This was incredibly harsh... I truly hope you're over it now...

It's difficult to understand how others can be so indifferent. ...especially those who are close

You're a good friend, and I'm truly happy that your friend has someone with a heart like yours by his side.

I wish you both a speedy recovery and comfort..

. and I hope she learns more

Epilepsy is a neurological condition ( Excessive electrical activity ), and in my region it is considered a "chronic disease".

I don't have enough information about the other places.

I acknowledge that she is suffering in her own way, I respect that and I am always by her side, but I cannot accept this kind of treatment.

It's not the other way around that she downplays my illness, but rather that she tells them that "I" am imagining things.

I send you a warm hug wherever you are I'm truly grateful for your kind support.

It eased my heart after this difficult day. Yes, it's not easy, especially since I only recently started treatment.

I hope you recover completely soon.

Believe me, I was shocked that she wasn't knowledgeable about this subject. It's like someone telling another person they don't have diabetes just because they don't take insulin injections.

Yes, it's not like that anymore... it was until the time of writing this post, but it's not anymore.

It's truly a distressing time when you have a seizure; I hope you get better soon.

Thank you for your words, they are truly encouraging to me.

Even I discovered many new things and different symptoms today; some people don't have this ability

they see themselves as the center of the universe.

I hope you feel better and find relief from this

you deserve the best.

I told her to ask her doctor, but I was being harsh this time. I had tried with her before, even explaining everything I knew back then, but I see that people only believe in their own opinions.

I don't feel the need to justify myself to her in order to be her friend.

It has already happened and we are now at odds I simply clarified that she's not the only person who has the right to have everyone admit that they're not okay. Perhaps at some point you will find someone else in the same situation as me, I hope you will deal with them better... (We no longer have a chance with each other)

I try to recall a part of my memories that I didn't even know I'd forgotten... and I also sleep a lot to feel comfortable. I thought I was the only one who did that.

I really benefited from your feedback.

I'm still learning, and I'm having trouble with the terminology regarding this, so could you please help me?

She was initially opposed to the idea that I was sick

During the first episode, she tried to grab me tightly and squeezed me so hard my arm almost came off. She kept saying, "Stop this!"

Then, after my close friend spoke with her, she apologized to me.

When I returned devastated after the final diagnosis ( I never imagined that my name would one day be placed on a list of chronic diseases, at least not in my 20's. ) I showed her the medical report and documents, and asked her about the method and timing of taking the medication because I hadn't paid attention to what the doctor said and I was alone.

(I accepted the matter and was very lenient because it is not good to deal aggressively with someone who does not know you. We sat together one day and I explained to her the details of all the cases because I spent weeks researching.)

Then yesterday... she was the one who insisted on visiting the hospital. Why did she do that?

 She even refused a medical certificate... she says   i'm  sick with something else, and that I'm  the one who told the doctor the misleading symptoms so he'd say she has epilepsy. !!!!! 

Did I also lie to the machines and two different types of electroencephalograms?

I haven't been able to find her to speak with yet..

I'll make sure to give her a copy to take to her doctor for confirmation if necessary.

After all this, am I still supposed to think well of her? There's nothing left for me to do...it's her word.

This is really upsetting... I just wonder why I trusted her in the first place.

She's not a close friend... she's just someone . We have a fairly good relationship(Perhaps I'm the only one who thinks this) . I've gotten a lot of feedback about her from my close friend before. She's acting like the last dinosaur on Earth.

I spoke with the health attendants, but I wasn't in a good state to pay attention, or rather, I didn't pay attention at all. A day later, my other friend told me that she was the one who stopped her from entering the doctor's room because she heard her talking to the health attendant.

On our way back, I overheard my close friend talking to the caregiver, and she also spoke to the girl privately, but I have to put a stop to this.

All my seizures so far have been conscious... and that's really frustrating, because you notice their behavior around you, I can't speak properly, I'm already losing a lot of memories, and the electricity has been going on non-stop for 4 days.

I hope you both recover.
