How many of you work and what do you do?
Wed, 10/11/2006 - 12:37I have been diagnosed with E for 9 years but had them since I was at least 7. I have worked since I was able to work. Part time as a teen-ager. Then when I got married at 18 (8-S)
I worked full time and have sine then, besides a year for school.
I am to the point now, though, that I feel I am almost not able to anymore. I am having a hard time dealing with this. I'm being really hard on myself my husband and family says. I know I can't help having E. I know I have tried to work all these years with it. But now that is it getting worse and I am on more meds , I don't think I can hold on much longer. I feel so guilty about it. I'm messing up at work, and when I do that at my job, its a big deal.
I don't know, I guess I needed to vent. Thanks for listening. (((Hugs)))

Hi Wendy,
I will go in and try and change it. Some of this is still new to me.

I'm a minister at a local rescue mission, and I also work at a recovery home.
I understand the frustration, it's difficult making adjusments, and people still have some very strange idea's about seizure disorders.
Plus my memory is not what it used to be, which is why I put off getting my Masters next spring.
I keep on doing the best I can though, talking to others who are going through the same issues has been a big help though.
Hang in there.
