I suffer from epilepsy for over 10 years and it has gotten worse over the past few years. To the point where i cant properly work because i need to stay in bed until around 2pm or i will have seizure and that is on a good day.

I managed to claim a form of benefit which unfortunately is not a disability one. I tried and appealed but it seems it covers more physical, it does not understand mental health conditions. They need to sort it out not just for me but for people worse than I.

I have slowly been getting more and more in debt and have been cutting everything out i can and sell things i own but its getting the better of me. I think all this too is making my condition worse because stress if one of my triggers for seizures. Card and a loan are the two things that are the problem. Ask me any questions about my life and or epilepsy. Check out www.epilepsy.org.uk which helped me a lot and suggested this site also.

If you made it this far thank you for reading and just reading it helps so i thank you. Means a lot to me.
