Jobs

Getting jobs is already hard as it is anywhere, but add an illness or disease to that its even harder. For awhile I've been on this horse applying and talking to manager's asking for them to please take a look at my application and if they're still hiring. I get many different types of responses like "yeah, we still are just call the store number and talk to the hiring managers." Or "yeah we are just come back in today at (this certain time)." And more. Then the pressure of finding one soon from youre parents because you just graduated from high school and they expect you to be more independent and responsible but in the time you've had a bumpy road with Dr. appointments and normal drama and switching and learning the roads of adulthood since jobs wasn't really on your mind while being in highschool. It's a bit more difficult and different for us who have more baggage to carry when applying for jobs. Some jobs say they have and support that disabled persons law for when hiring and do not discriminate people. Sometimes that law doesn't really apply very well 😂.

Getting back on the board

This past weekend I spent it with one of my best friends. We spent the time catching up and gorging ourselves in junk food and scary movies. Yeah it sounds like a cheesy intro to a fanfic book, but this is real. I promise you 😂. Anyways, we went skating and I haven't been on a long board in over a year. In that plus year I suffers from many seizures and my leveled up epilepsy. So when my foot first touched the board instant anxiety! I almost panicked! Thoughts of me riding at a fast speed and seizing then falling over in the road and a car not seeing me then running me over or my friend not hearing me took over my mind. My friend kept asking me why I was skating so slow. I told her it has been a long time and in that time thats when my epilepsy was making itself at home. During our few hours of skating around her small town, I slipped off the board, hit rocks and flew off, almost got hit by cars, and ran into fences. To someone who's skated a lot and reading this or witnessed it would've/would say I'm an amateur but I'm not. ive skated for years and just this past year or so my petite mal epilepsy has grown up to generalized epilepsy. I have many forms of seizures. From tonic clonics to absent seizures or face drooping and uncontrolled painful muscle spasming for 10-15minutes. Let's spread awareness for epilepsy! 💜 #TeamGlitch #SpreadEpilepsyAwareness #EpilepsyWarrior #LookForACure
