pity, poor me attitude, which is
even worse because that makes me feel like a defect, unequal to everyone else
around me.

It's great to be treated nice, trusted and so on. but I am trying to
understand, why it seems people thought of me so negatively before and now I am
not so bad, even though I've been the same whether it happened or not.

I thank you for your response to help me understand this and get me out of this
confusion.

Louise
