Hi, @santosha,

I wanted to let you know I moved your post about a phrase or idea that helped navigate epilepsy into its own discussion, as I thought it merited that.

Wondering if @dannoyes @louissc and @jakedduck1 might have some thoughts on a phrase, an idea, a way of seeing things that helped them cope with a life with epilepsy?

Hi Lisa,
Thank you so much for doing that, Lisa! This discussion truly deserves its own space!
@keeg1010 , @cathy5161 , @royanthony , and @closetmonster93 might also have something valuable to share with us.

@lisalucier @santosha @jakedduck1 @louissc as is so often the case with epilepsy, there’s a certain serendipity to the events in our lives. This morning I had two significant seizures, and as I was recovering, I reminded myself that I must be 'flexible' with my expectations and 'show myself grace' to live with this diagnosis. On the surface, these two concepts seem incredibly easy, but epilepsy means constantly dedicating and redirecting your life back to them. As I lay in bed recovering, I told myself that my day is not over. I just need to realign, just like I've done numerous times before. One day at a time.
