Welp, happy Epilepsy awareness month. 💜 I wasn’t going to post this year. It’s the 9th year 😑and I have a lot of mixed emotions. I think what’s difficult about it is people thinking it will go away if I do X,Y,Z. Even after 9 years. It won’t, I’ve accepted it and try hard AF to do my best to be healthy. My real reality instead of my Insta reality is that I’m depressed of living with epilepsy every second. I have 2-3 nasty ass episodes a week. I like being vulnerable here because I’m increasing epilepsy awareness ya all. I’m trying to be happy and I couldn’t do it without Travis. He reminds me of what a bad ass I am and how resilient I am. I’ve been a damn warrior these past 9 years, and I’ll continue to fight. But, I want to dedicate this post to all the caregivers who love their partner, friend, family, anyone they know who lives with epilepsy. I know you worry every minute if they’ll have an episode. But, my Epilepsy Warriors got this and we are forever grateful for your love and support. 💜💜💜

Here is a picture of me before Epilepsy came into

Here is a picture of me before Epilepsy came into my life. Happy 9 year anniversary to Epilepsy. I try to break up with Epilepsy every day. But we’re stuck with each other forever. So how can I be happy in this relationship? Be positive, let it be and stay true to myself always. 💜 #epilepsy #epilepsywarriors💜 #epilepsyfighter💜 #epilepsyawareness

Welp it’s been a bit since I’ve been on here.

Welp it’s been a bit since I’ve been on here. Last year was the first time I didn’t post anything about epilepsy awareness month in November. Usually I do. I think it’s because I just didn’t want to think that I have this disorder… even though I’m living with it everyday. I’m disappointed in myself for keeping these feelings away because usually I share it with you or people who understand the disease!

All I can say, it’s been bad. I’ve been hiding behind Kupp for a while trying to ignore it. Yet epilepsy sure doesn’t want to ignore me. But when you have a lot more seizures you can handle, the emotions get high and heavy. BUT I love the epilepsy community and it’s important to be vulnerable and support each other 💜

Meet Kupp 🐶 We are now a family of 3! Yes a puppy is a LOT of work BUT the most rewarding work. He is an Australian Shephard and Beagle mix, we picked him up from @thebarkinglotrescue we are so happy 😁 💜

Today is SUDEP Action Day. SUDEP is Sudden Unexpec

Today is SUDEP Action Day. SUDEP is Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy. The last 2 weeks I’ve experienced seizures in my sleep. (Which are pretty dangerous) Travis hears me choking, he checks on me and I wake up knowing I had a seizure in my sleep. Im freaked out if he couldn’t hear me or I could choke on my drool. I’m forever grateful for my husband 💜 #epilepsyawareness #sudep #sudepawareness

Acting like everything is ok is hard sometimes whe

Acting like everything is ok is hard sometimes when you live an invisible disorder 😭 It is hit or miss when you have a seizure and it’s hard to tell someone when you experience this every day. But we fight on 💪🏻 #epilepsy #epilepsyawareness #epilepsywarriors 💜
