I just started to learn how to feel again. It came out of the blue. All this time I thought I was feeling because I was happy sometimes or sad sometimes or angry or hurt which by definition, are feelings! But due to an experience recently and some thought about this topic of what is a feeling, I came to the conclusion that they were just pre-existing emotional…
I was walking through the park today and I was thinking about how hard I find it to make decisions. It can actually be quite paralysing at times as it’s not just about making the decisions but following through with them that I find difficult and I think this comes down to being afraid, hmmm maybe not the right word, this comes down to not wanting to make…
Once upon a time there lived a ballsy young woman who decided that at 28, after living on way too much of the wrong treatment and medication with side effects for 7 years, that she would take herself off the medication and find out what in fact was causing her brain to spark at random times like a New Year’s Fireworks show. I am 45 now and if…

Hiding, embarrassment and isolation are things we get used to feeling and doing when we are dealing day to day with the realities of living with a sparky brain.

Memory loss and seizures from my experience
The world of dating when you have a seizure disorder can be ummm, well slightly weird, embarrassing, soul destroying, confronting, a blessing, messy, unpredictable, dangerous, infact this whole blog could be written on words to describe this experience but I’ve got more to say about the world of dating and sex so I’m going to leave it there. Let’s face it, sex and one night stands can…
When I first showed symptoms of having an electrically compromised brain, before I even knew it was compromised or even heard of the word Epilepsy, I was living with a personality that never wanted to miss out on ANYTHING. If there was ever anything going on socially, I needed to be there!! Even if there wasn’t anything going on socially, I’d invent something and gather people together so…
Three very powerful words coming together to create an even more powerful statement The definition of responsibility is: “the state or fact of being answerable, or accountable for something within one’s power, control, or management.” (1) This can be socially, energetically, mentally, health wise and sexually just to name a few. Every action or thought that stems from us we need to be accountable for. The whole look before you leap proverb is a very good illustrative of this as if you just…
Many people have always mentioned to me that setting goals and having dreams are what change your life from being average to ecstatic!! I have never been much of a goal setter or a dreamer. I have just been lucky enough to stumble across incredible situations and people that interest and excite me, follow that path for a while until I realise that I need a new direction…
This post is part of the Epilepsy Blog Relay™ which will run from November 1 through November 30, 2016. Follow along! https://livingwellwithepilepsy.com/ I have wanted to write a book about my journey with epilepsy for over 15 years now and in my mind, it was always going to be written when I had cured myself of this dreadful brain dysfunction that was playing with my imperfectly perfect world.
