Aiw for not being upset that somebody filmed me having a seizure

So I am an 18-year-old girl, and I have FND. I have really bad seizures because of it. To put into perspective what they look like: my head jerks, my hands shake, my fingers stretch out, my legs jerk, my eyes blink very rapidly, and I start chewing the inside of my mouth.

I was at school, and there’s this girl named Kelly (17F). She doesn’t like me because she got mad at me after I called her out for using Christianity to excuse some of the horrible things she does. She also calls me rude, even though she makes fun of my autism and says a bunch of hurtful things about my friends. She makes fun of everything about me and just does a lot of other stuff, but that’s not what this post is about.

I was having a seizure, and she started filming me. She was also repeatedly yelling at me to stop because I was “scaring her.” Then I threw up on the floor multiple times and got wheeled out by the nurse. She posted the video on her Snapchat or Instagram. The thing is, you can clearly see me having a seizure, and I really do not care. Honestly, that says way more about her than it does about me. I also don’t care if people believe me because they’re not the ones living with it.

Kelly started making a bunch of jokes about it, and people began coming up to me asking if it was fake. They told me that Kelly filmed me having a seizure and started asking a lot of invasive questions. I just told them I didn’t care, because I really didn’t.

Kelly kept reposting it, and people were spreading the video around. Some people felt bad, and some people sided with her. Others were saying I looked possessed or like I was having an exorcism. Eventually, people started getting mad at her for filming me, and she got super freaked out about that.

I’ve just been going about my business like normal, but people keep telling me I need to report it to the principal and that I need to do this, that, and the third. Some people have even reported it for me. I straight up told people who were reporting Kelly, “Two wrongs don’t make a right. I am not going to get somebody in trouble. I’m not going to report her because I do not care. Also, it’s not your place to report her. Reporting her is just petty and immature, and it solves absolutely nothing except making Kelly upset. You’re doing too much with this reporting.”

That’s what I told every single one of them, and they got mad at me. They kept saying I have to report her or contact her mom, but I’m not doing that. Kelly did apologize, and I just told her I didn’t care, because I don’t. I’m going to have seizures regardless of whether they’re filmed or not.
