#epilepsyawarenessday

[youarenotliketheregulars]

Today was Epilepsy Awareness Day and I asked my teacher to approve the school for us all to wear purple instead of uniform and a lot of ppl came through and I wanted to cry so hard bc it’s so important to me considering I was diagnosed in May last year. Nobody talks about this disorder enough considering 1 in 26 people contract it every DAY. It can hit you at any point in your life, especially if it’s due to a traumatic event in your life. Mine is due to stress caused by anxiety and depression. It’s very hard to deal with, but I’m trying to not let it define me as a person and stop me from doing the things I love. I also got to wear my Olivia caticorn shirt so there’s another positive thing that came out of today!!! And I know Tay loves purple too 💜

Purple Day is an annual event dedicated to raising awareness about epilepsy. It was founded in 2008 by Cassidy Megan, a young Canadian girl who has epilepsy herself, with the aim of encouraging people to learn more about the condition and to support those living with it.

On Purple Day, which falls on March 26th each year, people worldwide wear purple clothing and accessories as a sign of solidarity with those affected by epilepsy. Buildings and landmarks may also be lit up in purple to raise awareness.

The color purple was chosen because it represents both the sadness often associated with epilepsy, as well as the hope for a brighter future through increased awareness, understanding, and support for individuals with epilepsy.

During Purple Day, various events and activities take place globally, including educational seminars, fundraising events, social media campaigns, and community outreach efforts.
