Hello and Welcome!!
I don't know how you ended up here, perhaps by accident or by bribery or by my mother's insistence, but no matter what, I'm excited to have someone, anyone, join me in this journey.
Why journey?
Well, that will require some background, which will follow, but here's a quick overview so you know what you're getting yourself into.
I am a twenty-nine (holy begeeses that's old and scary sounding) high school English teacher who fancies herself a writer on the side
This however, is not why I have chosen to start this blog. I am writer here for a specific purpose, to discuss my ongoing struggle with epilepsy. I'll discuss what I've been through and the steps I'm taking today to help combat this beast inside my head. I'll try to keep it light but be prepared, this blog is going to be the expression of my literal demons and some tough emotions, struggles, and decisions will be described in great detail. I hope my own experiences will be relatable, informative, and perhaps at moments even inspirational.
I have one other warning, or perhaps, a disclaimer; this is my story, my life, and my battle. I have, at times, gone rouge in my treatment and do not encourage others to follow in my, at times, damaging footsteps. I have also chosen some unorthodox methods of treatment. I plan to keep a pretty detailed account of how these methods have worked and are continuing to work for me, but I understand that some of the choices I am making may be against certain medical opinions. I do not want anyone to feel like I am stating anything more than my opinions and experiences here.
So, now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's begin! Thanks for joining me on this journey!
