Seizure Punk

Sick and tired of being overlooked.

[seizurepunk]

I designed a Seizure Punk flag.

The darker purple represents Epilepsy.

The lighter purple and cyan represents Non-Epileptic Seizures.

The dark purple and blue can double as suicide awareness colors.

The yellow represents neurological disorders and neurodivergence.

The white represents invisible disorders.

The black represents dehumanization.

This flag is based on a combination of the voidpunk flag, the two seizure awareness ribbons, and the disability pride flag. It represents the difficulty and invisibility of the lives of people with any kind of seizure disorder, as well as a recognition and unification of the two disorders despite their differences.

It's for all the people who are sick of the lack of help, sick of the lack of information and the judgements and biases found even among medical professionals. It's for the adults who still struggle, despite all of the information being aimed at children and their parents. For people who may be struggling with even basic things others take for granted, because of their seizures. It's for people who are or were angry and done with it all. It is for solidarity among people who have seizures, or people who know someone who does.

People with seizures can face many unseen difficulties and dangers, from poor mental health including suicide, seizure phobia, and (especially in the case of non-epileptic seizures) PTSD, to physical health issues being harmed or even killed by the seizures themselves, or someone else who is ignorant to the subject.

Please signal boost. I would greatly appreciate it, and I'm sure many people who suffer would too.

As a person with seizures I have personally been subjected to the limiting infrastructure which keeps me and people like me from being able to lead lives worth living. Systemic problems and lack of support which can make it extremely difficult to even have autonomy or get diagnosed. I have personally been without a diagnosis for my seizures for over ten years. Epilepsy can kill. Not getting help is not okay. Awareness can help save lives.
