Sick: Sick of seizures, sick of my life

I don't know how much longer I can tolerate this. My body is telling me it wants to give up. My mind doesn't know what to do anymore.

Thanks, Rick. I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate your support. Making it through is trying and only you and everyone else here understand it. As you said, I am frustrated about my body, not about myself. I am trying as hard as I can. You are trying as hard as well and if I can do anything, let me know.

Lol! I love the way you think Rick! Thanks for giving me a big ole Laugh! I so needed that. I'ts good to run across a great humored soul...hang in there hon, sounds like you're a real trooper. I'm calling my daughter in here now to read your post. I think it may give her some encouragement in dealing with her E. She could use some right now.

Thanks!!! Karen

I am right there with ya! I am having a difficult time with medications and not being able to drive. I am 27 and have gran mal and petimal seizures I have had 3 gran mal in past 2 years which isn't bad to some but my first one was 2 years ago and they came out of nowhere. Some days I just feel like I am a burden to others and can never have "my time" or go anywhere without someone taking me. This so far is the only site that helps me realize there are others feeling the same way and I am not alone. Some days are harder than the rest just to get out of bed with the constant worrying of having another seizure, how you are going to get around for the day, what your moods/side effects will be from meds just constant worry and fear. Let me know if you find anything that helps you because I am struggling with everyday life right now too!!
