I have a couple neurological conditions that can contribute strong to accidents. I have temporal lobe epilepsy and Chiari malformation type 1, a condition with many possible symptoms/signs. I had long-term nocturnal enuresis even as a teenage girl. In addition I’m diagnosed with autism spectrum and severe mental illness.
When I was a child I felt such deep shame I avoided school to escape the bullying and adversity in form of teachers who hated me. I could not focus on my work due to psychosis, anxiety and my undiagnosed Asperger making me very sensitive to the sensory aspects; especially the noise in the hallway outside classroom and the fire alarm was just helvettas/fucking painful to hear for me.
and I had often accident at school, before we got prescribed aid from pharmacy place I knew it would be hell inside my head. Classmates making cruel fun of my issues. But really when I finally got this help I could actually sleep well at night and also through the nine days of the womanhood curse, I truly needed it and the shame was much less intense inside. I must mention I’m epileptic and have Chiari type 1, and the protection helps to sleep well at night.
so in my case I mostly overcome my fears with different treatments of difficult times in youth and childhood years. Don’t be afraid of seeking help no matter the shame related to the conditions, it’s often a great relief.
thank you all for listening ❤
