"Hi, my name is Billie, I am 20 years old, and I have been having seizures since I was 12. I have kept them somewhat under control with medication, but they have never entirely disappeared, even though I am on the highest dose possible. I used to be highly anxious about having a seizure which caused me to have more. I didn’t feel safe going anywhere alone. I avoided any activity that included adrenaline and excitement because my doctor told me I would have to find a stress-free job and live as quietly as possible. That didn’t sound like the busy, exciting, fun life and career I wanted.

I took The Switch course via Zoom to help with my anxiety and triggers of having a seizure. I learned so much about my body and came to understand the deeper meanings of my anxiety, which didn’t just stem from my epilepsy. After some time, I realised that doing daily switches is the key to my success and all the other techniques I have learned from this course. Now I am feeling great about my body and mental health and free from the constraints my doctor gave me. I am more social now, not afraid to go out, and can’t wait to see what else I can do next."
