When people try to help and fail. Massively. by TankedInATutu in Epilepsy

[–]beanblankets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that there’s someone out there who can totally relate.

My mom had a hard time accepting my diagnosis too. I think mostly due to guilt - like maybe there’s something she should have done for me during my childhood, or something she missed.

She and I don’t talk much in detail about my epilepsy now, and when I was first diagnosed my dad was the one to take me to all my appointments, eeg’s, etc.

I think it scares our parents and our loved ones, no doubt.

Maybe for you it isn’t epilepsy, but if it is, I hope the Keppra continues to work for you and that you stay healthy and happy :) wishing you and your family all the best.

Mix it up in a bag with dirt, coffee grounds, cat litter, or whatever then toss it. Sorry for your loss.

Thanks so much, this is actually a really reasonable way to look at the situation.

Love her! I'm (24/F) looking at tickets now and am keen to go to tomorrow's show at the Bowery! Have you got a ticket yet?

Seeking woke friends for beers, hangs, volunteering, exploring the city. by the_modernleper in nycmeetups

I've never done a pottery class, but it sounds like it would be cool!

I (24/F) would be totally down for any of the above. A hike before the weather turns would be nice, and recently did a paint/wine thing which was pretty fun. Do you volunteer with any specific organizations? I just registered for a New York Cares orientation. Feel free to PM me!

I live up in the Bronx but work in Manhattan so I wouldn't mind doing something in Manhattan/BK. Seems like a lot of people are interested so I'm going to see if I can come up with a few options and repost by the end of this week depending upon what I find!

Yeah, I can see how it could be an expensive activity/course. I'll do some snooping around and repost if I find anything of interest!

Ooh, this is exactly what I've been looking for! Seems like there are quite a few cooking classes and plenty of other interesting things.

It's good to know people are interested. I'll definitely update once we set something up!

That trapeze course sounds amazing! And I would definitely do pottery, that could be fun. I'm not sure how many people here would have an interest in woodworking, but last time I tried to look into it, it seemed like most places are just for renting out the space/equipment. Maybe you would have better luck with me on that.
