30 M Life Gave me a Biggest and Worst Surprise and I'm fully Lost.
I lost my job after being diagnosed with epilepsy and I don’t know what to do next.
A few weeks ago, I was at work when everything suddenly went black. After a few minutes, I regained consciousness and my colleagues told me I had a seizure. I went to a neurologist with my friend. All my test results came back normal, and the doctor gave me medication and told me to return if it happened again.
The very next day at work, it happened again. My manager told me to go home and see the doctor. When I visited the doctor and was talking to him, I had another seizure right in front of him. After that, he confirmed it was epilepsy. I told him about My uncle who has epilepsy so its genetical he says so he prescribed daily medication and explained the precautions I needed to follow.
I took five days off to rest and see if the medicine helped. Nothing happened during those five days, so I went back to work feeling hopeful. But then I had another seizure at work again. The doctor told me to avoid stress and stay relaxed, but honestly, how is that possible when this keeps happening at your workplace?
I kept trying to continue working for about a month. Then one day my manager called me, asked about my health, came to meet me, and told me they were letting me go because of my condition.
It’s already very hard to find a job right now. I don’t even know if I’ll be able to work normally anymore or if I’ll just keep struggling with seizures.
Now I keep thinking about everything at once. I don’t have a job anymore. My family depends on me. My sister’s marriage is coming up. My future feels uncertain. I even worry whether anyone will want to marry me after this.
The doctor told me to stay calm and avoid stress, but that feels impossible right now.
My uncle's Son is of my age he is fully fine and enjoying his life, smoking, alcohol etc. Why it selected me? dirty genetics,
I honestly feel lost.
