School & Epilepsy

School and epilepsy do not mix well. At least in my experience. So far, now that I'm legally back in school there's a lot to still adjust to. Let me tell you my experience so far. So I go to a private school, and I have mostly men who help me out (which isn't a terrible thing, it's just more relatable to talk to a woman, you know?) So sometimes I'll struggle a lot in math or biology, and when I get home, I'm literally knocked out until 7pm. Somedays it's hard because I'm either emotional or I don't feel good. So on Wednesdays during mass, I'll space out and no one notices. It's kinda crappy to be honest. You know I do everything for a reason, and I want to leave a mark at that school (like motivation, to speak a graduation when I graduate, etc..) But I want myself and others to feel safe at school because of their disability, but here we are... Scared to talk to my own teachers about my health...
I did an interview with the local news about Michigan not passing the "seizure safe act bill" and I felt betrayed as I only showed up like 2-3 times. I was asked to get interviewed but I guess no one cares about a disabled teens' voice. But honestly I don't want to keep on looking at it that way and look on the bright side of things.
