the best thing ive ever done is what my heart tells me to do and if u trust ur heart then i think that will help get u through what ur going through cuz sometimes i can have 2 different feelings about one thing and i always trust my heart...just like my ex. i loved him but i had to leave because it was not only what was best for me with a 20 yr age differance but it was what was best for him 2. I just want a guy who i can bond with. theres a poem i favor...maybe because it helps me accept all the ass's in the world.
If you love someone set them free
Ir they come back to you
There yours
If they dont
They never were.

In my opinion the first step in living with epilepsy is accepting that you have it and that it DOES cause a person to not realize what there acting like sometimes...in my case because of the lack of social interaction i had as a child. When i started having seizers at 12 the school i was going to requested that i go into a home schooling program called home bound because they were scared my seizures would tramatize the other students...so once a week the school sent a teacher to my house instead of me going to school. those close to me tell me that its like i flirt with every guy i meet but im just being nice, too nice i guess. I also get very tence and stressed and when i do it seems as if im angry when im really not but it will cause me to do things like punch pillows or push my self away from people when im in that state. It sounds to me like your ex has a lot to accept about himself still and just needs someone to love and support him. As long as ive had seizures im just now learning to be confident and more independant because in a lot of ways im scared to be alone still. I hope this helps someone, its helping me just to talk about it.
