Relationships and Dating
You're not alone! When it comes to dating, everyone gets nervous. However the more comfortable a person feels about themself, the more comfortable others will feel with them. When it comes to dating, you're the only one who can decide when the time is right to talk about epilepsy. If you have frequent seizures, you may wish to tell your girlfriend or boyfriend about epilepsy early in your relationship. If you do, they'll know what's happening and how to help when you have a seizure. Certain people such as your teachers and coaches - should ALWAYS know about your epilepsy.
If you have a seizure, your friends can make sure you're safer by:
- Staying calm
- Moving things away from you
- Putting a pillow or cloth under your head
- Turning you on your side
- Loosening things around your neck
- Never putting anything in your mouth
- Not holding you
- Never leaving you alone
- Through talking about epilepsy you can help those around you to understand it and teach them how to help you stay safe during a seizure.
