Epilepsy Awareness Month: Day 16!

I had another absence today...

At least today it was a slightly lighter one.  It was towards the middle of the day so there weren't as many people around whilst I was having it.  Emma was in the room, but she was engrossed in her music just like me so I left her to it.  Mum was also in her crafting room focused on her various Christmas crafting designs and I wasn't in any discomfort this time so I just stayed in this absence by myself.

I didn't panic this time like I did on previous absences.  It's easier to go crazy and start panicking because the absence might be deeper and you are struggling to get out of other absences but if you keep taking deeper breaths and keep remaining calm, then you should be okay.

What I didn't know was that every November, Disneyland in California hold an Epilepsy Awareness Day.  This helps people to unite and to raise awareness for epilepsy and helps people to unite around the world.  This year, the day is on Bonfire Night!


I think that's a good thing because it helps to raise awareness!
