Criticizing and rejecting me by others reduces my motivation to treat my illness.
|
Motivation
|
I remember going to school. The time I was 15 years old. My friends didn’t let me join their circles. They rejected me. But I hoped I would be cured and my illness would be controlled. I did not lose my spirit. I had motivation for the future of my life.
|
|
I actively follow behaviors related to the dimensions of controlling my illness (such as preventing possible injuries during seizures and adhering to the therapeutic regimen).
|
Self-Regulatory
|
It is important for me to try to follow what my doctor tells me. I don’t ride a bicycle and I care not to get injured during a seizure.
|
|
Cooperation of others, I will explain the conditions/symptoms of my illness to them.
|
Cognition
|
When I meet someone like new colleagues or friends who do not know my condition, I tell them about the disease and its symptoms. I ask them to understand me and help me during the seizure.
|
|
Deprivation of social rights due to my illness has made me angry and frustrated me in continuing my social activities.
|
Emotional- Effective
|
I have long been looking for a job, but as soon as the employer understands that I have epilepsy, he doesn’t give me the job. I wanted to marry my favorite girl, but my illness prevented her family from agreeing. I’m nervous and desperate to do something.
