"First of all I would like people to understand it is an illness that affects your emotions and the other way around too; because stress is hard to handle it may trigger seizures, seizures make you depressed, stressed and so on. All cases are so different and individual, but what's certain is that we need help and understanding from our loved ones. Not pity but a supportive "go ahead!" attitude. I believe creativity is a form of self-expression; in my case it has been enhanced through illness. Appreciation of life's beauty is at full perception now and this journey has taken me through a path of personal growth."
