MDJunction to me

"Before i found MDJ i was in the deepest darkest part of my life after my abduction. I wanted to feel safe. I wanted that sense of being a normal person.Finding MDJ and the people with in it has steered me down the correct path into the light of hope. The feeling of hope that i was not alone,the feeling of hope of understanding,and the feeling of hope to move on. I never give up hope." (1magicman)

I had a seizure after going almost 2 months seizure free and I tried my best to explain to someone I can't control my anger but she refuses to try to understand. She just keeps bringing religion into it.

She's in my congregation and has seen me have several seizures and i'll never share anything with her again. Angry

Some people just don't understand and some don't want to understand. If you've tried a couple of times and she doesn't understand maybe she falls into one of these two groups of people? Sometimes we are better off not trying to get people like this to understand, maybe?

Some people are just either slow or dumb actually.

She didn't want to hear I couldn't control my emotions after I'd gone almost 2 months seizure free she thought once it was over that was it.

You shouldn't think of it again.
