Hi Cathy,
Embarrassed? Why? Not everyone fits into the idealistic definition of normal or perfection. Even if your friends are making comments about your tremors, so what. Why should you care. YOU have nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about, NOTHING!! I’ve had Epilepsy for over a half century and I could tell you things that happened to me that would curl your hair, make you blush and cry but I’ll spare you and those incidents are insignificant compared to others I’ve known and read about. I wrote on Epilepsy forums for many years and it’s amazing how many people are unable to come to terms with an illness. For a very short time I too was one of those people, my condition happened so suddenly and severely I couldn’t cope but I soon realized “It is what it is.” But I wanted to live my life and be healthy and happy but the healthy part took nearly 50 years. I have a condition that I have no control over and even though I heard many people make cruel comments, hopefully it was ignorance but I’m afraid some of it was stupidity but regardless there was no reason to be embarrassed or ashamed.
Always accept and love yourself as you are. Never be embarrassed or ashamed.
Health and happiness,
Jake
